DAYTONA BEACH, Fla.--The Hood College men's basketball team (6-3) won its fourth straight game Monday, defeating the Eastern University (Pa.) Eagles (6-4), 61-38, at the Land of Magic Tournament hosted by Embry-Riddle University in Daytona Beach, Fla.

The 38 points allowed are four away from equaling the school record of 34 scored by Patrick Henry College during the 2005-06 season. Hood also halted Eastern's five-game win streak.

After the Eagles recorded the first six points of the contest, the Blazers reeled off nine straight markers to assume a lead they would not surrender the rest of the night. In fact, after allowing three Eastern baskets in the first 2:17, the Blazers limited the Eagles to just three more field goals the remainder of the half and took a 28-15 lead into halftime.

Eastern got no closer than 11 in the second half as the Blazers shot an even 50.0% from the field (24-of-48) for the game.

Hood also held a tremendous rebounding advantage, 41-17.

Senior J'Air Brady led the way for Hood with 18 points, including three treys, to go along with three assists and five steals. Sophomore Tory Wilson registered his second double-double in the blue and grey with 14 points and a game-high 10 boards, and Brenden Straughn also reached double digits with 10 points and a pair of assists. Freshman Justin Stone came off the bench to haul in seven defensive boards, matching his career-high, in addition to hitting 2-of-3 from the field for four points.

Hood returns to the hardwood Tuesday night when it squares off against the host Embry-Riddle Eagles at 7:30 p.m.
