BALTIMORE – Eighth-ranked Johns Hopkins (2-0) outscored UMBC, 7-0, in the second quarter and went on to a 15-5 victory over the Retrievers (0-2) at Homewood Field.

Sophomore attackman Jack Andrews (Arnold, Md./St. Mary's) knotted the score at 1-1 at the 2:13 mark with a rocket from nine yards out in the center of the field. After Hopkins scored a man-up goal at the 10:00-minute mark, senior attackman Max Maxwell (Hamburg, N.Y.) made a brilliant play, stripping the ball at midfleld on a Blue Jay attempted clear, picking up the loose ball and feeding freshman Ryan Frawley (Mountain Lakes, N.J.) for the tying goal at the 13:17 mark.
