Five score as men's soccer wins finale
This was Hopkins' most productive night in over two years. The five goals are the most in a single-game since a 5-0 win over Ursinus on October 12, 2007. It is also the most goals the Blue Jays have scored against the Shoremen since a 7-0 win on October 9, 2002. Hopkins held a 23-6 advantage in shots and a 6-5 edge in corner kicks in the game.
Regarding preparation for the upcoming Centennial Conference Tournament, Balfour commented, "Hopefully [we get] a lot of rest. In reality, I think it is important for us to maintain our composure and to remember to have fun while we play. If people are having fun, that means we are playing well and at our best. Sometimes becoming too excited might cause people to forget about the real reason behind playing soccer which is fun."
The Blue Jays head into next week's conference playoffs with a 13-3-2 overall record and a 6-2-1 mark in conference play. The Shoremen conclude their season at 3-13-1 and 1-7-1.
Hopkins returns to action next weekend at the Centennial Conference Tournament. The Blue Jays, seeded third, will take on second-seeded Swarthmore at host Muhlenberg in the semifinals. Hopkins, who is tied with Dickinson in the conference standings with 19 points, earned the number three seed by virtue of its win over Dickinson earlier this season.
