BRIDGEWATER, Va. – The Bridgewater College field hockey team faced its second nationally-ranked opponent in as many games, losing 6-0 to #3 Johns Hopkins on Jopson Field.

Brooke Hamm made 18 saves in the cage for the Eagles, but the play of the game for Bridgewater may have come on the remaining save recorded by the team.

Junior defender Kelli Mullen made an outstanding defensive save early in the third quarter. Hamm stopped the initial shot from Tessa Erickson but was down and out for the rebound. Siena Urbanski lifted the shot but Mullen managed to block it with her stick.

Just before that chance, Hamm had made a great save on Abby Birk off a penalty corner, and then recorded two straight stops on another corner seconds later.

Bridgewater kept play even for most of the opening quarter against a Blue Jays side that has made consecutive Final Fours. Johns Hopkins broke through in the final two minutes when Hamm made another stop on Birk but two Blue Jay players were waiting for the rebound.

Hopkins scored again just 30 seconds into the second corner on a slap shot from Anna Scott off a penalty corner. Scott had another shot from the same area off a corner minutes later but ripped it off the post.

Bridgewater (0-2) will be home again on Wednesday, vs. Meredith at 5 p.m.
