The Basics

• Records: JHU (7-21) • MSMU (7-24)
• Location: Annapolis, MD • Lejeune Hall
• The Short Story: The Johns Hopkins water polo team beat Mount St. Mary's, 9-7, on Sunday to finish in seventh place at the 2021 Mid-Atlantic Water Polo Conference (MAWPC) Championship.
 
How it Happened
• Hopkins jumped out to a 3-0 lead with goals from junior Chris Freese, senior Jayden Kunwar and freshman Ian Raley. Jason O'Donnell ended the Blue Jays' run with a goal at 2:26 to get the Mount on the board. Senior Jake Pearson answered as the clock ticked under a minute and Hopkins took a 4-1 lead into the second.
• Mount St. Mary's rallied in the second quarter, outscoring JHU 3-0 to make it a 4-4 game at the half.
• Sophomore Cameron Burns and Kunwar scored back-to-back goals in the first 91 seconds of the third to put Hopkins on top 6-4. Mount St. Mary's responded with goals from Kiahi Horan and O'Donnell to tie the game at six heading into the fourth.
• The Mount picked up where they left off, getting a goal from Zach Fischer to take their first lead of the game with 6:39 to play. The lead was short-lived however, as Kunwar scored exactly 60 seconds later to knot the score at seven. Graduate student Olin Shipstead then scored with 4:33 to play to stake the Blue Jays to an 8-7 lead. Freese would add an insurance goal with 1:24 to play to seal the win for Hopkins.
