STEVENSON, Md.--Freshman Allyson Lethbridge poured in a game-high 20 points to lead the Hood College women's basketball team (5-18, 3-12 CAC) to a 39-34 victory over the Villa Julie College Mustangs (7-17, 4-11 CAC) Wednesday in a Capital Athletic Conference contest.

The Blazers surrendered a season-low 34 points in the contest as VJC shot just 21.7 percent from the floor for the game. It was the fewest points Hood had surrendered since allowing 32 in a 78-32 win over College of Notre Dame (Md.) Jan. 14, 2004.

Lethbridge connected on 7-of-9 from the field, highlighted by a 4-of-4 effort from distance, for more than half of Hood's total scoring output. It was her second 20-point scoring effort of the season.

Hood led 13-4 midway through the first half and lost the lead only briefly when Kristen Steiner hit a layup with just under five minutes to play to put Villa Julie on top 15-13. But the Blazers put together a 6-0 spurt on a Lethbridge trey, a Jen Willison layup and a free throw by Whitney Schultheis to take a 19-15 lead in the closing minutes of the half. Hood led 19-17 at intermission.

The Mustangs raced out of the gates in the second half, reeling off 11 unanswered points to quickly build a nine-point advantage four minutes in. Hood erased the deficit with a 7-0 run and regained the lead on another Lethbridge three with 7:25 to go in regulation. The Blazers would not relinquish that lead and held on for the win as Villa Julie misfired on its last four field goal attempts down the stretch.

Willison finished with nine points and six rebounds while Jessica Parrish had a stellar all-around game, finisging with career-highs of 11 rebounds, five assists and six steals.

The eighth-place Blazers entertain sixth-place Salisbury University Saturday at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School at 2 p.m.
