Owls Drop Heartbreaker to Johns Hopkins

BALTIMORE, MD – #6 seed Bryn Mawr field hockey traveled to #1 seed Johns Hopkins University earlier Thursday evening to go up against the Blue Jays in the semifinals of the Centennial Conference tournament for the second year in a row. The Owls fell in heartbreaking fashion, suffering a 2-1 loss shortly after a last-ditch effort to tie the game after a fourth period goal and an empty cage.
Highlights:
  • The Owls traveled to Baltimore with a vengeance after a decisive loss at the hands of the Blue Jays in the regular season, 4-0. Despite their energy, they did not manage to muster a significant offensive front in the first half, attempting only one shot.
  • After a second Johns Hopkins goal at the start of the third period, it looked like the Owls fate may be sealed once again, but Bryn Mawr had other plans.
  • Down 2-0 in the third, Bryn Mawr's offense came alive to claim six penalty corners and shots from four different Owls. While no shot connected, the Owls' offensive persistence kept the Hopkins' defense on their toes.
  • Bryn Mawr saw a glimmer of hope emerge in the fourth period due to an late contribution from an unlikely source. After two attempts, the Owls finally connected as midfielder Reba Ervin passed to first-year Lucie Burgess in the box. Burgess turned and fired from eight yards out and scored not only the first Bryn Mawr goal of the game, but her career goal.
  • Without a minute to spare, Bryn Mawr regained focus in search of a second goal to tie the scoreboard and bring the game into overtime. Midfielder Eva Yacura attempted a tying shot after an Ervin penalty corner, but it went wide. At 58:42, Bryn Mawr head coach Victor Brady pulled goalkeeper Charlene Basque in a last-ditch effort to tie the game. With so little time on the clock, the Owls did not see another shot opportunity, and the Blue Jays' one goal lead held for a 2-1 Johns Hopkins win.
Bryn Mawr field hockey's postseason may not have ended here, as their impressive feats against high ranked opponents and a solid season record put the Owls in a strong position for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
