The Blazers finished 7-9 in the conference which ranked them sixth. St. Mary’s (MD) tied with Mary Washington at 12-3 to lead the conference. Marymount finished at the bottom of the conference at a pathetic 1-14.
Hood PPG leader: Forward Cameron Cook finished with 14.0 PPG and was one of the main leaders on the team. The sophomore will need to come up big for the Blazers to succeed in the upcoming tournament.
