Seniors Maggie Coulson and Emily Maheras scored first-half goals, and the Johns Hopkins women's soccer team held on Sunday night for a 2-0 win against Christopher Newport in an NCAA Division III tournament game at Homewood Field.
The win sends the Blue Jays (16-2-4) to the NCAA round of 16 for the 10th time in program history. Hopkins will face Centennial Conference rival Dickinson in a third-round game. It will be the third meeting between the Blue Jays and Red Devils this season—the teams tied 2-2 during the regular season, and JHU scored a 2-0 win in the conference tournament final a week ago.

Coulson got the scoring started, finding the back of the net from just outside the penalty box in the 24th minute. Seven minutes later, Maheras scored her team-best 16th goal of the season off a feed fro Maddy Rocks.
Johns Hopkins owned an 8-2 edge in shots on goal, and JHU goalkeeper Caitlin Hendricks made a pair of saves. Hendricks has posted four consecutive shutouts—a run that also includes a 2-0 first-round win against Penn State Berks on Friday—and has an active scoreless streak of 440 minutes.
Christopher Newport finished with a record of 16-4-2.
