Msoc: Blue Jays edge Devils in Centennial rematch

CARLISLE, Pa. - The Dickinson men's soccer team fell to Johns Hopkins despite only allowing one shot on goal in a rematch of last season's Centennial Conference championship game at Miller Memorial Field on Wednesday night.

First half

• Johns Hopkins needed just 94 seconds to post the first shot of the half as Brendan Listzwan had a chance knocked away by the defense.
• Dickinson's first opportunity of the match came with 7:40 gone when off a corner Josh Dozier lifted one over the goal.
• Three minutes later Jason Dixon tested John Ghanem for the first time, but he was up to the task.
• The Red and White appeared to have the lead in the 16th minute when Maxim Temple jabbed home a loose ball inside the six-yard box. Unfortunately, the first-year was called offside, negating the marker.
• Pressure continued to mount on the Blue Jays defense with opportunities from Connor Harrington, Parker Kiey, Mika Rafidimahavonjy and Jeremy Sallade, forcing two more stops by Ghanem.
• Hopkins found the breakthrough with 33:35 gone when a cross from the right wing by Rohan Aggarwal was stabbed home by Gabriel Pirayou, making it 1-0 at half.

Second half

• The Devils got shots from Dozier, Temple and Rafidimahavonjy in the first 20 minutes of the second, but none challenged Ghanem.
• The visitors had a chance in the 75th, but Juan Bruzzone missed the target.
• Ghanem stopped a try from Henry Schultz in the 78th and another from Kiey in the 83rd.
• Aggarwal had two more shots for the Blue Jays in the 84th and 88th, but neither one was on target enough to require a stop by Gavin Marr.
