WEST POINT, N.Y. -- Brian Piccola and Casey Gordon each scored three goals and led a balanced Blue Jays offense as No. 6 Johns Hopkins defeated Army, 15-8, at Michie Stadium last night.

The victory marks the Blue Jays' 12th straight over Army and ended a two-game losing streak. Army (2-5) lost its second straight game and is off to its worst start since 1974.

The Cadets held Hopkins (4-3) to two first-quarter goals and trailed 2-1 entering the second quarter. But Hopkins went on two three-goal runs, and Blue Jays goalie Jonathan Marcus stopped 10 shots in that period and held Army to two goals.
