BALTIMORE, MD – Senior Siena Urbanski scored a career-high two goals to lead the second-ranked Johns Hopkins field hockey team to a 3-0 win at eighth-ranked Messiah Saturday afternoon.
 
Hopkins got on the board just 5:35 into the game, scoring the first of its three goals on penalty corners. Graduate student Abby Birk played the ball down low to senior Siena Urbanski on the left post, and she beat Catie Brubaker with a one-timer.
 
Late in the second quarter, the Blue Jays needed just over three minutes and seven seconds to turn a one-goal game into a three-goal game. Off another JHU corner, senior Anna Scott fired a hard shot from just inside the circle and Urbanski redirected it in the cage for her second of the afternoon. Birk then scored what turned out to be the final goal of the game with 2:50 to go in the half. A give-and-go between Birk and freshman Megan Chang ended with Birk slotting home a low shot from the middle of the circle.
 
Hopkins returns to Homewood Field on Wednesday, September 7 to take on York. The non-conference contest is slated for a 5:00 pm start.
 
Notes: Birk reached 100 career points with her second-quarter goal • She is just the third player in program history to reach the century mark and the first since Emily Miller in 2008 • Hopkins has won four straight over Messiah and is now 4-3 in the series with the Falcons • This was the Blue Jays' first-ever shutout in the series.
