Live Blog: Field Hockey @ #6 Johns Hopkins

The Washington College field hockey team heads to Baltimore Saturday for arguably the biggest game it has played since the Centennial Conference First Round Playoff game in 2004. The Shorewomen, off to their best start ever at 9-1 overall, take on sixth-ranked Johns Hopkins, 11-1 overall. Both teams carry 4-0 records in Centennial Conference play into the game. The contest will also feature both the reigning Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week, Hopkins senior attack Emily Miller, and the reigning Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week, Washington senior defender Cora Jo Spare. Spare, junior goalkeeper Elena Nicholoff (who leads the conference in both save percentage and goals-against average), and the rest of the conference's top-ranked defense, will try to shut down Miller, the conference's leading scorer, and the rest of the Blue Jays' high-powered offense.

I will be live-blogging Saturday's game below; it should be active around 15 minutes before game time. You can also follow the game via Johns Hopkins' GameTracker
