  • Hopkins entered the season looking to replace 86 percent of its draw controls from 2024. The Blue Jays seem to have found the answer in freshman draw specialist Laurel Gonzalez. In the season opener, she outdrew Florida all on her own, as she controlled 12 draws to the Gators' seven. As a team, Hopkins outdrew Florida, 15-7. Gonzalez's 12 draws broke the program record for draws by a freshman and are four shy of the overall single-game record.

Hopkins followed that with 20 draws in the win at Georgetown on Tuesday. The 20 draws are also tied for the eighth most in a game in program history.

Van Dyke was a three-time IWLCA All-Region selection and was named a Third Team All-American by IWCLA as a senior.
  • Saturday's game is the 64th game for Johns Hopkins against a current member of the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA).
• Hopkins is 39-24 all-time against members of the CAA, with 49 of the 63 games coming against Stony Brook (11), Hofstra (10) and Towson (28). In fact, all 18 of the Blue Jays' 24 losses to CAA opponents have come to the Seawolves and Tigers.
• In all, the Blue Jays have faced seven of the nine CAA schools. Now in its 27th season as a Division I program, Hopkins has yet to face Campbell or Elon.
