BALTIMORE, MD –
Ava Angello and
Taylor Hoss combined for 10 points to lead Johns Hopkins to a 13-11 win over 13
th-ranked Stony Brook Sunday morning at Homewood Field. The Blue Jays improve to 7-1 on the season while the Seawolves fall to 4-2.
Isabella Caporuscio put Stony Brook on the board just 58 seconds in, but Hopkins answered with five straight. Angello got things going with a transition goal just 38 seconds later to spark that five-goal run. Hoss then found a cutting
MK Lescault and she put the Blue Jays on top at 12:45. Fifty-two seconds later, it was
Lacey Downey getting free in the slot for the quick score and just like that it was 3-1. Downey then returned the favor when she hit a cutting
Sienna Chirieleison at 6:06.
Zoey Smith capped the run with an eight-meter with 1:49 to play.
Stony Brook had the final say of the opening quarter with a Mirabella Altebrando to Olivia Schorr connection at the 1:03-mark. That sparked a five-goal run for the Seawolves as they grabbed a 6-5 lead with 9:52 on the clock. Five players scored during the run that spanned just over six minutes. Hopkins halted the run with a
McKenzey Craig goal from goal line extended to knot the score at six with 4:08 to go. Hayden Eisfeld answered just two minutes later and Stony Brook to a 7-6 lead into the half.
Hopkins came out of the break firing, outscoring the visitors, 5-0 in the opening eight minutes.
Laurel Gonzalez opened the scoring off an Angello helper just 39 seconds in. After an own goal gave the Blue Jays the lead,
Paige Willard went high-to-low on the doorstep and it was 9-7. Angello then went behind-the-back to push the lead to three with 11:33 on the clock. Downey then punctuated the run, scoring off a give-and-go with Hoss to put JHU up 11-7.
Katie Walsh scored just 47 seconds into the fourth to end a nearly 18-minute scoring drought for the Seawolves. The Blue Jays answered however with goals from Chirieleison and Angello just 46 seconds apart to stake Hopkins to a 13-8 lead. Stony Brook wasn't done yet, however. Caporuscio converted an eight meter at the 11:15-mark and four and a half minutes later, Keira Martin scored off an Emma Pearce pass, and it was 13-10. The score would stand for more than five minutes before Caporuscio scored to pull the Seawolves within two. But that's as close as they would get.
Angello finished with three goals and two assists and now ranks third in school Division I history with 253 career points. Hoss matched her career-high five assists and notched her 100
th career point with her helper on Lescault's first quarter score. Downey and Chirieleison finished with three points (2g, 1a) each. Gonzalez had a game-high seven draws to go with her score while
