Junior Kyle Marr scored with 14 seconds remaining, lifting the sixth-ranked Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse team to a 13-12 win against No. 9 Rutgers on Sunday night in Piscataway, New Jersey.
Marr took a pas from senior Shack Stanwick about seven yards in front of the net, and with just one second on the shot clock fired a shot to the top corner of the net while falling to the ground. The goal gave the Blue Jays (7-2) their sixth consecutive win. This was the Big Ten Conference opener for both teams.
