After a Downey step-down-and-score at 7:49, the Flames scored four times in just three minutes and nine seconds to knot the score at six.
• Downey halted the Flames' run with 2:43 to play in the second when she scored into an open net in transition. Hopkins started the third the same way it started the first, with three straight goals, as the Jays pushed out to a 10-6 lead. Liberty battled back, getting goals from Cami Merkel and Olivia Young just 21 seconds apart to the cut the lead to two.
• Angello and Mackin sandwiched goals around a Lehman score for the Flames and the Blue Jays led 12-9 after three. Kendall Coss cut that deficit to two when she scored 2:34 into the fourth quarter. Kielbasa then ignited that game-ending 9-1 with her goal at 11:02.

• In the regular season finale at Maryland, Angello eclipsed the 50-goal mark to become the first player with consecutive 50-goal seasons since Mary Key did so for four consecutive seasons (2004-2007). She is just the sixth player all-time in Johns Hopkins' history to do so.
• Angello was the first Blue Jay with consecutive 40-goal seasons since Dene DiMartino accomplished the feat in three consecutive seasons from 2014-2016. Ashley Mackin joined Angello with consecutive 40-goal seasons in the win at James Madison. Mackin scored 48 goals in 2024 and already has 61 this season.

  • Hopkins entered the season looking to replace 86 percent of its draw controls from 2024. The Blue Jays seem to have found the answer in freshman draw specialist Laurel Gonzalez. In the season opener, she outdrew Florida all on her own, as she controlled 12 draws to the Gators' seven. As a team, Hopkins outdrew Florida, 15-7. At the time, Gonzalez's 12 draws broke the program record for draws by a freshman and were four shy of the overall single-game record.
• Gonzalez has posted six double-digit draw performances this season. After a pair of 12-draw outings, she broke her own record with 13 draws at Stony Brook.
