The Blue Streaks have journeyed to the Ohio Athletic Conference playoffs five straight years and for five straight years, they have been unable to escape the semifinal round.

For the second time in three years, it was the defensing champion Mount Union Purple Raiders who handed JCU the postseason defeat, this time by a score of 19-6.

Mount pounced from the jump and never looked back.  After the first ten minutes, the Purple Raiders had a 6-2 advantage over the Blue Streaks, scoring in bursts of three, broken up by goals from Brooke McQuinn and Alex Heishman.  They would both finish with two goals apiece.

Colleen Grombala added a goal to JCU's total, but Mount would go on a 9-0 tear over the end of the first half and the beginning of the second, keeping John Carroll scoreless for nearly 24 minutes.
 
McQuinn, Alexis Guage, and Heishman would throw in three more goals, but the gap proved too big to handle.  

Mount Union's Mimi Curtis played the entire match, making nine saves compared to Elyssa Zablo's and Kaleigh Kotula's two total saves.

Four players scored for the Blue and Gold while five scored for the Purple and Black, seven coming off the stick of Danielle Rohrman.

With the end of the season comes the departure of seniors and the beginning of the 2020 campaign.  McQuinn, Guage, and Syndey Lang hang up their cleats after storied careers for John Carroll. Playing the most games of any Blue Streak in its history, McQuinn resides in the top five all-time lists for points, goals, assists, and minutes played while leading in ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers for the program.  Starting the most games in JCU history, Guage accrued more than 100 career points and surpassed 100 ground balls. One of best defenders Wasmer Field has ever seen, Lang holds a spot on the top ten lists for ground balls, caused turnovers, and playing time in the program's history.

The 2020 team has a lot to look forward to despite those crucial losses.  The conference's third-highest scorer returns in Grombala with now the seasoned sophomore Heishman who has yet to be held scoreless in a collegiate match.  The two combined for 105 goals this year. Heishman set a program record for most goals ina . season by a freshman, tallying 52 to break Gina Vilsack's amrk of 51 set in 2015.

Anchored by two of the best goalies in the conference in goals against and goalies against average in Kotula and Zablo, Molly Carroll (45gb, 24ct), Emma Workman (33pts, 34gb, 30ct) and Sophie Grabowski (30gb, 18ct) headline the defensive front for John Carroll. 

John Carroll ends its season 10-7, while Mount Union moves to 16-1 after winning its 15th consecutive game, and advances to the championship game for the sixth straight year.
