The Basics 
• Score: #2 Johns Hopkins-1 • Bryn Mawr-0
• Records: #2 Johns Hopkins (17-0, 10-0 CC) • Bryn Mawr (8-8, 3-7 CC)
• Location: Baltimore, MD • Homewood Field
• The Short Story: The second-ranked Johns Hopkins field hockey team got an early goal from senior Maddie Brown-Scherer and the Blue Jay defense held visiting Bryn Mawr to just three shots as the Blue Jays picked up a 1-0 win at Homewood Field Saturday evening.

How it Happened
• The Blue Jays would get all the scoring they would need on their first shot of the game at the 3:32 mark of the opening quarter.  Senior Abby Birk found Brown-Scherer in the circle and Brown-Scherer collected the feed and turned and fired one past Bryn Mawr goalie Maggie Titus to give the Blue Jays the early 1-0 lead.

• Brown-Scherer's goal would stand as the lone tally in the game as Titus would turn away nine Blue Jay offerings.  She made eight of her nine saves in the second and third quarters combined as Hopkins collected 10 of its 16 shots in the game in the middle two periods, but couldn't create more separation than the one goal.

• On the other end, the Blue Jay defense kept the Owls away from Blue jay goalies Alexis Loder and Morgan Seward, who were forced to make just two saves – both by Seward in the second quarter – as Hopkins posted its sixth consecutive shutout.

What it Means
• The Blue Jays polished off the first undefeated regular season in school history with tonight's win.

• Johns Hopkins had already secured the top seed in the upcoming Centennial Conference Tournament and will play in the winner of the first-round game between Haverford and Swarthmore in the semifinals on Friday, November 5 at Homewood Field.

• The Blue Jay seniors were honored prior to the game as this was their last regular season game at Homewood Field.  Johns Hopkins improved to 55-6 overall and 29-1 in the Centennial Conference during their career with tonight's win.

• Tonight's win was the 28^th straight for Johns Hopkins at Homewood Field.

Inside the Box Score
• Birk's assist on Brown-Scherer's goal was the school-record 32^nd of her career.  She had been tied with Leah Horton '08 atop the program's career assist list with 31 helpers before her first-quarter assist tonight.

• Brown-Scherer's goal was the 28^th of her career, which moves her into sole possession of ninth place in school history.  She needs two goals to become the second player in school history with 30 goals and 20 assists.
