Box Score
BALTIMORE, Md. – Jane O'Conner connected on a header in the 96th minute to lift Johns Hopkins University to a 1-0 victory over visiting Gettysburg College in Centennial Conference action on Saturday afternoon. The loss spoiled a strong outing from Bullet keeper
Danielle St. Pierre (Londonderry, N.H./Trinity), who made 10 saves.
Johns Hopkins (8-4-1, 4-1 CC) couldn't find the back of the net during regulation despite firing off 19 shots. Gettysburg's (3-9, 2-3 CC) defense held firm behind St. Pierre as the junior goalie made five stops in each half.
The Bullets had a handful of opportunities to crack the scoreboard in the second half as
Shaina Wright (Gettysburg, Pa./Gettysburg) took a pair of shots at the goal. Both attempts failed, however, finding the arms of Hopkins' keeper Karen Guszkowski. Gettysburg had another pair of potential goals thwarted by Guszkowski in the latter stages of the period, the first coming off the foot of first-year
Jordann Smak (Mechanicsburg, Pa./Mechanicsburg) and the second off the head of fellow classmate
Lauren Walsh (Ridgefield, Conn./Ridgefield).
The Blue Jays pressed the action early in the extra session, taking two shots in the first four minutes. After getting a corner kick at 94:56, Chrissy McCurdy controlled the ball and lifted it to the middle of the goal where O'Conner completed the connection.
Next up for the Bullets is a non-conference contest at York College on Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 4 p.m.
