• Records: JHU (12-5-2) • JCU (14-4-4)
• Location: University Heights, OH • Don Shula Stadium
• The Short Story: At a snow-covered Don Shula Stadium, host John Carroll scored a pair of goals in a six-minute span in the second half to defeat the 25^th-ranked John Hopkins men's soccer team in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
 
How it Happened
• Hopkins got on the board in the 20^th minute after the Blue Jays drew a penalty kick. Connor Robinson made a kick-save on senior Liam Creedon's attempt, but Creedon ran onto the rebound and buried a shot into the right side of the goal.
• The Blue Streaks turned up the pressure after that, getting 13 shots off in the final 25 minutes of the first half. Graduate student Xander LeFevre turned away all five shots that got through to him during that stretch.
• John Carroll drew level in the 65^th minute when Benjamin Hryszko headed home a cross from James Hoover. Just six minutes later, on a counter attack, Hryszko drew a pair of defenders and then centered the ball to Jack Foht. He one-timed a right-footed shot past a diving LeFevre and into the left side of the goal.
• Less than two minutes later, graduate student Nate CHarendoff had a great look at the equalizer but Robinson tipped it over the crossbar. Senior Jason Werenski then missed just wide on a shot off the ensuing corner kick.
 
What it Means
• Hopkins ends its season at 12-5-2 after making its 10^th straight appearance in the NCAA Second Round.
