Hopkins too much for Hofstra in 1st round
Source: Baltimore Sun (Original Article)
Senior midfielder Paul Rabil fueled a 6-0 run that helped Johns Hopkins break a 2-2 tie early in the second quarter and cruise to a 10-4 win against visiting Hofstra in the first round of the NCAA tournament at Homewood Field today.
The fifth-seeded Blue Jays (9-5) extended their winning streak to six and will meet Navy in a quarterfinal on Saturday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis. The Midshipmen upended fourth-seeded North Carolina, 8-7, on Saturday night.
With the score tied at 2 with 8:47 left in the second quarter, Rabil — whose four goals gave him 101 for his career to pass Dave Huntley for most by a Blue Jays midfielder — scored back-to-back goals, ripping identical shots from at least 15 yards.
Rabil had not scored a point in the teams’ first meeting on March 8 when the ANZ Credit Cards Pride upset the defending national champions, 8-7, in overtime.
