PITTSBURGH, Pa.--Senior Dana Shook registered a team-high 14 points including four three-pointers to lead the visiting Hood College women's basketball team to a crucial 47-42 victory over Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference rival Chatham College Saturday at the Athletic and Fitness Center.

Hood (5-17, 4-5 AWCC) kept its playoff hopes alive with the triumph and improves to 21-1 all-time against the second-place Cougars (8-16, 5-4 AWCC). The Blazers must defeat Trinity University Monday to stay in the hunt for an AWCC tournament berth.

The Blazers found themselves in a 12-4 hole within the first five minutes but quickly responded with 13-2 spurt to tie the score at 14-14 with 7:08 to go in the half. Four different players scored and Shook drained a pair of treys in the run, the second of which gave the Blazers their first lead of the game, 17-14 at the 6:10 mark. Hood took a slim 19-18 edge at halftime.

A three-pointer by Sara Wastler gave Hood its largest lead of the game, 29-22, with 16:08 to go, but the Cougars rallied to tie it up at 33-33 on a triple by Erica Bilski, the AWCC leader in three-point field goals. But that would be Bilskiýs lone three-pointer of the contest as the Blazers limited her to only four attempts from distance on the day.

Hood took the lead for good on Shook's fourth three of the afternoon at the 6:04 mark and Wastler nailed a pair of foul shots in the closing seconds to ice the victory.

Freshman Jennifer Willison registered her eighth double-double of the season with 13 points and 10 rebounds to go along with three steals. Classmate Sara Hartlaub tallied eight points and pulled down eight boards while Wastler finished with nine points, six rebounds and three assists.

Bilski finished with 12 points in the losing cause while Allason Holt chipped in 11 points, seven rebounds and four blocks.

The Blazers wrap up the regular season Monday hosting Trinity University at Gambrill Gymnasium. Hood will also recognize its two seniors, Tamara Maggard and Dana Shook, before the contest.
