Football takes down Randolph Macon, 38-14

By PAT TRACZYKIEWCZ | September 15, 2013

Winning is nothing new for the Hopkins Blue Jays football team, who posted a 10-2 record last season; and this season was nothing new as the Blue Jays won their 11th season-opening game in the last 15 years. After a preseason of beating up on each other, the Jays finally were able to take out their aggression on an opponent, and did so in a big way. Hopkins took on Randolph-Macon in Ashland, VA. In the past Randolph-Macon has provided an equal matchup against Hopkins, as the Jays have actually fallen behind early in both their 2006 and 2008 matchups, only to come back and win the game. However, that was not the story in this meeting as the Blue Jays controlled the tempo for much of the game.

By ZACH PALMER | April 19, 2013

After a tough game last week against a very talented Albany team, we set our eyes on the biggest rivalry in the history of collegiate lacrosse, Hopkins vs. the University of Maryland. Because of two straight losses, we knew this game was a must-win for us, but we didn’t even need that motivation in getting up for the rivalry, especially because Maryland was ranked number one in the nation coming into this match-up.
