BALTIMORE, MD – The ninth-ranked Johns Hopkins women's soccer team tied a school record with seven first-half goals and tacked on four more after halftime as the Blue Jays cruised to an 11-0 victory over visiting Roanoke at Homewood Field Sunday afternoon.  The win improves Hopkins' record to 2-0 on the young season, while the Maroons slip to 1-1.
 
After opening the scoring just 4:21 into the season-opener, graduate student Breukelen Woodard needed just 3:15 on Sunday to give the Blue Jays a lead they would never relinquish as she punched home a cross from Rachel Jackson to give Hopkins a quick 1-0 lead.
 
The one-goal lead ballooned to four in a span of less than six minutes as Sophia Stone buried a free kick in the 11^th minute, Jackson converted on a breakaway and Katie Fillian added the first of her Hopkins career before the game was 17 minutes old.
 
For just the third time in school history the Blue Jays had a seven-spot up at the half as Maria Romo-Nichols fired home the first of her career in the 24^th minute and Rebecca Rosen struck twice in a span of just over two minutes to push the lead to 7-0.
 
Callie Jones, Jackson, Nichols and Megha Salvi all scored in the first 22 minutes of the second half to account for the final scoring.  Jones was on the back end of a free kick that started with Kendall Dandridge playing a ball to Stone, who quickly found Jones in front, while Romo-Nichols' second of the day came on a penalty kick after she was taken down in the box.
 
Roanoke didn't register a shot in the first half, but generated eight in the second half.   The Maroons' best chance came on free kick from Makayla Metzler in the 57^th minute that she whistled just wide of the far top corner from 30 yards out.
 
The Blue Jays held a 26-8 advantage in shots and a 5-2 margin in corners.
 
Johns Hopkins will return to action on Wednesday, September 7 when the Blue Jays travel to Messiah for a key early-season non-conference match against the 17^th-ranked Falcons (2-0).
