The 18th-ranked Hopkins women’s tennis came to the courts with fire to compete on both Friday and Saturday. The Jays brought their brooms this weekend, finishing the days with strong 9-0 sweeps against the Gettysburg College Bullets and the Muhlenberg College Mules.
It was a jam-packed week for the Hopkins men’s tennis team, which competed in five matches over the course of three days. The Blue Jays took on the McDaniel College Green Terror and the North Carolina Wesleyan College Battling Bishops on April 5; the Gettysburg College Bullets on April 6; and the Muhlenberg College Mules and the Christopher Newport University Captains on April 7.
Last week, the Hopkins baseball team won an impressive four games over the course of just six days, winning two against the McDaniel College Green Terror and two more against the Muhlenberg College Mules. Notably, senior pitchers Alex Ross, Nick Burns and Nick Bodner all had strong performances on the mound, as Ross pitched a career-high 15 strikes and Burns captured his 100th career strikeout.
Not again. This past Monday, a female Michigan State student filed a lawsuit accusing three men’s basketball players of rape. On April 11, 2015 the student, who chose to stay unnamed, went to a bar with her roommate.
With another year of March Madness gone, another year of hope for that perfect bracket has come and gone. In hindsight, there was probably less chance for a perfect bracket this year than any other, with University of Maryland, Baltimore County becoming the first No. 16 seed to ever beat a No. 1 seed and Loyola University Chicago becoming just the fourth ever No. 11 seed to make it to the Final Four.
While most believe that it is far too early to make any sort of predictions on the 162-game season, the first matchups can certainly give an important look into the makeup of most teams. The first chapters of a book can hold important information to the plot of the entire novel. The pilot of a TV show can give you a glimpse into whether or not the show will be atrocious or not.
With the basketball world no longer focused on March Madness, it’s time to center our attention back to the professionals. As the NBA regular season nears its end, its time to look back on many of the exciting storylines and who is in the running for the NBA’s highest awards.
After continuous back-and-forth play, the Hopkins women’s lacrosse team was unable to maintain their lead, letting the 12th-ranked Northwestern University Wildcats go on a four-goal run to win the game 11-10.
The men’s and women’s track and field team opened up their outdoor season this past weekend and traveled down to Richmond, Va. to compete in the Fred Hardy Invitational.

The Hopkins men’s lacrosse team won a thriller in Piscataway, N.J. against the 10th-ranked Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Easter Sunday night in front of a crowd of over 3,000 fans.
But this week’s Athlete of the Week goes to another deserving athlete. After earning her 100th point this weekend, this week’s title goes to junior attacker Miranda Ibello.
Conference play is officially underway for the Hopkins baseball team. On Saturday, March 31 the Jays took on the Swarthmore College Garnet in a doubleheader. They then returned to Babb Field on Tuesday for the first of what will be a two-game home-and-home series with the McDaniel College Green Terror.
Over spring break, the Hopkins baseball team headed down to Fort Myers, Fla. to compete in the Gene Cusic Collegiate Classic. With 10 games in 10 days, including one doubleheader, almost all of the Blue Jays saw time on the field. The Jays won six games and lost four in Florida, which brings them to 10-8 on the season.
Don’t look now, but the Hopkins men’s lacrosse team is scorching hot. The team finished off its non-Conference schedule in style, defeating the University of Delaware Blue Hens and the University of Virginia Cavaliers on its way to capping off a perfect 5-0 month of March.
For UVA, everything was in place going into the tournament, as No. 1 seeds have been 135-0 in first round games, until now. Unless you’re a UVA fan, it is hard to not get behind a team like our Baltimore County brethren from UMBC.
While many students sought warmth during spring break, the men’s and women’s swim teams looked to compete at their last meet of the year at the 2018 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Gritting through the four-day long competition, both teams displayed impressive performances throughout the week.
Nowadays in sports, the term GOAT — “greatest of all time” — is thrown around all the time. We are in a unique moment in sports history, where there may be GOATs from three different sports playing at the same time.
Over spring break, the Hopkins men’s swimming team sent 13 swimmers to the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships at the Indiana University Natatorium in Indianapolis, IN. Throughout four days of competition, the men’s team saw an array of strong performances, resulting in an impressive fourth-place team finish.
While many Hopkins students enjoyed a restful week away from Homewood, the men’s and women’s tennis teams were hard at work hosting their Centennial Conference season openers this past Saturday against the Dickinson College Red Devils. Both teams walked away with a victory to start their season with a perfect 1-0 record in Conference play.
