• The Short Story: The Johns Hopkins men's soccer team twice rallied from a one-goal deficit to defeat host Dickinson, 3-2, in both teams' regular season finale Saturday afternoon.
 
How it Happened
• Hopkins found itself trailing for the first time since the 38^th minute versus Gettysburg on September 23. Kevin Gilbert put Dickinson up with the first of his two goals in the 26^th minute.
• The lead was short-lived however as Hopkins answered with a goal from junior Liam Moylan just seven minutes later. Senior Sebastian Salathe took a pass from sophomore RJ Moore and crossed it to Moylan. He took several touches, beat a couple of defenders and slotted it past Frederick Meagher.
• The teams looked to be heading into the half tied at one, but Gilbert had other ideas. He intercepted a Blue Jay pass, dribbled to the top of the box and fired a shot past sophomore Xander LeFevre with just 50 seconds left to put the Red Devils up 2-1.
• Hopkins drew level in the 56^th minute when sophomore Pablo Martinez dropped a pass back to senior Griffin Cyphers near the top of the Dickinson box. Cyphers took a touch and then beat Meagher to the right post to make it a 2-2 game.
• Twenty-one minutes later, the Blue Jays grabbed their first lead of the game. From near the left end line, Martinez sent a cross to sophomore Alejandro Maclean, who one-touched the pass inside the right post in the 77^th minute.
 
What it Means
• Hopkins improves to 35-17-5 all-time against Dickinson and is unbeaten (3-0-2) in the last five meetings.
• The Blue Jays secure the number two seed in next week's Centennial Conference Tournament with the win. Hopkins runs its unbeaten streak to nine games (8-0-1) entering the postseason.
