BALTIMORE, MD – Brian Johansson had his second straight 20-point game to lead Johns Hopkins to a 78-67 win over Mary Washington in non-conference action Monday. The Blue Jays win their sixth straight as they improve to 11-6, while the Eagles fall to 7-11.
 
The first eight-and-a-half minutes were a back-and-forth affair as the visiting Eagles held a 16-14 lead. John Windley then drained a three-pointer in the corner to spark an 8-2 run. Johansson capped the run with his own three-pointer, one of his four in the first half, to put the Blue Jays up 22-18. Mary Washington answered with a 7-2 spurt, to grab a 25-24 lead with 6:09 to play in the half.
 
The Blue Jays used a quick 7-0 run, in a span of just 55 seconds, to go up 31-25 at the 5:14-mark. Kye Robinson scored seven points to fuel a 10-3 Eagles' run as the visitors grabbed a 35-34 lead. Johansson halted the run with a three-pointer and Wyatt Eglinton Manner then sandwiched a pair of layups around a Zack Blue trey, and JHU took a 41-38 lead into the half.
 
The second half started like the first, the teams traded buckets over the first five-and-a-half minutes, and Hopkins led 52-48. Jeb Williams made a driving layup to kick-start a 9-0 Blue Jay run, capped by a Tanti Felli put-back, to push their lead to 13 with 11:45 to play. The Eagles responded with an 11-7 spurt to trim the deficit back to single digits at 68-59 with 6:34 on the clock.
 
Johansson and Williams sandwiched layups around a Jay Randall bucket and the lead was 11 with 3:02 to play. The teams swapped scores over the final three minutes and Hopkins secured the 78-67 win.
