Johns Hopkins Defeats Ursinus, 3-2, in Centennial Semifinals

BALTIMORE, MD – The fourth-ranked and top-seeded Johns Hopkins field hockey team beat Ursinus, 3-2, in the Centennial Conference semifinals Thursday night at Homewood Field.
 
The Blue Jays jumped on the Bears early, scoring a pair of goals just 70 seconds apart early in the first quarter. Senior Siena Urbanski passed the ball outside the circle to junior Mikayla Schoff, who took one touch and then passed to graduate student Abby Birk. She dribbled just inside the circle and then blasted a shot into the left side of the cage just 3:49 into the game. Seventy seconds later, JHU capitalized on a corner when Birk hit a shot from the top of circle and junior Gen Mehra tipped it in at the right post.
 
Hopkins pushed its lead to three mid-way through the second quarter, once again cashing in on a penalty corner. Birk again took the hit at the top of the circle and this time it was Urbanski with the redirect at the post. Ursinus got on the board in the final minute of the half, to make it a 3-1 game. Amanda Groeling fired a shot from just inside the circle that was saved by junior Alexis Loder. Mary Lauren Franz collected the rebound and fired a shot inside the far post with just 46.1 seconds remaining.
 
The Bears made it a one-goal game with 6:02 left in the fourth, taking advantage of a penalty corner. Maeve Montgomery took a pass from Jordan Moore, cut around her defender and then banged a shot into the middle of the goal.
 
Hopkins had the advantage in shots (23-10) and corners (13-9). Loder finished with a pair of saves while Jordan Ulsh made seven saves for the Bears.
 
Hopkins advances to the Centennial Conference Championship game for the fifth straight season. JHU will face the winner of the Franklin & Marshall and Bryn Mawr game on Saturday at Homewood Field.
 
Notes: The Blue Jays had their shutout streak snapped at 689:14, the longest streak in program history • JHU had posted 11 consecutive shutouts – a Centennial Conference record • Birk played in her 84th career game, breaking the program record held by Chantal Serle (2006-09) and Leah Horton (2005-08).
