help Johns Hopkins break open a tight game and goalie Nick Murtha had 15 saves
as the top-ranked Blue Jays defeated No. 11 Loyola, 8-4, in a men's lacrosse
game played before 4,116 at Curley Field Saturday afternoon.
Ford scored a game-high three goals for Johns Hopkins (11-1), including one
with 9:48 left in the game that gave the Blue Jays a 7-3 lead. Kevin Roy scored
an extra-man goal for Loyola (9-4) two minutes later to pull the Greyhounds
within three goals, but Ford scored again in transition after a Loyola turnover
with just under five minutes left to put the game away.
Johns Hopkins led 2-0 after a tight first quarter thanks to goals by Ford early
in the quarter and Kyle Barrie late in the first 15 minutes. Loyola's Jim Fink
pulled the Greyhounds within 2-1 early in the second quarter when his outside
shot beat Murtha, but Bobby Benson then scored on a rebound 29 seconds later to
give the Blue Jays a 3-1 lead. Stephen Brundage's shovel of a Loyola rebound
with 6:31 left in the first half pulled Loyola within 3-2 at halftime.
Ryan Fisher pulled the Greyhounds within 4-3 on a unassisted goal with 9:05
left in the third quarter, but Barrie then scored what might have been the
biggest goal of the game on a dodge from the left side less than three minutes
later.
Fink led the Greyhounds with a goal and an assist. Loyola's four goals were its
fewest in a game since a 6-4 loss to UMBC in April 1987. The Greyhounds
averaged 12 oals in their nine regular-season victories and less than six goals
in their four regular-season losses.
Barrie added two goals for Hopkins, which defeated Loyola for the 37th time in
40 meetings between the teams and for the third straight season. Blue Jay
freshman Kyle Harrison also dominated the faceoff "X," winning 13 of the game's
16 faceoffs while also scoring an early second-half goal.
The loss to the Blue Jays, the likely No. 1 seed in the 2002 NCAA Division I
Men's Lacrosse Championship when those bids are announced Sunday, was Loyola's
second loss to a top-ranked team this season. The Greyhounds' first defeat this
year came at then-top-ranked Syracuse April 6.
