 How it Happened
• Rutgers led early after Ashley Campo and Hannah Hollingsworth sandwiched a pair of goals around an Abbey Hurlbrink free position goal. Graduate student Mackenzie Heldberg and senior Shelby Harrison answered with back-to-back goals just 83 seconds apart to stake Hopkins to a 3-2 lead.
• Ashley Moynahan scored on from a tough angle off the dodge to tie the game with 19:20 to play in the half. The Blue Jays responded with four goals in just six minutes to push out to a 7-3 lead. Senior Aurora Cordingley sparked the run when she took a pass from Heldberg, hitched twice and then beat Sophia Caradello to the left post. Harrison converted a free position shot and sophomore Maeve Barker scored consecutive goals, including one in transition after a takeaway by senior Jeanne Kachris.
• Taralyn Naslonski ended the Blue Jays' run when she curled from behind the cage and scored on a sidearm shot at 6:22. Hopkins answered with five straight goals in a run that bridged halftime and gave the home team a 12-4 lead.
• Senior Keegan Barger kick-started the run on a one-timer from Heldberg and just 60 seconds later, Cordingley scored off a nifty feed from graduate student Maggie Schneidereith. Barker closed out the first-half scoring when she scored from in-tight with 2:12 to play in the half.
• Hopkins picked up where it left off in the second. A takeaway by senior Trinity McPherson and some tic-tac-toe passing led to a transition goal by Cordingley at the 26:45-mark. Exactly one minute later, Barker scored on the doorstep after Heldberg intercepted a Rutgers' clearing pass and JHU led 12-4.
• The Scarlet Knights ended the run with back-to-back goals by Naslonski and Spilis to pull within six with 23:54 to go. Schneidereith and freshman Eliza Bowman answered with two for the Blue Jays and just like that the led was back to eight. Rutgers wasn't going away however as the visitors used a 4-1 run to trim the deficit to five with 8:42 on the clock.
• The Blue Jays took over from there. The defense held the Knights to five shots, no goals and forced a pair of turnovers in the final eight minutes. On the other end of the field, Cordingley scored twice to push their lead to seven.
