LANCASTER, Pa. -- Second-seeded Johns Hopkins erased a pair of one-goal deficits to score a 3-2 come-from-behind win over top-seeded Franklin & Marshall in the Centennial Conference Championship game at Tylus Field Sunday afternoon.
The win secures the Centennial's automatic bid to the upcoming NCAA Tournament for the Blue Jays (16-2-1), while the Diplomats (16-3) must now wait for the NCAA selection show on Monday at 1:30 p.m. to learn their postseason fate.
The Blue Jays have now won nine Centennial titles, with this being their first since 2009. Of the nine CC titles the Blue Jays have won, six have come since the league went to a tournament-determined champion in 2001. The first three were won when the league champion was determined by the regular season standings.
JHU's Alejandro Maclean was named Tournament MVP after scoring the game-winner in the 70th minute of play.
