HARRISONBURG, Va. - Hood College's Evan Wang had the most steals for a Blazer in 10 years, but it was not enough in a 98-83 loss at Eastern Mennonite.

• Daniel Wegener reached double digits off the bench for the second game in a row, hitting all four of his field goals on his way to 13 points. The junior's five blocks were the most for a Hood player since Scott Bolen rejected as many in 2015.

• Rashawn Latimer's layup with 11:22 remaining in the half gave the Royals a 16-15 lead and they never trailed again. 
• Kobe Butler brought the Blazers within 33-32 with a 3-pointer at 4:24, but EMU answered with a 3-pointer by Maleke Jones stretched the Eastern Mennonite lead to 36-32.
