April 3, 2002 Complete Release in PDF Format
The Team: The Blue Jays are 6-4 overall this season and 3-2 in the American Lacrosse Conference after defeating Northwestern, 11-7, last Tuesday and topping Richmond, 14-8, Saturday. Recapping the Week: Senior attacker Jamie Larrimore (Chestertown, MD/Kent County) and sophomore midfielder Heidi Pearce (Chestertown, MD/St. Andrew's) combined for 17 goals last week as the Blue Jays defeated Northwestern and Richmond. Hopkins has now won six of its last seven games after starting the season 0-3. Up Next: Hopkins hosts No. 13 Ohio State Saturday at 11 a.m. at Homewood Field. The game marks the first-ever meeting between the Blue Jays and Buckeyes, and is JHU's last conference game this season. Tucker Closing In On Anderson: Janine Tucker (Loyola '89) is currently in her ninth season as head coach of the Blue Jays. Tucker is just five wins shy of becoming the winningest coach in Hopkins history, as Sally Anderson compiled an 111-63 mark over 11 seasons prior to Tucker's arrival at Homewood. The Blue Jays have reached double-digit wins in the first eight seasons under Tucker and need four more victories to do so in 2002. Below is Hopkins' year-by-year record under Tucker.
