CARLISLE, Pa. - The Dickinson Men's Soccer team fell to Johns Hopkins despite only allowing one shot on goal in a rematch of last season's Centennial Conference Championship Game at Miller Memorial Field on Wednesday night.

- Dickinson's first opportunity of the match came with 7:40 gone when off a corner Josh Dozier lifted one over the goal.
- Three minutes later Jason Dixon tested John Ghanem for the first time, but he was up to the task.
- The Red and White appeared to the have the lead in the 16th minute when Maxim Temple jabbed home a loose ball inside the six-yard box. Unfortunately, the first-year was called offside negating the marker.

- Hopkins found the breakthrough with 33:35 gone when a cross from the right wing by Rohan Aggarwal was stabbed home by Gabriel Pirayou making it 1-0 at half.
