Complete Release in PDF Format
The Teams: The Blue Jays are 7-5 overall this season and 4-2 in the American Lacrosse Conference after falling to No. 13 Maryland Saturday at Homewood Field. Villanova enters today's game 7-5 overall and 3-2 in the Patriot League. Last Time Out: Courtney Hobbs scored four goals and added two assists and Meredith Egan added four goals and an assist as Maryland held off a second-half rally by Johns Hopkins to defeat the Blue Jays, 13-8, at Homewood Field Saturday afternoon. The Blue Jays trailed 8-1 in the last minute of the first half, but Jamie Larrimore scored with 37 seconds left and Erin Wellner scored a free position goal with four seconds remaining to cut the Maryland lead to 8-3 at halftime. Hopkins continued to come back in the second half, and back-to-back goals by Christy Peterson and Larrimore cut the Terrapin advantage to 10-7 with 15 minutes to play. That would be as close as the Blue Jays would get, as the Terps scored the next three goals to put the game out of reach.
Next Time Out: Hopkins travels to Hofstra next Wednesday for a 3 p.m. matchup with the Pride. Hofstra has won the only two meetings between the two schools, winning 16-11 in 2000 and 12-10 at Homewood Field last season.
Tucker Closing In On Anderson: Janine Tucker is currently in her ninth season as head coach of the Blue Jays. Tucker is just four wins shy of becoming the winningest coach in Hopkins history, as Sally Anderson compiled an 111-63 mark over the 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 three more victories to do so in 2002. Prior to the team's move to Division I in 1999, Tucker led the Blue Jays to four NCAA Division III tournaments in five years, including semifinal appearances in 1994, 1995, and 1998. Tucker, who also led Hopkins to the quarterfinals in 1997, guided the Blue Jays to conference championships in 1994, 1995, 1997, and 1998. Below is Tucker's year-by-year record: Year Record Notes 1994 16-1 (.941) NCAA III Semifinals 1995 15-3 (.833) NCAA III Semifinals 1996 11-5 (.688) 1997 12-4 (.750) NCAA III Semifinals 1998 14-3 (.824) NCAA Quarterfinals 1999 10-4 (.714) First Division I Season 2000 12-6 (.667) ECAC Finals 2001 11-6 (.647) ECAC Champions 2002 7-5 (.583) Totals 108-37 (.745)Larrimore Climbs Points List: When Jamie Larrimore assisted on a goal by Meghan Burnett 17 seconds into the Davidson game, she became just the fifth player in Hopkins history to reach the 200-point plateau.

Peterson has scored a goal in 10 straight games, the second-longest active streak on the team - Pearce has scored in all 12 games this season. What A Difference: The Blue Jays are 7-0 this season when they score at least 10 goals and 0-5 when they do not reach double-digits. In the seven wins, Hopkins has outscored its opponents 98-55 and averaged 14.0 goals per game. However, in their four losses, the Blue Jays have been outscored 59-29 and are averaging only 5.8 goals per game. Easy Transition: This season sophomores Kate Gilland and Katie Stevenson each moved to the Hopkins defense after playing on the midfield as freshmen, and both have adjusted well. Gilland, who scored five goals last season on eight shots, has started every game this year and has been on the field for all but 15 minutes. For the season Gilland has collected 32 ground balls, fifth on the team, and caused 18 turnovers, third on the team. Stevenson, who scored six goals on just 10 shots as a freshman, has also started all 12 games this season, collecting 22 ground balls, causing seven turnovers, and recording seven draw controls. Hentz Makes Immediate Impact: It hasn't taken long for freshman defender Lacey-Leigh Hentz to make her presence felt in the Hopkins backfield. Hentz leads the team in caused turnovers with 33 and in turnover margin at +17, and she has added 27 ground balls while playing all but 60 minutes so far this season. Hentz is currently second in the league and sixth in Division I with 2.67 caused turnovers a game. No Rest Needed: Five Hopkins players are averaging at least 55 minutes played per game, and six more are averaging at least 45 minutes played per game. In the win over Ohio State on April 6, nine of the 12 Blue Jay starters played all 60 minutes, while the other three played 55. Records Fall Against Ohio: Sophomore midfielder Heidi Pearce set a school Division I record by scoring eight goals in the 23-11 win over Ohio University on March 17. Pearce also recorded two assists, tying the JHU Division I record with 10 points. Danielle Maschuci also notched 10 points in a 16-7 win over St. Joseph's on April 28, 1999. Additionally, Hopkins set team Division I records in the victory by scoring 23 goals and taking 56 shots. Hopkins In the National Stats: The Blue Jays, who have recorded more ground balls than their opponents in all but one game this season, are averaging 33.17 ground balls a game, which puts them fifth in Division I and first in the conference. Additionally, Hopkins is ranked 30th nationally by allowing 9.50 goals per game and is ranked 28th by scoring 10.58 goals a game.
