BALTIMORE, Md. - Back-to-back goals midway through the second half led No. 4 Johns Hopkins to a 4-1 victory over the McDaniel College women's soccer team Wednesday at Homewood Field.
Returning to the site where they won their first Centennial Conference championship a year ago, the Green Terror (6-3-4, 4-1-2 CC) were out-shot 27-7 as the Blue Jays scored the game's final three goals.
After Hopkins (10-0-2, 6-0-0 CC) took an early 1-0 lead in the game's ninth minute, McDaniel netted the equalizer in the 23rd when sophomore
Olivia Moskunas scored her first goal of the season and fourth of her career.
The goal was the first allowed by the Blue Jays in six conference games this season, snapping their shutout streak at 472:22.
With the game tied at 1-1 nearing the end of the first half, Hopkins broke the tie when Rebecca Rosen scored the first of her two goals on a header off a corner kick by Lily Gaston for what proved to be the game-winner with 34 seconds left.
Reigning Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week, graduate student
Katherine Carstensen, totaled two of her seven saves in the first 45 minutes while facing 11 shots.
However, Hopkins took control of the contest midway through the second, scoring back-to-back goal in a span of 2:40 to increase its lead to 4-1 in the 64th minute. Gaston picked up her second assist at 61:18 when she found Katie Sullivan for her eighth marker of the season.
Rosen then netted her team-leading ninth goal of the year at 63:58 to seal the Blue Jays' seventh-straight win at home and keep them unbeaten in their last 33 regular-season home games dating back to 2017.
McDaniel travels to Haverford on Saturday for a 3 p.m. start against the Fords.
