BALTIMORE, MD - Tickets for this Saturday's (April 15) men's lacrosse game between Johns Hopkins University (5-3) and the University of Maryland (6-3) are selling quickly and administrators from Johns Hopkins expect to reach a sell-out before game day. As of Monday morning the allotment of reserve-section tickets was nearly sold out and sales of general admission tickets were brisk. Ticket sales for the 102nd meeting between Johns Hopkins and Maryland will be capped at 10,000. Game time is set for 8:00 pm
