BALTIMORE, Md. – Manbaj Gill scored early to put No. 2 Johns Hopkins past Gettysburg 1-0 in Centennial Conference (CC) men’s soccer action on Wednesday.

Gill gave the Blue Jays (12-0, 5-0 CC) all they would need to stay perfect by netting a left-footed boot from 25 yards out just under two minutes into the game. The Bullets (6-5-1, 3-1-1 CC) picked up their second loss to a ranked team in the past four games.

Gettysburg goalkeeper Nick Wells-Bundtzen (Williamstown, MA/Mt. Greylock) made a career-high 12 saves in the losing effort. The Bullet defense took on a strong Blue Jay attack that fired 15 first half shots – nine stopped by Wells-Bundtzen - but were able to keep within a one goal margin.

Brad Tabor (Kinnelon, NJ/Kinnelon) and Garrett Bruno (Harrisburg, PA/Susquehanna Twp.) each took two shots but couldn’t convert.

The Blue Jays outshot the Bullets 24-7 and had a 6-3 edge in corner kicks.

Johns Hopkins’ goalkeeper Gary Kane, Jr. made four stops.

Gettysburg returns to action on Saturday against Washington. Game time is 2:30 p.m. The dedication of the Bullets’ new home soccer venue, Clark Field, will follow the game at 4:30.
