TOWSON, Md. — Goucher went 0-3 in pool play and then bowed to Brockport, the fourth-place team in the opposite pool, this weekend at the 2012 Greg "Gio" Giovanazzi Memorial Tournament for which it served as the host.
In pool play Saturday, the Gophers were beaten by Hiram, 3-1 (25-18, 24-26, 25-18, 25-11), and Johns Hopkins, 3-0 (25-12, 25-6, 25-13).

Chalk, freshman outside hitter Sami Kennelly (Howell, N.J./Howell) and senior libero Ashley Fan (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) recorded 10 digs apiece.
Six was the most kills any Goucher player managed in the match against the Blue Jays (2-0) and the team's attack percentage was only .014.
In their final match during pool play today, the Gophers were pitted against Cabrini. The Cavaliers (1-2) prevailed 3-0 (25-8, 25-16, 25-23) to place third in the pool.
