EMMITSBURG, Md. - A final shot by Gallaudet University senior guard Luther Weedon (Walkersville, Md.) was waved off as Hood College held on to win Tuesday's Capital Athletic Conference men's basketball game, 59-57, at Knott Arena on the campus of Mount St. Mary's University.

Moments before Weedon hit a three-pointer with 26 seconds left to pull Gallaudet (4-14, 0-12 CAC) to within one, 58-57, of the Blazers (13-9, 8-5 CAC). Hood added one point from the free-throw line before Gallaudet regained possession. Weedon missed a three-point attempt in the waning seconds, grabbed the offensive rebound and put up another shot, that went in, but the officials waved off the shot because time expired.

The loss is the ninth straight for Gallaudet as the Bison have four more conference games left in the regular-season. This game was originally scheduled for this past Saturday but was postponed twice due to the major snowstorm that hit the Mid-Atlantic region. Today's game changed venues and the teams moved up the start time to fit in the game before the next blizzard that is set to start Tuesday night.

Gallaudet trailed early against Hood down six, 10-4, just seven minutes in. The Bison then went on a 16-0 run that ended on a three-pointer made by sophomore guard Tony Tatum (Birmingham, Ala.) with 5:53 left to play before halftime. GU took a 10-point lead into the intermission up 32-22.

Hood slowly chipped away at the Gallaudet lead in the second half as the Blazers went on a 16-4 run in a seven-minute span which saw them take the lead, 38-37, on a jumper made by Brenden Straughn at the 11:15 mark. Hood would lead the remainder of the close-knit game.

Freshman Danny Kelly (Strongsville, Ohio) led the Bison with 15 points (12 in the first half) and eight rebounds as Gallaudet had four players reach double figures. Tatum finished with 12 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. Senior guard Johnny Jackson (Tuscaloosa, Ala.) knocked down four shots for 11 points and grabbed nine rebounds to go with six steals and three assists. Freshman Jocus Houston (Baton Rouge, La.) came off the bench to score 10 points. Gallaudet's bench outscored Hood's 15-4 and outrebounded the Blazers 35-33.

Hood was led by forward Justin Stone who netted a game-high 22 points to go with 12 rebounds and two assists. Center Tyler Snoots added 18 points and guard Reco Siler chipped in 12 points in the win.

Gallaudet is slated to host York (Pa.) College on Thursday, February 11, at 8 p.m. in the Field House, weather permitting. Stay tuned to www.gallaudetathletics.com for any announcements about this game and other Bison news that may happen due to the snow.
