BALTIMORE - Johns Hopkins University back Zoe Koven scored the game-winning goal, off a penalty corner with no time left, Wednesday night to hand the No. 8 Blue Jays a 1-0 upset of No. 2 Salisbury University in an in-state showdown. This is the first regular-season loss for the Sea Gulls in 20 games while the victory ties the highest ranked team JHU has ever beaten.

Salisbury (5-1) outshot Johns Hopkins (6-0) in the first half, 6-2, but the Blue Jays held the upper hand in the second half, 7-3. The shot total was even by the end of the game at nine apiece. Johns Hopkins was awarded 12 penalty corners, nine in the second half, as the Blue Jays pressured the Salisbury cage.

SU goalie Claire Davey-Karlson (4-1 this season) made five saves in the loss. Davey-Karlson is now 4-2 all-time in her career as a Sea Gull. She also played in the last regular-season loss on September 5, 2007 against Christopher Newport University.

Junior All-American Lauren Correll led all Sea Gulls with five shots, four on goal. Sophomores Kandice Hancock and Christine Craddock added a shot on goal each.

JHU goalie Sophia Tieu made five saves in the victory. Koven's goal was assisted by Leah Horton. Horton's shot off the corner was deflected by Koven into the Salisbury cage.

This is the first of three big road games for the Sea Gulls who will next travel to Grantham, Pa., to face No. 6 Messiah College on Saturday at 1 p.m.
