Williamsburg, VA - Blue Jays sophomore midfielder Heidi Pearce (Chestertown, MD/St. Andrew's) scored two of her three goals late in the second half to break a 9-9 tie and lead the Johns Hopkins women's lacrosse team to an 11-9 victory over William & Mary Saturday afternoon at Busch Field.

Jamie Larrimore (Chestertown, MD/Kent County) added three goals and an assist for the No. 20 Blue Jays, who picked up their first win of the season. No. 14 William & Mary fell to 1-2 on the year.

Hopkins appeared to be in control of the game when Meghan Burnett (Auburn, NY/Auburn) scored off an assist from Erin Riordan (Brightwaters, NY/Bay Shore) to give the Blue Jays a 9-5 lead with 18:48 remaining in the game, but the Tribe roared back with four goals in a 2:17 span to tie the game with 15:36 left.

However, Pearce scored an unassisted goal at the 14:15 mark to give Hopkins the lead back and scored an insurance goal with 2:46 remaining to put the game away.

For the first time this season Hopkins scored the game's first goal, as Larrimore found the back of the net with 23:04 left in the first half. Pearce gave the Blue Jays a two-goal lead with an unassisted goal two minutes later, but William & Mary scored three unanswered goals to take the lead at the 14:31 mark. JHU would respond with goals by Christy Peterson (Fallston, MD/Fallston) and Larrimore, and after the Tribe tied the game, Kate Barcomb (Middlebury, VT/Middlebury) scored twice and Leah Onda (Sykesville, MD/South Carroll) added a free position goal to give Hopkins a 7-4 halftime lead.

Morgan Watkins and Colette Chaput each recorded two goals and an assist to lead William & Mary, while Kelly McQuade added two goals. Junior goalie Jen McDonald (Garden City, NY/Garden City) made 13 saves for Hopkins.

Hopkins returns to Homewood Field Wednesday when the Blue Jays host American at 3:30 p.m.
