The St. Mary’s College of Maryland men’s soccer team dropped their second straight game Wednesday night. The Seahawks finished the game at Johns Hopkins University with a 2-0 loss, following a first-half thriller that went off without a hitch.

JHU fired nine first-half shots, with sophomore Jordon Eckman turning away five to preserve a halftime draw.
It took less than seven minutes into the second half for the Blue Jays to break through, as Francis Meyer put one past Eckman for a 1-0 lead at 51:31. Johns Hopkins continued to pepper the Seahawk defense with shots, doubling its lead in the 78th minute when Aidan Dunphy found Jason Pan.
St. Mary’s College earned a 4-3 edge in corner kicks, while Hopkins ended the game with a 17-8 shot advantage.
St. Mary’s College will now face a tough road at Bridgewater in Virginia, as they look to bounce back from a two-year run of in and out of the playoffs.
