The University of Mary Washington women's soccer team dropped a 2-0 decision to eighth-ranked Johns Hopkins University on Homecoming Saturday afternoon at the Battleground. The Eagles slip to 7-8-1 on the season, heading to conference tournament play.

The start of the game saw both defenses excel, as the game remained scoreless until the 28th minute. The Blue Jays opened the scoring at 27:39, and quickly added another at 32:36.

From there, the Eagles defense regrouped, and held JHU scoreless the rest of the way, successfully defending six second half shots and five second half corner kicks.

In all, Hopkins led in shots, 12-2, as well as corner kicks, 10-0. Eagle 'keeper Savannah Alexander made a pair of saves on the day.

The Eagles will next compete in the Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference Tournament, hosted by UMW next week. Final seedings, opponents, and game times will be announced on Monday.
