Hood Sisters Help USD Go 6-0

USD Zips Past Akron 86-65

Only 17 women have scored at least 1,000 career points as basketball players at the University of San Diego.

USD senior Malina Hood joined that select group Friday in her team's win over Valpo.

Then against Akron on Saturday, she tallied 16 points to help lead USD to a 86-65 victory.

Apparently it runs in the family because her younger sister Maya wound up with a game-high 23 points against the Zips.

USD is 6-0 and off to the best start in team history.

The USD men's team also beat Drexel 62-59 on Saturday.

It's the first win for the Torreros under new head basketball coach LaMont Smith.
