NEW LONDON, CT – Johns Hopkins got back in the win column Sunday morning with a 20-9 win over host Conn College. The Blue Jays improve to 6-7 on the season while the Camels fall to 4-3.
 
The opening four minutes were back-and-forth, and the teams were tied at two after a Jesse Ellis goal. Senior Ian Raley and sophomore Max Blecher scored twice in the final two minutes to put the Blue Jays up 4-2 after one. Keegan Kosiba and Ellis sandwiched goals around a score from Raley to open the second and it was 5-4 Hopkins.
 
Blecher and freshman Patrick Rooney answered with a pair of goals in a 50-second span to push the lead to three. Kosiba had the final say of the half however, scoring a six-on-five goal for the Camels to make it a 7-5 game at the break.
 
Hopkins came out of the half with three unanswered goals to push out to a 10-5 lead just over two minutes in. Jeffrey Harrington halted the run with a score at the 4:21-mark, but Raley answered just 19 seconds later to spark an 8-1 run. That run spanned nearly eight minutes and saw the Blue Jays' lead balloon to 18-7. Seven different players scored during the run for JHU, led by senior Mark Poisler with two. The teams traded scores over the final four minutes and 11 seconds and Hopkins won 20-9.
 
Raley led the Blue Jays with four goals while Rooney handed out five assists to go with a score. Freshman Phillip Long added four points (2g, 2a) and sophomore Alec Baker and freshman Andrew Lee had three points (1g, 2a) each. Sophomore Chris Poisler finished with six saves in the win.
