Sankey continued his run of success against Johns Hopkins. The 5-foot-5, 160-pound team captain had three goals and three assists in the No. 4 Tar Heels' 13-11 win Saturday against the No. 12 Blue Jays. Sankey, who has 11 goals and five assists in four meetings with Johns Hopkins, assisted on the eventual game-winning goal by junior midfielder Brent Armstrong in the fourth quarter. Sankey has scored 102 career goals, which is tied with Jeff Sonke (1998-2001) and Mike McCall (2002-2005) for eighth place in program history. His streak of 40 consecutive games with at least a point is the third-longest active streak in Division I.
