Allentown, PA - The Blue Jay field hockey team shut out the Mules in the first half but Kristen Bruschi had two late goals and one assist as Muhlenberg rallied to a 3-0 win over Johns Hopkins in Centennial Conference action. Hopkins fell to 2-7 overall and 1-2 in the conference while Muhlenberg improved to 7-3 overall and 2-1 in the CC.

The Blue Jays took just one first-half shot but the Mules missed two and Meredith Shifman (South Orange, NJ/Columbia) saved another to keep Muhlenberg off the scoreboard in the first half.

Johns Hopkins had four shots in the second half but could not contain the Mules, who had eight shots and three penalty corners. Bruschi's corner 12 minutes into the game set up Sarah Levin for the first goal of the game, which proved to be the gamewinner. Bruschi scored her first insurance goal five minutes later off an assist from Stephanie Light and then sealed the win with her second goal, set up by Levin, in the 65th minute.

Shifman finished with four saves for the Blue Jays, who were out-shot 11-5 but led in penalty corners 7-3. Johns Hopkins returns to action tomorrow, Saturday Oct. 2 at Scranton (4 p.m)
