• The Short Story: The 21st-ranked Johns Hopkins men's soccer team got a goal in each half as the Blue Jays blanked the host York Spartans Wednesday night.
How it Happened
• Hopkins had three great chances late in the first half before finally breaking through in the 41st minute. Sophomore Jonathon Brown had a hard shot saved by the goalie in the 34th minute. Junior Liam Moylan then hit the post in the 39th minute and then just missed wide on the ricochet.

• Less than two minutes later, the Blue Jays doubled their lead. Junior Connor Jacobs blasted a shot on goal that Billy Bridegum stopped, but the ball kicked out to Moylan, who buried the rebound in the 50th minute.
• Amige just missed again in the 60th minute when off a corner, he flicked a shot across the mouth of the goal but it just went wide. Less than a minute later, Brown blasted a shot from 28 yards out that Bridegum just got his hands on to knock over the cross bar.
