No. 2 Field Hockey drops ranked bout against No. 6 Johns Hopkins

BALTIMORE, Md. – The No. 2 Salisbury University field hockey program fell 3-2 Wednesday night on the road against No. 6 Johns Hopkins University on Homewood Field.

The Sea Gulls (3-1) took an early lead in the first quarter when Caroline Pusey found Alex Kupper, who slotted one past the Blue Jays (3-1) goalie. Seven minutes later, early in the second quarter, Johns Hopkins answered the SU goal, knotting things back up 1-1.

Johns Hopkins outshot Salisbury 9-6 in the first half and also earned 10 penalty corners, while the Sea Gulls only posted two.

Both teams came out firing in the second half. The Gulls regained the lead three minutes into the third quarter off another Kupper goal, this time assisted by McKenna Horner.

The Blue Jays once again answered the call quickly, matching the SU goal just one minute and 20 seconds later. The teams were held scoreless until the final minute of action, when the Hopkins attack squeezed the game-winner through the Salisbury back line.
