SWARTHMORE, Pa. Senior running back Scott Martorana rushed 27 times for a career-high 226 yards and two touchdowns and also caught a touchdown pass as Johns Hopkins cruised to a 35-0 victory over host Swarthmore. The win, Hopkins 10th straight over Swarthmore, improves the Blue Jays record on the year to 1-1, while the Garnet Tide fall to 1-1.

Martorana capped a six-play, 59-yard drive for the Blue Jays with a six-yard touchdown reception from junior Rob Heleniak with 4:31 left in the first quarter to give JHU a 7-0 lead. He added an eight-yard scoring run with 3:09 left in the second quarter to make it 14-0 and finished his scoring output with a 12-yard run early in the third quarter to push the lead to 28-0. Martoranas 226 yards rushing rank as the fourth-highest single-game total in school history and the most by a Blue Jay running back since October 22, 1993, when Chuck Wotkowicz rushed for a school-record 347 yards against Georgetown.

Heleniak had another effective day for the Blue Jays as he was 15-of-21 for 121 yards and three touchdowns. In addition to his scoring toss to Martorana, he also hit junior Zach Baylin from 16 yards out with just 20 seconds left in the second quarter to make it 21-0 and he added a five-yard scoring pass to senior tight end Will Baskett with 2:26 left in the game to close out the scoring.

Swarthmores best threat of the day came in the final minute of the game when the Garnet Tide drove to the Hopkins seven yard line. But the Blue Jays preserved their first shutout since September 19, 1998 (a 42-0 win at Swarthmore) when sophomore Matt Moritz intercepted a Scott Murray pass in the end zone on the final play of the game. The Garnet Tide managed just 193 yards of total offense, 131 of which came from running back Ken Clark on 28 carries.

Baylin ended the day with a game-high eight receptions for 60 yards and the one touchdown. His eight receptions increase his career total to 84, which moves him into ninth place on the all-time receptions list at Johns Hopkins. In addition, he moved into 12th place on the all-time receiving yards list at Johns Hopkins with 921.

Murray was just 9-of-22 for 75 yards and he threw three interceptions on the day. In addition to Moritz, junior Joe Angelosante and sophomore Nolan Ivers also came up with interceptions for Johns Hopkins.

The Blue Jays will next be in action next Saturday when they host Kings Point at 1:30 pm at Homewood Field.
