Ohio State Sweeps Johns Hopkins
Ohio State used a three goal run to break open a tied game midway through the third quarter and prevailed 14-12 over Johns Hopkins in the second meeting this season between the two program.
Jackson Reid had six points on four goals and two assists to lead the Buckeyes. Jack Myers (3g, 2a) and Ryan Terefenko (3g, 8gb) also made significant contributions.
The Blue Jays, who staged a five goal run spanning between the second and third quarters to erase a 10-5 deficit that the Buckeyes built with a 6-0 run, twice pulled to within two in the fourth quarter after goals from fifth-year senior Cole Williams. Ohio State prevented them from getting any closer.
Williams led Johns Hopkins with 3 goals and 2 assists and freshman Brendan Grimes registered his first career collegiate hat trick in the loss. Joey Epstein was in the starting lineup at attack for the Blue Jays a week after Peter Milliman’s decision to remove him from it drew scrutiny. Epstein was held scoreless on four shots.
Georgetown Fourth Quarter Rally Puts Away Marquette
Devon Cowan scored six goals for the Golden Eagles, but it was not enough to pull off the upset against No. 11 Georgetown. The Hoyas outscored Marquette 3-0 in the fourth quarter to walk away with a 10-8 win. Marquette entered the final period ahead 8-7 after a three goal run, but TJ Haley assisted Dylan Watson for his fourth goal of the afternoon with 13:37 to play in the fourth.
Fifth-year senior attackman and offensive leader Jake Carraway (4g, 1a) sealed the win with the final two goals of the game.
Drexel Downs No. 13 Delaware
The Dragons handed the Blue Hens their first loss since February 17. Eight players scored for Drexel, including senior attackman Aidan Coll who led the team with five goals and one assist.
Coll’s second goal of the afternoon broke a 4-4 tie and kicked off a 4-0 run that Drexel used to take control of the game. The Dragons outscored Delaware 5-1 in the second quarter and led 8-4 at halftime. Charlie Kitchen had three goals and two assists in the loss.

No. 2 Maryland overcame 5-0 deficit early against Michigan with a 16-0 run (that’s not a typo) to take down the Wolverines 18-12. Jared Bernhardt and Anthony Demaio each tallied seven points on five goals and two assists, respectively, to help the Terrapins clinched at least a share of the Big 10 title. It’s their fifth conference title in program history

Rutgers left no doubt who the second best team in the Big 10 is with a 22-10 win over Penn State (2-6). The Scarlet Knight, who improved to 6-2, had 13 different players registered at least one point. Connor Kirst had seven points on four goals and three assists and his linemates Kieran Mullins and Adam Charalambides each scored five goals. Mac O’Keefe netted two goals in the loss and in doing so is one goal shy of matching Justin Guterding’s NCAA career goals record (212).

Towson (4-6) used a 6-0 run that started with less than a minutes remaining in the third quarter to top Fairfield 12-11 and secure the Tigers’ first CAA win of the season. Andrew Milani (2g, 1a) scored the eventual game winner on a behind the back shot off an assist from James Avanzato with 5:50 to play in the fourth. “I felt like I was going to have a heart attack,” Milani said of the final few minutes. “My heart was pounding. We’ve been in close games and didn’t close [them] out, so you’re just hoping that this one we close out.”
