No saves yet from Darby.

Our Blue Jays face oblivion or glory this evening. Will they be like the Dothraki, charging with great fervor against the dead (aka Maryland), only to be quickly extinguished? Or will they be like stealthy Arya Stark, sneaking up on the Night King, finishing the Terps off and causing Cooter to shatt...

I hope everyone will have the decency and class to either get up to Piscataway tomorrow night or at least watch it on TV, out of respect to watch the last game of Coach Pietramala's career at Johns Hopkins! No one can deny that he is the best coach that the Jays have had over the last 20 years. Hav...

Epstein wins Big Ten freshman of the year and a spot on 1st Team All Big Ten. Foley and Williams made 2nd team. There is no 3rd team. Keep it rolling on Thursday, fellas. https://bigten.org/news/2019/4/30/big-ten-announces-mens-lacrosse-postseason-honors.aspx Wow. I think most of us expected Epstei...

Single White Female?

Surreptitious Warbling Ferret?

As for Darby, he needs to step it up. There is no question. The tough part is that he hasn't played very well since the SU game. In B!G play he is saving at .405% rate. His save rate against the other 3 teams in the conference tournament is .369%. I am sure he would agree that is not getting the jo...

It’s far too late for that, old friend ... far too late.

Why are Hopkins assistants never on these lists? Dwan isn't the head coach type. I'd heard that Benson was offered the UMBC job when that was open after Zim left, but turned it down. His name pops up now and again. His offenses, while generally good, have probably been a little too inconsistent to ...

Thanks, everyone.

So, the Blue Jays have the chance to achieve something that hasn’t been done since 1982. That should be more than enough to charge this Hopkins team to another victory!

As for the unprecedented trifecta, we’ll see if they can earn that chance.

Quick question ... when was the last time Hopkins beat Maryland twice in a single season?

I think it was a mistake for them to not put their best defender (Corley) on Epstein. I'll bet that will change on Thursday. Put your best guy on a Freshman and see what he can do, particularly since Epstein is the key playmaker. Epstein bagging a couple on severe angles.. Even on replay it's hard ...

I mean it looks like hes effortlessly gliding past defenders. He's a clearing machine, can shoot the lights out. Agree about Zinn. It's amazing what speed can do. But, he's gonna have to hit the net to make Tillman care about him. Otherwise, in round 2, the Terps will just let him run. Until Zinn c...

I thought Ryan Coulter was phenomenal. Absolutely eye-popping range for a SSDM, with his head always on a swivel. Was he late sliding on that one goal? Marginally, but he was amazing in his first third quarter run and won a possession for the Blue Jays with a race to the sideline. Seriously, why th...

Good analysis, 51%vegetable. Blue Jays know what they must do. From the Baltimore Sun: “We understand that we’re in a position where we just have to win out almost the rest of the season,” senior defenseman Patrick Foley said. “This game was a good step in the right direction. But next Thursday is e...

Won't be the last offyear for UMich. Ohio St. just had one. Rutgers, who had as solid of a squad as they've had in a few years, won't make the playoffs without a Big Ten title. Every year, it gets harder to win. Michigan has a lot of talent on their roster. Plagued by injuries this year. Wouldn’t b...

Expected this all along. ;) Terrific gut check win. Blue Jays finally played a full 60 minutes and they just beat one of the best teams in the nation. The WAY they beat Maryland was truly impressive. Very proud of the young men! :) Great to see Coulter and Zinn get more playing time! At their best, ...

AND If they beat Maryland tomorrow night and win the first round game of the big10 tournament they’re a lock to get into the NCAA tourney. If they they lose to MD they need to win two to take the tourney Sooo either way they’re 2 wins in a row from going to the tournament. Winning 2 in a row isn’t ...

Are they available for Saturday’s game? Communication might be an issue ... as it’s been all season long.
