Albright looks to extend its five-game winning streak with a trip to Hood on Wednesday.

Series

Albright holds a 2-1 mark against Hood, who just joined the Commonwealth Conference last season. The Lions defeated Hood in 2004-05 before splitting two league games last year.

Previous Meeting

Hood dealt a late season blow to Albright, who would eventually be one of the first teams left out by the NCAA selection committee. After the first regional rankings of the year had the Lions second in the Mid-Atlantic Region, Hood dealt the Red and White a 70-60 setback in Frederick, Md.

The Lions made just 1-of-23 three-point attempts (4.3%) in the loss, and shot 32.2% overall from the field. Pedro Perez had 15 points, six rebounds and three steals, but went just 1-of-10 from behind the arc.

Pearsall To Be Honored on Saturday
