Athletics and athletes have for too long been undervalued at our school despite their intangible contribution to university life and reputation. It's time athletics became a central part of the Hopkins brand. Your move, Hopkins.
The NFL trade deadline is fast approaching, and with it comes a lot of speculation about the potential moves that could take place. We have already seen the Kansas City Chiefs make a move for DeAndre Hopkins and the New York Jets for Davante Adams, but we could be set to see some more big moves.
After the “summer of soccer,“ players returned home from international duty as eagle-eyed fans awaited the returns of club leagues. And they roared back with a vengeance — thrilling games, star players and overall, an incredible level of competition. There is an unfortunate side-effect of this: injuries. Since July, we have seen a shockingly large number of serious, season-ending injuries — Rodri, Dani Carvajal and Marc-André ter Stegen, to name a few. Whether you follow La Liga or the Premier League, the Bundesliga or Serie A, it’s been impossible to watch a match without seeing a player limp off the field, collapse in pain or sit down on the sidelines and signal for the medic team.
Hello Hopkins faithfuls! Welcome to another week of Hopkins Sports in Review! Here’s the latest on fall sports as conference play continues and the playoffs approach.
Brooklyn Pater found the women’s volleyball team at Hopkins by chance — well, not exactly. It was more like the program found her, in the form of an email from a coach when she was in her freshman year of high school in Sioux Falls, S.D.
I’m not a sports person — that is, I don’t regularly attend live matches, follow sports in the news or have a favorite team for quite literally any sport. And all of this, certainly not for American sports. So, what am I doing here? Well, welcome to Yana Mulani’s review of American sports, where I watch traditionally American sports and tell you what I — a non-American — think of them.
Hi everyone! Welcome back to another week of Hopkins Sports in Review! Come and join us as we take a look at some of the results from a packed weekend of competition.
After what was a wildly entertaining 2024 MLB regular season, the Wild Card Series of the playoffs did not disappoint. In just the first three games of the playoffs, we have seen dynasties collapse, underdogs conquer and rookies dominate in unprecedented ways.
I was always skeptical of baseball. The most common score is, like, 3–2, there are so many players on the team, and the rules are impossible to learn. And don’t get me started on all the statistics — ERA, OPS, RBI, SLG. I have to memorize enough acronyms for the MCAT — no need for more.
Our women’s soccer athletes had a busy week with two games against The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) and Muhlenberg College (Muhlenberg), respectively. Wednesday’s game against TCNJ — held at Homewood Field — started off with an advantage to the Jays as sophomore Ava Venuti scored a header in the 44th minute. The assist was made by graduate student Olivia Redden who now has two goal contributions so far this season.
With a week left in the 2024 MLB season, there is drama galore. Who will get into the playoffs? Who will just miss out? Award races, record chases and much more are topics of discussion. Here’s everything you need to know about the final stretch of the MLB season:
Prior to the 2023 season, the University of Colorado Boulder (Colorado) Buffaloes were in a situation lacking any kind of direction. Having finished the season prior with a record of 1–11, the worst record in all of college football, changes were necessary. Colorado’s solution? NFL Hall of Famer and head coach of Jackson State University, Deion Sanders — or as some know him, “Coach Prime.”

Hi everyone, and welcome to the inaugural Hopkins Sports in Review for the 2024–2025 year! Here at the Sports section, we’re proud to be bringing back our coverage of Hopkins sports games. Let’s take a look at the start of our athletes’ seasons!
The first week of NFL action is now all wrapped up, and it couldn’t have been filled with more excitement, shock and incredible performances across the board. We saw the defending champions return to their dominant ways beating the Baltimore Ravens at home, the Cincinnati Bengals losing in shock fashion to the Jacoby Brissett-led New England Patriots, and Josh Allen leading an incredible comeback against the Arizona Cardinals headlined by his four touchdown performance.
After the closure of this summer’s transfer window, let’s review some of the biggest signings in the men’s soccer leagues!
The 2024 college football season is the start of a new era. Gone is the four-team playoff and the controversy about who can have a chance at becoming National Champions. In its place is a wide-open 12-team playoff. For most major programs, week one brought 50-point wins and hopes of a playoff berth, but the first week was also not without impactful games or serious question marks. With that, here are the biggest takeaways from Week 1 of the college football season:
We’ve finally made it here! The NFL season is back, and the opening weekend of play is only a couple of days away so it’s the perfect time to take a quick look at some of the events that could transpire over the slate of games, and lay some predictions down.
As The News-Letter begins its 2024 Paralympic Games coverage, we wanted to kick off by looking back at some of our favorite moments from the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris!
With the NFL Draft beginning this Thursday, we have one last opportunity to look at the possibilities that could unfold and to delve into a bit of the chaos. If previous drafts are anything to go by, there will most certainly be some crazy moves that occur, so I’ll be giving some of my thoughts on the first 15 picks and then going through what I believe will transpire throughout the rest of the first round.
