Visiting Johns Hopkins scored goals to open both the first and second half on its way to defeating the No. 21 Swarthmore College men's soccer team (10-5, 4-3) by the score of 2-0 on a Homecoming Saturday night at Clothier Field. Taylor Woodrum scored off a corner kick in the sixth minute for the Blue Jays (8-4-1, 5-1-1) to silence the crowd of more than 600 on hand for Garnet Homecoming. Then in the opening seconds of the second half, the Blue Jays' Sean Coleman scored on a blast from the top left corner of the box to give Hopkins the commanding 2-0 lead. With the win, the Blue Jays now sit in the driver's seat for the Centennial Conference's regular season championship and for the right to host the upcoming Centennial playoffs.
Muhlenberg 2, Gettysburg 1
When it comes to putting in direct kicks, Nate Squire has been lights out this year. The junior midfielder scored in the 20th minute to break a 1-1 tie, and his goal stood up as the winner as the Muhlenberg men's soccer team posted an important 2-1 victory at Gettysburg in a game delayed 40 minutes at the start due to a power outage. The result kept the Mules (9-4-1, 5-2) in a second-place tie, one point out of first place, with a week to go in the Centennial Conference regular season. Johns Hopkins (5-1-1) beat Swarthmore (4-3) to retain its hold on first place, while Dickinson (5-2) remained in a tie with Muhlenberg by defeating Ursinus.
