FREDERICK, Md.--Junior Justina Miller and freshman Brandy Noel each scored twice to help the Hood College field hockey team defeat the visiting Rosemont College Ramblers, 5-0, Saturday afternoon at Thomas Athletic Field. The win snaps a nine-game losing skid for the Blazers, who are now 2-10 overall, while the Ramblers drop to 0-12 on the year.

Noel and Miller scored a goal in each half, and freshman Lauren Perzan recorded her first collegiate goal as the Blazers registered a season-high five goals. Sophomore Ashley Saylor and the Hood defenders did not allow the Ramblers to record a shot on goal as the Blazers recorded their second shutout of the season.

Noel notched the eventual game-winner at the 9:21 mark of the first half, and, just over a minute later, Perzan collected her score to make it 2-0. Then at the 14:53 mark, sophomore Jessica Head fed Miller for her first assist of the year, and Hood took a 3-0 lead into the break.

In the second half, Miller scored her team-leading fourth goal of the year at 41:07, and Noel rounded out the scoring 2:22 later with her third tally of the year.

Senior Kelly Cione made seven saves for Rosemont in the losing cause.

Hood returns to action Tuesday, Oct. 17 at Goucher College at 4:30 p.m.
