WASHINGTON, D.C.--The Hood College men's soccer team (3-12, 1-6 CAC) put the skids on a five-game losing streak with a 5-0 Capital Athletic Conference triumph over the Gallaudet University Bison (0-17, 0-7 CAC) Friday evening.

The Blazers also registered their first conference win of the fall and improved to 5-0 all-time against the Bison.

Senior Carlin Rabie scored a goal in each half to bring his team-leading total to four. Rabie got the Blazers on the board in the 24th minute off a Jaime Ramirez corner kick. Ramirez picked up his fourth assist of the season on the score.

Less than three minutes later, senior Shawn Fernholz found the back of the net for the first time in his Blazer career off a feed from freshman Zach Salisbury. After serving as Hood's starting goalkeeper virtually his entire career in the blue and gray, Fernholz finally was able to add a goal to his impressive resume. Hood maintained the 2-0 advantage at halftime.

In the second half, Rabie struck again when he booted one into the lower left corner of the net in the 61st minute. Two more Blazers recorded their first scores of the season. Salisbury finished a cross from senior Corey DeMaster in the 66th minute and junior Derrick Kuhn blasted one past Bison netminder Poloko Qobose in the 75th minute.

Freshman William Lane posted the first shutout of his career, rejecting all three Gallaudet attempts on target.

Hood wraps up the regular season Wednesday at CAC foe York College (Pa.) at 3:30 p.m.
