FREDERICK, Md.--The Hood College women's basketball team (6-17, 2-13 CAC) was defeated 72-53 by Marymount University (11-12, 8-6 CAC) in the team's last home contest of the season.

Hood was led by freshman forward Rachel Wiley, who recorded her second straight double-double. Dyanna Prater led Hood in scoring with 17 points and Emily Maerz chipped in with 12 points. Maerz also made two three point shots in the contest to send her streak of consecutive games with at least one three-point make to 19.

Marymount was led by guard Katelyn Fischer, who was dazzling with 22 points and 12 assists. Fischer continuously made plays throughout the game setting her teammates and herself up for easy chances to score. Tynisha Parks came off the bench and scored 13 points for the Saints while Hood only got two points from its bench.

In a game that Marymount never trailed the Saints got off to a quick start going on a 7-0 run to begin the game. Wiley converted her first field goal at the 15:33 mark to get Hood on the board. A Prater layup made the score 18-9 at the 11:44 mark and got the BB&T Arena crowd into the game. Marymount would silence the fans though as it went on a 10-1 run over the next five minutes of the half to give the Saints a comfortable double-digit lead at halftime.

Hood would not come as close as 19 in the second half as Marymount would run away from the Blazers in the second stanza.

The Blazers will conclude their season at 6 p.m. this Wednesday on the road at Capital Athletic Conference foe Salisbury University.
