BALTIMORE, Md. (March 31)--Johns Hopkins had three players record hat tricks in a 15-4 victory over Richmond in women's lacrosse action on Saturday at Homewood Field. The Spiders fall to 0-7 on the season while the Blue Jays improve to 6-3 overall.
Richmond would take the early lead after sophomore Katie Dolan (Towson, Md./Towson) netted her sixth goal of the season less than a minute into the contest. The Blue Jays would fly away thereafter recording six straight goals. Hopkins junior attacker Erin Wellner scored three of her four goals of the game in the first half. Richmond was held scoreless until the final minute when junior attacker Carrie Aitken (Paxton, Mass./St. Mark's School) found the back of the net. The home team would answer. With just :02 left on the clock to end the half, Jamie Larrimore tallied the first of her three goals of the game to put Hopkins ahead 7-2 at the break.
Aitken recorded her 14th goal of the season and second of the game at the 24:28 mark of the second half to pull the Spiders to within five (8-3). Richmond would keep the Blue Jays off the board until the 13:33 mark when another Hopkins scoring run put the game out of reach. The home team reeled off six consecutive scores in the next 11 minutes of play to pull out ahead, 14-3. The teams traded goals in the final minute of the contest as Hopkins registered the 15-4 victory.
Richmond next returns to action on Wednesday, April 4 when they travel to conference rival American.
