Men's Basketball Falls to Villa Julie

FREDERICK, Md.--Hood College saw its season-high three-game winning streak come to an end with an 87-74 loss to Villa Julie Saturday night at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School.

Junior Santo Provenzano scored a game-high 24 points and sophomore Jesse Gutekunst added 21 points, five rebounds and four blocks for Hood (7-9), but it wasn't enough to overcome four Mustang players who scored in double digits.

Phillip Williams led Villa Julie (7-5) with 23 points and Anthony Fitzgerald had 18 points and a game-high 21 rebounds, including 15 on the defensive end. Steve Segears had 19 points and five assists, while Kerry Dugan added 12 points.

Hood, which trailed 38-29 at halftime, pulled to within 52-49 on a 3-pointer by junior Darnell Edmonds with 12:53 left.

However, the Blazer bench was issued a technical foul following a personal foul on freshman Tim Abercrombie, and Williams hit all four free throws to spark a 10-0 Mustang run.

Hood got no closer than nine points the rest of the way and suffered just its fourth loss in 20 all-time home games.

The Blazers return to action Monday when they host Gallaudet at 7 p.m.
