#19 Penn State Tops Johns Hopkins, 16-13, in Regular Season Finale

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA – Host and 19th-ranked Penn State beat 11th-ranked Johns Hopkins, 16-13, in both teams' regular season finale Thursday night. The Blue Jays drop to 10-6 overall and 2-4 in the Big Ten while the Nittany Lions improve to 9-6 and 4-2 in the B1G.
 
Hopkins jumped out to a 4-1 lead in the game's opening 11 minutes with four different goal scorers. Alayna Costa opened the scoring when she scored off a give-and-go with Bailey Cheetham at 12:05. Four minutes later, Ava Angello took a feed from Ashley Mackin and scored on a tough shot with defenders draped all over her. Meghan Murray got the Nittany Lions on the board at the 6:02-mark, scoring on a quick shot from the left alley. Abbey Hurlbrink and Maeve Barker then scored back-to-back goals in a 52-second span to put the Blue Jays up 4-1 with 4:12 to go in the quarter.
 
Lauren Saltz and Gretchen Gilmore sandwiched a pair of scores round a Mackin goal and Hopkins led 5-3 after one. Charlotte Smith buried an eight-meter shot at the 12:51-mark and just 40 seconds later Mackin scored off an absolute rip from seven yards out to stake the Blue Jays to a 7-3 lead. Kayla Abernarthy answered for the Nittany Lions at 10:29 to spark an eight-goal run that spanned just over 17 minutes. Kelley MacKinney capped the run at the 8:15-mark in the third to stake PSU to an 11-7 lead.
 
Barker got the Blue Jays on the board when she scored on a shot to the far post off the dodge with 7:33 to go in the third. Taylor Hoss then scored on a left-handed rip while going to the ground to pull the Blue Jays within two. Brooke Hoss answered on the other end for the Nittany Lions, sandwiching two scores around a strike from Saltz and Penn State led 14-9 after three.
 
Cheetham opened the fourth quarter with an eight-meter goal, but MacKinney and Gilmore answered with back-to-back goals and the lead was 16-10 with 10:40 to play. Angello got one back for the Blue Jays, scoring a tough shot in traffic and Maackin followed with a strike on the doorstep at the 4:23-mark to make it 16-12. Campbell Case cut the deficit to three two and a half minutes later, when she stepped down, dropped her stick and blew home a shot from eight yards out and it was 16-13 with 1:47 left. But that would do it as the Blue Jays could get no closer.
 
Mackin led the Blue Jays with three goals and four points and tallied her ninth hat trick of the season. Hoss (1g, 2a) and Barker (2g, 1a) had three points apiece, while Angello also had a multi-goal game. Jordan Carr had four caused turnovers, while Case and Hannah Johnson had two each. Gilmore led the Nittany Lions with a game-high six points (3g, 3a) while MacKinney finished with five (2g, 3a). Abernathy and Saltz also had hat tricks while Abernathy had a game-high 10 draw controls.
 
Hopkins earns the number five seed in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament and will hit the road in the quarterfinals. The Blue Jays opponent will be determined after Sunday's game between Northwestern and Michigan.
 
Notes: Cheetham's two points give her 99 career points as she need just one to become the 48th player in program history to reach the century mark.
