FREDERICK, Md.--The University of Mary Washington College Eagles (5-0, 2-0 CAC), the top-ranked women's basketball squad in NCAA Division III, visited Gov. Thomas Johnson High School gym Saturday afternoon and handed the Hood College Blazers (0-6, 0-2 CAC) a 63-18 loss in Capital Athletic Conference action.

Hood led early on in the contest on two occasions, the last at 5-4 after a jumper by Sara Wastler at the 16:11 mark. But back-to-back buckets by Ashton Mitchell gave the Eagles an 8-5 edge moments later. Neither squad scored for the next 5:12 until a Brooke Davis jumper snapped the drought midway through the half. From there the Eagles outscored Hood 17-3 to close the half and led 27-8 at halftime.

The shooting woes continued in the second half for the Blazers, who managed just three field goals in the stanza.

Wastler finished with seven points and six rebounds while Allyson Lethbridge tallied five points and Whitney Schultheis and Whitney Boyer added three apiece.

Liz Hickey paced the visitors with 15 points and nine boards while Mitchell and Kaitie Clarkin chipped in 10 points apiece.

The Blazers return to action Monday at Philadelphia Biblical University in a nonconference tilt at 6 p.m.
