A win is a win. Error-prone game by the Blue Jays, but it’s encouraging that they took some hard blows from a pretty good DE team and bounced right back.
Joey Epstein benched after some bad shooting decisions, and had a couple of turnovers, too. Keep forgetting he’s still a freshman.
Much credit to the DE goalie, Deluca. He clearly got into the Blue Jays’ heads.
I have never understood why the Blue Jay offense consistently stalls against a zone defense. Usually takes a team effort to beat a zone, and some good outside shooting. Blue Jays have struggled with both at times, but they should have the basic tools to get the job done.
Blue Jays played good defense most of the game. Darby had another good outing.
No idea why Narewski didn’t take more draws ... nursing an injury?!?
Blue Jays went 4-1 against North Carolina, Princeton, Syracuse, MSM, and (a previously 6-1) Delaware. Wasn’t always pretty, but that’s a pretty good stretch of games if you ask me.
I think the Blue Jays need to win at least 5 more games to ensure themselves of an NCAA tournament berth. Doesn’t really matter how or against whom. Four more wins and they’ll be a bubble team needing some help. Tall challenge.
Blue Jays looked good out there today for certain portions of the game, and fairly mediocre at others. There’s nothing beautiful or elegant about this Hopkins team or season. Blue Jays will just need to work hard and grind out the wins one at a time.
Call this Hopkins team The Lunch Pail Crew.
