In what has become a typical occurence this season, Hopkins women's soccer cruised by the second-place Gettysburg Bullets Sunday afternoon, 6-1. With the win, the Lady Jays clinched the first-seed in the Centennial Conference tournament and will host the tournament this weekend.
In addition, the Jays completed their journey for the first undefeated regular season in program history and enter the playoffs with a spotless 17-0 record. They are currently ranked fourth in the nation.
Not everything was as usual on Sunday, however. In their final regular season match of their careers, the team's eight seniors were honored, among them forward Paulina Goodman, the Centennial Conference's offensive player of the week. Goodman led the charge with her first hat trick of her career to give her ten on the year.
Also adding goals were senior midfielder Erica Suter, tied as the team's leading scorer with 18, senior midfielder Ava Scheininger, and sophomore Pam Vranis.
The Jays will start postseason play Saturday at 4:30 PM against Haverford on Homewood Field.
