How it Happened
• The Blue Jays wasted little time getting on the board. Sophomore Izzy Thompson crossed the ball into the circle and it was misplayed by a Red Devils' defender. Sophomore Maddie Brown-Scherer bounced on the ball and slotted a shot under goalie Heather Meeder just 2:04 into the game.
• Hopkins pushed its lead to two three minutes later. Senior Sophie Kim sent a long ball to freshman Sadie Abboud, who dribbled around a defender and then went in on the Dickinson cage before scoring to the left post from a tough angle.
• Hopkins struck early in the second quarter, scoring must 24 seconds in off a penalty corner. Senior Katie McErlean passed down to sophomore Abby Birk, who crossed it. Sophomore Bryn Rolon one-timed the cross from the middle of the circle.
• Freshman Tessa Erickson pushed the Blue Jays' lead to four just 2:55 into the third quarter. She made a nice run down the right side and hit a long cross through the circle. Sophomore Myra Granato collected the pass and sent it back into the circle, where Erickson lifted a shot over the outstretched leg of Meeder.
