Fairfax, VA - Senior center Jess Fuller had 14 points and became Hofstra's all-time leader in career blocked shots as Hofstra cruised to a 72-39 victory over George Mason on Thursday evening at the Patriot Center.

The 39 points allowed were the fewest Hofstra had allowed an opponent since a 70-39 win over Stetson on December 31, 2006.

Hofstra was led by sophomore guard Nicole Capurso, who scored 20 points on 7-11 shooting from the field in the contest.  Redshirt sophomore guard Candice Bellocchio was also in double figures with 10 points, and added five assists.

The win moves Hofstra's record to 12-10 overall and 5-5 in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA).  It was their third road win in the Pride's last four contests away from home.  George Mason falls to 8-13 and 1-9 in CAA play with its fifth straight loss.

Fuller would break the school's all-time blocks record with 15:14 on the clock when she sent Brittany Eley's shot back and tallied career block number 176 in the process.  She broke the previous record of 175 held by Vanessa Gidden, who played from 2003-07.

Fuller wasn't the only one reaching career milestones in the game as senior guard Sam Brigham appeared in her 110th career game for the Pride, tying her for seventh all-time in program history.  Brigham would also hit a three-pointer midway through the second half that would give her 114 for her career, tying her with Diane Hobin (1991-95) for sixth all-time.

A dominating first half would see Hofstra take a 31-14 lead into the intermission as sophomore guard Nicole Capurso led the way with 11 points and Fuller was second with 10 points in the opening stanza. 

With the score 10-8 in favor of the Pride following a three-pointer from Eley at the 13:49 mark, Hofstra proceeded to go on a 19-3 run that would see them lead 29-11 with just over two minutes left in the half.  Capurso single-handedly got Hofstra started on the run as she scored the first the first eight points of the spurt, including a pair of three-pointers, to give the Pride a 18-8 advantage with 11:01 to play. 

Hofstra was never challenged in the second half as the Pride would push the lead to over 30 points en route to the 33-point win.  It was their largest margin of victory of the season, easily eclipsing the 25-point win at St. Francis (NY) earlier this season. 

Brigham finished with eight points and six assists in the game, with her assist total tying a career-high.  Evans led Hofstra with nine rebounds, while also chipping in with seven points.

Hofstra returns to action on Sunday when they host UNC Wilmington at 1 p.m.
