BALTIMORE, MD - The One And Only

Head coach Leo Weil notched his 196th career victory at Hopkins. Weil is the only head coach of the women's soccer program at Hopkins, starting in 1992 when the team rose from club to varsity status. He has led the Blue Jays to three consecutive Centennial Conference titles and six overall.

First Timers

Freshman Ava Scheininger (Westfield, NJ/Morristown-Beard) scored her first career goal against Washington on September 20. Scheininger knocked a penalty kick past the Washington goalkeeper to put the Blue Jays up 4-0 in the second half on Saturday. The goal gave the rookie the first points of her career.

Freshmen Alison Smith (Berwyn, IL/St. Ignatius Prep) and Paulina Goodman (Sherman Oaks, CA/Van Nuys) both earned their first career start against Washington. Each has seen action in all seven contests this season.

Rookie Kristen Redsun (Trabuco Canyon, CA/Santa Margarita) played her first complete half of collegiate soccer against Washington on Saturday. Redsun was not forced to make a save in the second half with the Shorewomen.

Assist To Goal

Two Blue Jays earned at least three points in Saturday's win over Washington. Senior Molly Steele (Daleville, VA/ North Cross) and Allie Zazzali (Scotch Plains, NJ/Scotch Plains-Fanwood) each recorded an assists before scoring a goal against the Shorewomen.

Steele fed junior Caitlin Moore (Landisville, PA/Hempfield) with a pass less than nine minutes into the game to produce Hopkins' first goal of the game. The senior scored her own goal off a Zazzali pass 10 minutes later. Steele now has five points this season.

Zazzali scored her second goal of the season shortly after the 28-minute mark, taking the feed from Steele and junior Natalie Held (Potomac, MD/Churchill).

Moore Points

Junior Caitlin Moore tied for the team-high in points for the season against Washington. Moore has compiled seven points in just seven matches this season, including three assists and one game-winner.

On Her Roll

Sophomore Allie Zazzali earned a spot on the Centennial Conference Weekly Honor Roll (9/22) for her performances against St. Mary's College (Md.) and Washington.

Zazzali scored the equalizer for Hopkins against St. Mary's to force two overtime periods, producing a 2-2 draw. Zazzali tallied three points against Washington on Saturday to lead the Blue Jays through the week.

Zazzali recorded 14 points on five goals in her rookie season. In 2008, the sophomore has assembled five points.

A Keeper

Junior goalkeeper Karen Guszkowski (Sayreville, NJ/Cardinal McCarrick) is No. 1 in the Centennial Conference in save percentage (.913) and shutouts (5).

Moving Up

• Guszkowski is moves into a tie for 10th place in single-season shutouts (5.0) and third in career shutouts.

• Steel rise to sixth place in career points (67) and claims fifth place in career goals (27).

Up Next

The Blue Jays will host the Swarthmore Garnet on Saturday, September 27, 2008, as the second half of their two-game Centennial Conference homestand.

The Garnet is currently ranked No. 5 in the Mid-Atlantic Region after a victory over the No. 1 College of New Jersey last week. Swarthmore is 5-1-0 this season.
