Welcome back, Blue Jay fans! We’re back with another week of Hopkins sports as the fall teams finish up their regular seasons and winter sports start their campaigns. There are lots of big wins and playoff runs to look forward to! Here’s the breakdown of this past week’s events.
Hi everyone, welcome back to another edition of Hopkins Sports in Review! The Blue Jays had a very successful week, so come with us as we take a look at some of the best results! Cross country is approaching the pointy end of its season, and this week’s action brought the Centennial Conference Championships in Newville, Penn.
To anyone who is paying attention, one of the most intriguing stories in the world of soccer for the past couple of years has been the increasing prevalence of Basque soccer, specifically Basque soccer managers. Last season, Xabi Alonso — head coach of Bayer Leverkusen — broke Bayern Munich’s 11-year Bundesliga winning streak in his second season as the Bayer Leverkusen coach. Out of 20 teams in the EPL, four of them have Basque managers — Arteta, Unai Emery (Aston Villa F.C.), Julen Lopetegui (West Ham United) and Andoni Iraola (A.F.C. Bournemouth).
Hopkins Athletics was in action this past week as several of our teams traveled to meet their opponents in the Centennial Conference, delivering impressive performances both individually and as a group. Check out some of our game summaries!
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.”
As the Ballon d’Or award ceremony approaches, check out some of our editors' predictions about who will win what this year!
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!
