Johns Hopkins Schedule JHU dropped a nugget in July by showing us the incredible schedule they will have this upcoming school year. https://twitter.com/jhumenslacrosse/status/1420834965319688192 Fall 2021 "Johns Hopkins will host a six-team scrimmage day on Sunday, October 24 at Homewood Field.  Along with the Blue Jays, teams schedule to compete at Homewood that day include Harvard, High Point, Hobart, Richmond and Yale.  The full schedule for the day will be available in September and the event will support the HEADstrong Foundation." - Ernie Larossa - Director of Athletic Communications - Johns Hopkins Spring 2022 In what I anticipate to be the toughest schedule in all of college lacrosse this spring, Hopkins has released it's out of conference opponents: Delaware, Georgetown, Jacksonville, Loyola, Navy, North Carolina, Princeton, Syracuse, Towson and Virginia. This is a sink or swim schedule that likely includes only 1 team outside of the top 20, and we don't know who that will be yet. Combined with a tough Big Ten schedule, this year will really season the young Blue Jays and prepare them for post season play. Coaching Hires Gettysburg: Hired long time Penn State assistant Peter Toner who seems like a perfect candidate for the storied D3 program. https://twitter.com/Chris_Jast/status/1419663230268477449 Penn State: To replace Peter Toner who left for Gettysburg, the Nittany Lions tabbed former Colgate head coach, and current Hill School / Whipsnakes LC coach Mike Murphy. This is a huge get for coach Tambroni who was able to quickly fill the open slot with one of the games best minds. Denison: The midwest D3 power made a long term play and selected who we assume will be the coach for many years in Eric Koch. Coach Koch comes from Washington & Lee and is a proven tactician and recruiter.
