Box Score

PRINCETON, NJ - Princeton's Holly McGarvie's goal with 37 seconds left in the first sudden victory overtime gave the #4 Tigers an 11-10 win on Saturday afternoon at Class of '52 Stadium. For #10 Johns Hopkins, it was the first loss of the season, as the Blue Jays fall to 2-1. Princeton is now 1-0 on the season.

The teams went back-and-forth to start the game, as Hopkins struck first with senior Mary Key's (Stevensville, MD/St. Mary's) ninth goal of the season. With the game tied at 3-3 with 17:57 to play in the first half, the Blue Jays got back-to-back goals from freshman Sam Schrum (Pasadena, MD/St. Mary's) and junior Kirby Houck (Baltimore, MD/Garrison Forest) to take a 5-3 lead. Ashley Amo and Katie Lewis-Lamonica sandwiched goals around a strike by Key and it was 6-5 Hopkins heading into the half.

Lewis-Lamonica struck just 1:25 into the second to knot the score at 6-6. The Tigers then took their first lead of the game when Kathleen Miller scored at 5:10. Schrum and senior Alex Nolan (Baltimore, MD/Roland Park) then scored just 56 seconds apart to give Hopkins back an 8-7 lead. Miller came right back for the Tigers, with her second of the day, tying the game at 8-8.

Junior Kadie Stamper (Bel Air, MD/C. Milton Wright) scored off a free-position shot with 11:23 to play, giving a one-goal lead back to the Blue Jays. But McGarvie sent the game to overtime with her second goal of the afternoon. Hopkins went ahead 10-9 in the first three-minute overtime when Stamper scored just 17 seconds after the center draw. Princeton then had the ball at the end of that period, but the Tigers could not get a shot off before the horn sounded and the teams switched ends of the field.

Lewis-Lamonica netted the hat trick with 23 seconds to play in the second three-minute overtime tying the game at 10-10 and sending the game into sudden victory overtime. The Blue Jays also had a golden opportunity to win the game early in the sudden victory period. But Princeton backup goalie Kaitlyn Perrelle stopped a point-blank free-position opportunity by Key 18 seconds into the period to give the Tigers the ball. McGarvie then scored the game-winner with just 37 seconds remaining.
