Carlisle, PA - The Johns Hopkins field hockey team posted a 2-1 win in penalty strokes over Dickinson Wednesday afternoon.

After a scoreless first half, Katie Austin scored an unassisted goal with 23:20 remaining to give the Red Devils a 1-0 lead. The Blue Jays responded when senior forward Kelly Hewitt (Stafford, VA/Springfield Township-PA) scored off an assist from sophomore midfielder Meighan Roose (Baltimore, MD/York-ME) with 13:15 remaining.

The teams remained tied throughout the rest of regulation and two overtime periods, forcing penalty strokes. The Blue Jays had a chance to win in the second overtime, but Roose was stopped on a penalty stroke by Dickinson goalkeeper Tara McFadden.

The Blue Jays quickly took a 2-0 in the penalty strokes, as senior forward Jenny Farrelly (Clinton Township, NJ/North Hunterdon) and senior forward Rachel Callaway (Ardmore, PA/Lower Merion) each scored. After both teams failed to score in the third round, Roose cliched the win for Hopkins by scoring in the fourth. JHU freshman goalkeeper Dayna Eng (Ellicott City, MD/Centennial), who only played in the penalty strokes, made two saves before allowing a goal in the final round, as Hopkins won the penalty strokes, 3-1.
