Maheras' 89th-Minute Goal Pushes Blue Jays Past Muhlenberg

Johns Hopkins Scored Two Goals In Final 10 Minutes

The Basics 
• Score: #6 Johns Hopkins - 2, Muhlenberg, - 1
• Records: #6 JHU (8-1-4, 2-0-3 CC) • Muhlenberg (6-4-1, 1-3-1 CC)
• Location: Baltimore, MD • Homewood Field
• The Short Story: The sixth-ranked Johns Hopkins women's soccer team topped Muhlenberg, 2-1, after an offensive push spearheaded by Emily Maheras and Carly Lupton-Smith in the final ten minutes of play.

How it Happened
• After 35 scoreless minutes, sophomore Cece Peden intercepted a pass just past midfield, starting a breakaway down the left sideline. Going stride for stride with a Blue Jay defender, Peden maneuvered her way to the top of the box, pulling the ball across the defender to open up her right foot and fire a shot into the rear post, giving Muhlenberg the 1-0 advantage.    
 
• In the 68th minute of play, Hopkins made an offensive run. From inside the box, senior Maddy Rocks played a short ball to Maheras in front of the goal. Maheras snuck past her defender and fired a shot off the post. Despite multiple scoring opportunities throughout the second half, the Blue Jays remained scoreless until the final ten minutes of play.
 
• Dominating the possession, Maheras drew a foul in the 81st minute to earn a free kick for Hopkins. Junior Alexandra Damron played the ball into the box and senior Carly Lupton-Smith flicked it into the back of the net for the equalizer.
 
• With just over a minute to play, Hopkins drew another foul. Freshman Abigail Gerdes went down at the top of the box, giving the Blue Jays a penalty kick. Maheras stepped to the line and snuck one inside the left post to give the Blue Jays the 2-1 victory. The goal gave Maheras her team-leading ninth of the season.
 

What it Means
• Hopkins improves to 22-9-1 all time against Muhlenberg and has won eight straight in the series.
• The Blue Jays pushed their unbeaten streak to 10 games (6-0-4).

• Lupton-Smith recorded her second goal on the season, a career high.
• The Blue Jays outshot the Mules 24-11 with 16 of their 24 shots coming in the second half.
