FREDERICK, Md.--Senior Allyson Lethbridge of the Hood College women's basketball team (7-13, 2-11 CAC) became the eighth women's basketball player to score 1,000 career points Saturday in a 55-40 Capital Athletic Conference setback to the Stevenson University Mustangs (3-18, 2-11 CAC) Saturday at the Odom Fitness Center.

Lethbridge came into the contest needing just 12 points to reach the 1,000-point plateau. She notched her first marker of the night on a free throw at the 7:35 mark of the first half. After missing the second, Dyanna Prater grabbed the offensive board and found Lethbridge on the perimeter as she drained her first triple of the night to make it 16-13 Stevenson. She added a jumper at the 3:25 mark of the first period and went into the break needing just six more points in the second half. Hood trailed 26-20 at the break.

In the second half, Lethbridge's first two attempts from the field were off the mark but she went to the line again for two shots at the 14:51 mark and made 1-of-2 to bring her tally to seven. Then after teammate Emily Maerz rejected an attempt by Daniela Poss and grabbed the rebound, Kameran Evans set up Lethbridge at the other end. She converted a fast-break layup and was fouled. Lethbridge completed the old-fashioned three-point play to bring her scoring total to 10.

Two minutes later, Maerz once again found Lethbridge in transition and she calmly laid one in at the 12:31 mark for the historic bucket. Lethbridge finished with exactly 12 points on the night, as her final four shot attempts rimmed out.

It was a bittersweet night though for the Blazers, who struggled from the field against the Mustangs, shooting just 21.4 percent from the field. Prater chipped in eight points and a season-high seven steals while Briana White fouled out with seven points, seven boards and four steals. Maerz pulled down seven caroms while Caitlyn Nixon grabbed six in her eight minutes of work off the bench.

Mustangs Poss and Kristen Steiner both registered double-doubles in the victory, Stevenson's second in the CAC and third on the season.

Hood hits the road for its next two CAC games against the University of Mary Washington Wednesday and Marymount University Saturday.
