WASHINGTON, D.C. — Johns Hopkins sophomore Ryan Ford (Almaden, CA/Leland) notched a game-high seven goals to lead JHU water polo to an 11-7 victory over George Washington on Wednesday, September 27. It was the second win for the Blue Jays over GWU in the span of a week, and improved Hopkins' record to 4-9 overall.

The Colonials took an early 1-0 lead in the first period, but JHU responded with four unanswered goals, and never trailed for the rest of the contest. Hopkins senior Mark McCoy (Danville, CA/San Ramon) tallied two goals, while senior All-American Zaman Mirzadeh (Davis, CA/Davis) and freshman Geoffrey McCann (Menlo Park, CA/St. Francis) each registered one goal.
