WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. - Hood College used a 7-1 run during the second and third quarters to erase an early deficit in a 9-8 win over Lycoming in Commonwealth Conference play.

The Blazers trailed 5-1 in the second quarter, but tallies by Cody Mai (Hanover, Pa. / South Western) and Alex Villegas (New Windsor, Md. / Winters Mill) cut the deficit to two at haltime. 

Hood's spree continued into the third quarter. Patrick O'Brien (Ridley, Pa. / Ridley), Rudy Garcia (Jessup, Md. / St. Vincent Pallotti), James Weger (Shrewsbury, Pa. / Susquehannock) and Nick Druelinger (Joppa, Md. / John Carroll) each scored during a six minute stretch, ending with Druelinger's man up marker with 6:36 left in the period. After Lycoming slowed down the rally on a Mike Cooper goal, Malik Brown (Frederick, Md. / Frederick) found the back of the net for a 9-6 lead entering the fourth quarter.

The Warriors scored twice in the first two minutes of the final period, but it was not enough as the Blazer defense regrouped to preserve the lead.
