BALTIMORE, M.D. – Closing out its spring break trip, the Boston University women's lacrosse team suffered an 18-11 setback at the hands of Johns Hopkins Wednesday afternoon at Homewood Field.

How It Happened

Johns Hopkins delivered the opening punch just over a minute into the game, though Christine Laible settled in net, halting three straight shots to keep the Blue Jays attack at bay.
Kailey Conry got the offense going as she spotted Avery Donahoe from behind the cage, who one-timed an equalizer with 21:31 left in the first.
The Blue Jays broke through BU's defense to go back on top, but Bridget McCarthy knotted the score once again, 2-2, on the ensuing possession.
Johns Hopkins scored back-to-back goals until BU responded nine seconds later as Kaitlin Belval corralled the ensuing draw and found Molly Kern, who put the Terriers back within one with 11:05 left before halftime.
The momentum shifted back to the Blue Jays as they reeled off a 4-0 run over a six-minute span.
Donahoe put the Terriers back on the board in the final minute of the half as the score stood at 8-4.
Following a 2-0 run by Johns Hopkins to start the second frame, Lexi Lewis slotted home a free position shot to put the game within five with 25:44 left in the game.
Emily Vervlied stopped another 2-0 Blue Jays before Caroline English sparked the attack with two straight scores to make it a 17-8 game.
Conry and Donahoe closed out the scoring for the Terriers, though Johns Hopkins held a 10-7 scoring advantage in the second frame to improve to 5-0 on its home turf.
