BALTIMORE, MD - Four different players scored for Johns Hopkins as the field hockey team beat visiting Bryn Mawr, 4-1, on senior day at Homewood Field.

Junior Kiana Duncan scored what proved to be the game-winner just 6:46 into the game as the Blue Jays capitalized on a corner. Junior Leslie MacManus inserted the corner to senior Danielle Thompson. She settled the ball and passed across the top of the circle to Duncan, who blasted a shot just inside the right post for the score. It took the Blue Jays more than 21 minutes to double its lead and it came off a nice individual effort by sophomore Austin Davis. Davis collected a loose ball in the circle, dribbled through several defenders before slotting a shot past Alex Weinfield at 27:55 to make it a 2-0 game.
The Owls kept fighting and at the 47:15-mark, they cut the deficit in half. Katie Alpert crossed the ball from the right end line and Cassandra Garcia-Bacha deflected a high shot into the left corner to make it 2-1. Just over three minutes later however, the Blue Jays retook a two-goal lead. Senior Amanda Darrow took a hard shot from the top of the circle and sophomore Bridget Hampton redirected the ball around Weinfield at 50:36. Junior Natalie Vicas then closed out the scoring at the 61:53-mark. Freshman Clare Kavanagh played a nice through ball to Vicas, who fired home a hard shot from just inside the circle.
Junior Zoey Atabek got the win without making a save and playing the first half for the Blue Jays. Thompson made a defensive save to help keep the Owls to just one goal. Weinfield finished with 16 saves and got a defensive save from Ashlee Williams. Hopkins outshot Bryn Mawr, 36-3, and had 15 corners to just three for the visitors.
