Baltimore, MD - Even without the team's leading scorer, Diarra Oden, Johns Hopkins (3-2, 1-0) opened conference play in dominating fashion, defeating Bryn Mawr (0-3, 0-1) College 76-36 on Saturday afternoon. Nine different Blue Jays scored in the victory, with three scoring at least 10 points.

It was a contest in which the Blue Jays never trailed, as they ripped off an 8-0 run in the first two minutes and five seconds of the game and never relinquished the lead. It took just over six minutes for the Blue Jays to grab their first double-digit lead, as Emily Howie scored off a Kenz Wilkinson feed to make it 15-4. They retook an 11-point lead late in the first after an Elise Moore layup and never let the lead shrink back below 10. 

The Owls got a bucket from Meagan Murray-Brace in the early portion of the second quarter, making it 23-10 , before Hopkins ripped off a 9-0 run, extending the lead to 32-10 with just over five minutes remaining in the half. An 8-2 run to end the half for the Blue Jays made it a 25-point lead at 40-15. Seven Blue Jays scored in the first half, led by Hoyd's 10 and Howie's eight. The defense was swarming for JHU, forcing 14 first-half turnovers from the Owls. 

The third quarter was much of the same for the Blue Jays. Maggie Wodicka hit a three 18 seconds into the half, sparking a 10-2 run in the first three minutes of the half, pushing the lead all the way up to 33 for JHU. The Owls cut the Blue Jay lead down to 29 in the fourth quarter, but once again Hopkins went on a run, this time a 14-1 run to give JHU its largest lead of the game, 42.
