The Hopkins volleyball team traveled to Pittsburgh this past weekend to compete in the Carnegie Mellon Invitational. The Blue Jays dominated the event, taking the title, and improving upon their perfect record which now stands at 12-0. The Blue Jays first squared off against John Carroll University on Friday evening. John Carroll proved to be no match for the Jays. The Blue Jays posted sixteen kills on thirty-seven attempts for a .351 attack percentage. Freshman Jasmine Warmington led the squad with thirteen of the sixteen kills. Fellow classmate Carolyn Zin led the team with sixteen assists. The Blue Jays were delighted to see such strong performances coming from their freshmen players. It is no doubt a challenge to come into a strong program like Hopkins’ and contribute right away, yet these two freshmen have done a tremendous job for the squad. Hopkins won in straight sets 3-0 and moved on to face host Carnegie Mellon in the night match. This match boasted the same story against a different team. Hopkins once again powered past Carnegie Mellon, winning straight sets 3-0. Senior Amelia Thomas led the Blue Jays with fifteen digs and Katie Schwarz had fourteen kills to lead the team to their second victory of the day. This set the Blue Jays up nicely going into the final matches of the tournament. Winning the opening two matches set the tone for the rest of the tournament and put the team in a favorable position to take the title going into the weekend. The Blue Jays were slated to take on Muskingum Saturday morning and proved to be just as dominant in the morning as they were the previous night. The Blue Jays did not win in straight sets this time. However, they would still come through with the victory. The Jays won the first set, but Muskingum took the second set 25-21. The Blue Jays kept their composure and came back to win the next two sets to take the match 3-1. Sophomore Anne Cohen notched twenty-four digs while teammates Mariel Metalios and Becky Paynter combined for 48 assists. After the morning win, the Jays faced Wooster in their toughest test to date. The Blue Jays found themselves in uncharted territory down late in the match 2-1. Hopkins was potentially looking at their first loss of the season. However, they were not about to let that happen. Freshman Jasmine Warmington once again stepped up and took charge in the Blue Jays’ comeback. She totaled twenty-one kills and five blocks to put the Jays back in contention. Fellow classmate Carolyn Zin also stepped up and posted career-high 36 assists. The team rallied and took the next two sets en route to a comeback 3-2 victory. This performance proved the tough character of the team — when they faced adversity they responded resoundingly. Senior co-captain Amelia Thomas explained the win. “It felt like a huge accomplishment for our team since we faced our toughest opponent so far in the title match,” the Baltimore-native said. Winning the Carnegie Mellon Invitational propelled the Jays to 12-0, but, says Thomas, the team is more proud of the national recognition they have received to begin the year. “12-0 is a great record but the thing we are most proud of is being nationally ranked 28th and increasing our votes for the top 25.” The Blue Jays will look to continue the undefeated start to their season this Thursday in Goldfarb Gym against Gallaudet.

Sophomore Holly Clarke and freshman Hannah Eckstein represented the Blue Jays in the event. Clarke and Eckstein placed 10th and 14th in the 10,000-meter event. This was against steep competition, matching up against Division I opponents. For the six mile, 376 yd race, Clarke ran a time of 36:10.39 and Eckstein followed closely behind coming in at 36:33.82. In Division III, these scores took the number two and three spots in the nation. Their performance on the national stage this past weekend in North Carolina was truly a remarkable accomplishment for the two Blue Jays. The Blue Jays returned to action the next day in College Park, Maryland to compete in the Maryland Invitational. Many Division I teams were competing in the event, including teams such as Maryland and the Naval Academy. The Blue Jays competed well on the day and many set personal records. Freshman Lindsay Sanborn started the Jays off with a decisive victory in the 5,000 meter race, finishing with a time of 18:32.92. This was Sanborn's best race to date in a Blue Jay uniform as she beat her next closest runner by over 100 meters. Freshman Abby Flock also ran well, finishing fourth in the event. In the 800 meter run, junior Annie Monagle placed third in the event with a time of 2:15.05. This time ranks her first in the Centennial Conference and sixth on the national Division III level. Freshmen Ingrid Johnson and Paige Boehmcke competed in the 1500 meter race and posted their best times to date with runs of 4:55.76 and 4:56.78, respectively. In the javelin throw, Emily Swenson recorded a throw of 38.48 meters, which landed her a second place finish in the event and in the lead in the Centennial Conference. Swenson also performed well in the shot, throwing for a distance of 11.75 meters, tops in the conference. Right behind Swenson was junior teammate Alana Merkow who threw for 11.64 meters. She ranks second in the Centennial Conference. In the pole vault, Kelsey Bower had a score of 10' (3.05) and placed fourth in the meet. The Blue Jay sprinters had a strong performance in College Park. Freshman Kelley Hussey posted a score to ranks her second in the 100 meter (13.14). Sophomore Chloe Ryan and junior Amelia Vallenilla tied for fourth. The Hopkins men's track team was also in action this past week at College Park. The Blue Jays also faced stiff competition from Division I opponents but were able to have many good early season scores. Freshman Ryan Walsh made a statement in his high jump performance (6'2" (1.88)), landing him in first place in the Centennial Conference, but only good enough for sixth place in the event. Sophomore Jon Hickman also found himself in first place in the Centennial Conference but only finished in eighth for the discus event. The Blue Jays also set a conference leading time in the 4 X 400 meter relay at 3:34.39. The distance runners for the Blue Jays all showed their abilities. In the 1500-meter run, Julian Saliani (4:04.24), sophomores Wes Butler (4:04.47), Robert Ferris (4:04.80) and senior Brett Schwartz (4:05.19) all had impressive times. It is clear that the team has the ability to stack up against some of the top Division I programs in the country. Not only did the Blue Jays post scores that were atop of the Centennial Conference, they were able to amass top rankings amongst some Division I opponents. The Blue Jays can carry this conference into their next event in Millersville, Pa to compete in the Millersville Metrics and Combined Events Challenge on Apr. 6th.

This past Thursday, the Hopkins baseball team traveled to Westminster, MD, to take on McDaniel for the second time this season. Beating the Green Terror in their previous meeting, the Jays were looking to complete the season sweep. In a dramatic and thrilling ninthinning finish, the Blue Jays did just that. Senior pitcher Sam Eagleson was on the bump for the Blue Jays when the squad jumped out to an early lead. Sophomore outfielder Mike Denlinger got things started for the Jays with a sacrifice fly in the first inning to score junior infielder Kyle Neverman. The Jays tacked on three more in the second en rout an early 4-0 lead over the Green Terror. Despite getting down early the opposition did not go passively away. McDaniel scored a total of five runs in the third inning to take the lead. Yet, the Blue Jays would a n s w e r e d back by tacking on two more runs in the later innings on behalf of a sacrifice fly by junior infielder Adam Weiner and a double by senior catcher Aaron Borenstein. The seesaw type game did not end here - the Green Terror once again answered and scored two runs in the eighth to battle back and take a seven to six lead. The Blue Jays were thus down to their last two outs in the ninth inning and down a run. Junior Jared Frydman commented on the outlook going into the last inning. "We had to flip the switch. It was now or never." Junior infielder and Sports Editor Mike Kanen led the comeback, drawing a one out walk and senior Aaron Borenstein singled to left field to put two runners on base. After the bases were loaded with another single, sophomore first baseman/outfielder Richie Carbone launched a double to plate the tying and the go ahead runs. The Blue Jays then tacked on more runs to exit the inning with a huge 13-7 lead. Senior closer Aaron Schwartz shut the door in the ninth, meanwhile, picking up his third win of the season. After the trying series against McDaniel, the Blue Jays were back on the field this past Saturday to take on Swarthmore in a double-header at Homewood field. In the first game, Senior ace pitcher Alex Eliopoulos was on the hill for the Blue Jays. Eliopoulos was dominant in his outing, going eight strong innings and striking out seven while yielding only three runs. Eliopoulos once again gave head coach Bob Babb a strong outing. The senior has been a rock all season long for the Blue Jays and one of the biggest reasons for the team's success. The Blue Jays were ahead in the game for much of the afternoon but the Garnet came back in the sixth and seventh innings to tie the game, scoring one in the sixth and two in the seventh. The Blue Jays answered back scoring three runs in the bottom of the inning. After Neverman led off with a double the hits became contagious. With the lead at 6-3, the Blue Jays did not look back. Senior closer Aaron Schwartz came into the ninth inning and retired the Garnet one-two-three to end the first game. In the second game, sophomore pitcher Tyler Goldstein took the mound for the Blue Jays. The game was close through the first four innings, with the Jays leading 3-1, but then in the fifth the Hopkins offense came alive pouring on seven runs. The bases were loaded for Carbone when he delivered with a double down the left field line to plate Junior first b a s e m a n Jeff Lynch and Bor e n s t e i n . D e n l i n g e r then came to the plate and took the pitcher deep on the first pitch he saw. This was the third Blue Jay home run in the game and put the Jays up 10-1. The game finished with a score of 13-3 as the Blue Jays completed a commanding sweep of Swarthmore. The Jays offense ignited this past weekend on behalf of some outstanding individual performances. Lynch went 6-8 on the day with four RBIs. Delinger, Kanen and Neverman also had four RBIs on the day. The Blue Jays traveled to Gettysburg, PA, to take on the Bullets on Tuesday. Eagleson was dominant on the bump in the early going for Hopkins, taking a no-hitter into the fifth inning. However, in the fifth, the Bullets were able to plate a run and take the lead. In the top of the sixth, the Blue Jays came right back scoring three runs to take the lead. Kanen hit a homerun, his team-leading fourth of the season, to propel the offense in the inning. Kanen's play earned him the Centennial Conference Player of the Week Award. Going into the seventh, the Blue Jays tacked on four more runs to take a comfortable lead over the Bullets. The Jays never looked back, scoring at least two runs in each of the final four innings of play. Once again, senior Aaron Schwartz came in to close the door on the Bullets, but this time he went the final two innings. Schwartz's performance this last week in multiple games earned him the honor of DIII Baseball Relief Pitcher of the Week. The Blue Jays won their fifth straight game and will complete regular season play with the Bullets on Friday at Hopkins.

Hopkins' women's fencing team took its third straight Eastern Women's Fencing Conference (EWFC) C h a m p i o n - ship this past weekend in M a d i s o n , New Jersey. The EWFC is currently in its 12th year. The league was established in the 2 0 0 0 - 2 0 0 1 season and has been a round-robin style single day Dual Meet Championship format. The league consists of seven schools that eventually compete for the championship title: Hopkins, Drew University, Hunter College, Haverford College, Yeshiva University, City College of New York and Stevens Institute of Technology. The Lady Jays have dominated this event for the past three years and have moved into second place on the all-time EWFC Championship list, following the six-time champions, Drew University. Hopkins won this year's prestigious event with a dominant 6-0 record. The black and blue posted decisive victories against each opponent, taking down CCNY, 25-2; Haverford, 18-9; Yeshiva, 24-3; Hunter, 23-4; Stevens Tech, 14-13; and Drew, 25-2. Stevens Tech was the runner-up for the event, but the Blue Jays were too much for the Ducks to handle. The event's host, Drew, was the first match of the day for Hopkins. Freshmen Rachel Kalina and Sarah Hewes each won two bouts in the Sabre. In the Foil, sophomore Jackie Heath and senior Colleen Stone each went 3-0. In the Epee, junior Komal Kumar and freshman Gianna Puzzo combined victories to give the Blue Jays the upper hand. Following the rout over the Rangers, Hopkins squared off against CCNY and won in dominant fashion to put the Blue Jays ahead with a 2-0 record. The Jays then took their early success and faced Haverford in the third round. The outcome was no different than the first two rounds for the Blue Jays. Sophomore Kathleen Rand and Kalina combined to gain a 6-0 advantage in the Sabre. Senior Lauren Chinn won all three of her bouts in the Epee to seal the victory against the Fords. Hopkins then faced their toughest opponent of the day, Stevens Tech. Stevens gave Hopkins all they could handle but ultimately did not take charge and handed the Blue Jays their first loss of the day despite taking the Epee, 7-2. The Blue Jays rounded off the day with dominant victories over Hunter and Yeshiva. The Blue Jays called on their senior leaders to anchor the victories needed to take the championship title. Seniors Jen Hession, Chinn and Marion Tr u m ba l l r e c o r d e d important v i c t o r i e s in their respective m a t c h e s to give the rest of the Blue Jays a prime e x a m p l e to follow. These v i c t o r i e s came as no s u r p r i s e; these three s e n i o r s have had outstanding careers at Hopkins and their collective performance this past weekend followed suit. With the wins, Chinn and Trumball reached career milestones. Chinn reached her 250th victory while Trumball reached her 200th. There were milestones reached by younger members of the team to accompany these accomplishments. Sophomore Katherine Simeon and Kumar each reached their 150th career victory. These individual accomplishments made up a collective team effort that resulted in the Blue Jays' third straight Eastern Women's Fencing Conference Championship. The Blue Jays will face these same teams next weekend, but, this time, it will be solely individual competition for the Eastern Women's Fencing Conference Championship. If the Blue Jays perform in the same manner as this past weekend, expect to see many more accolades coming their way.
