BALTIMORE, MD – The Johns Hopkins and Gettysburg women's soccer teams entered Wednesday night's game with matching three-game winning streaks, all of which had come by shutout.  One goal figured to be all it would take for one of the sides to walk out of Homewood Field with a win.
 
As it turned out, one goal would have done it.  For good measure, 22^nd-ranked Johns Hopkins added a second strike to its first and it was the Blue Jays who walked away with a hard-fought 2-0 victory.
 
After just over 60 minutes of scoreless action, during which the Blue Jays (8-1-2, 4-1 Centennial) built a decided advantage in shots, it was a quick-strike counter that led to the first goal of the game.
 
Playing down the wing to the right of Gettysburg goalkeeper Anna Kavountzis, freshman Addi Dauler floated a pass to senior Caroline Marcus in the middle of the field and immediately took a return feed from Marcus as she pressed forward at the edge of the box.  Dauler quickly side-stepped a defender and floated a shot inside the far post for her fourth goal of the year.

The one-goal lead held for just over 13 minutes before junior Kendall Malmros threaded a pass to freshman Katie Derby, whose diagonal run landed her at the top of the box to Kavountzis's left.  Derby collected the feed in-stride and curled a beautiful ball inside the far post to match Dauler with her fourth goal of the season.
 
Gettysburg (5-4-2, 1-2-1 CC), which had seen Kristine Squeglia's offering from distance sail just over the bar six minutes after Dauler's goal, had one golden chance late, but Johns Hopkins goalie Ella Kruntchev was equal to Camryn Rogers' laser that appeared ticketed for the back of the net with just under seven minutes remaining and the Bullets never seriously threatened down the stretch.

The Blue Jays had collected all eight of the game's first-half shots, but couldn't solve Kavountzis, who turned away all five that were on frame. Her two best saves in the opening 45 minutes came on Hopkins' first and last shots of the half.  She came off her line to smother a Natalie Kokenda shot on a partial breakaway, then dove low to her right with 10 seconds remaining in the first half to stop a Lauren Fang shot from 22 yards.
 
Just under 16 minutes dripped off the second-half clock before Dauler broke the ice and 12 more before Derby's insurance goal iced the Blue Jays' fourth straight win and fourth straight shutout.  The win inches head coach Dan Weiler closer to his 100^th career win at Johns Hopkins, as he now stands at 98-14-12 since taking over in 2020 (his first true season at Homewood coming in 2021 due to the COVID pandemic). 
 
There's more to the significance of Weiler reaching 100 wins at Johns Hopkins, but we'll wait to he gets to 99 before shedding light on that.
 
Johns Hopkins will return to action on Saturday, October 10 when the Blue Jays travel to Washington College for a Centennial Conference game against the Shorewomen.
