Centennial Notebook

Seven-time defending champion Johns Hopkins clinched a playoff berth with a 4-0 blanking of Bryn Mawr. Sophomore Hannah Kronick (Westfield, NJ / Westfield) scored her league-leading 19th goal of the season, while Sydney Teng (Fairport, NY / Fairport) had two goals and an assist.

Meg Boyer (Ann Arbor, MI / Huron) had a pair of goals, including the game-winner, as Haverford defeated McDaniel, 5-2. Eleven of her 19 career goals have won matches for the Fords. Haverford has 11 wins on the season, reaching double digits for the fourth consecutive season – a first for the program.

Dickinson kept its playoff hopes alive with a 2-1 come-from-behind win at Ursinus, as Ashley Fields (Far Hills, NJ / Ridge) both both the game-tying and winning goals. The Red Devils have surrendered just nine goals in 16 matches this season.

Washington College sophomore Rebecca Potochney (Newark, DE / Newark) recorded her fourth solo shutout of the season – a school record – in the scoreless draw at Franklin & Marshall. Classmate Suzanne Patinella (Fallston, MD / Maryvale Prep) set the school record for assists in a season (6) in the win over Ursinus. It was the Shorewomen's first win against the Bears since 2002.
