• Johns Hopkins travels to Ann Arbor for the Big Ten Tournament as the three seed. Hopkins will take on sixth-seeded Rutgers on Wednesday night in the quarterfinals.
• Hopkins is coming off a 10-9 overtime win at 19th-ranked Penn State in the Blue Jays' regular season finale. The win pushed the Blue Jays' record to 13-3 overall and 6-2 in the B1G.
  • At 13-3, Hopkins is off to its best start since 2015 when the Blue Jays also started the season at 13-3.
• The 13 wins this season match the most under head coach Tim McCormack. In fact, JHU is 26-10 in the last two seasons. In addition, the Blue Jays' six conference wins are the most since 2021, when the Big Ten played a double round robin schedule. Outside of that, it is the most conference wins since 1998 - when JHU went 10-0 in its last season in Division III.
• This is just the third time since JHU moved to Division I in 1999 that the Blue Jays have at least 13 wins in their first 16 games. In fact, since 1999, Hopkins has had just four seasons of 13 or more wins, and two of those have come in the last two seasons.  
• The Blue Jays started the season 4-0 for the first time since 2014.
  • 2026 marks the 50th anniversary of women's lacrosse at Johns Hopkins. JHU made its program debut on March 26, 1976 at Swarthmore.
• JHU earned the program's first win on April 13, 1977 - a 12-7 win over Hood.
• The Blue Jays made the transition to Division I in 1999 and went 10-4 that season. 
• Johns Hopkins is 510-328-4 (.608) in 51 seasons, including 292-191 (.605) as a Division I program. JHU earned its 500th win on February 21, 2026 at Penn.
• Hopkins became just the 12th program in NCAA history, across all divisions, to play 800 games on April 10, 2024.
• The Blue Jays have posted 40 winning seasons, including 21 straight from 1987 to 2007. Hopkins has also made 22 NCAA Tournament appearances, including 13 in the Division I Tournament. JHU has made the last seven NCAA Tournaments, and all 13 DI appearances have come since 2004.
• JHU has now produced 142 all-conference selections, 90 All-Americans and 11 Tewaaraton Award nominees in 51 seasons. In addition, 21 players have been inducted into the University's Athletic Hall of Fame.
  • Johns Hopkins never led while the clock was running, but that didn't matter Thursday night. Lacey Downey scored halfway through the first overtime to give Hopkins its first lead as the Blue Jays beat host and 19th-ranked Penn State, 10-9.
• Overtime didn't look like a possibility as the Blue Jays trailed 9-7 and the clock dripped near the two-minute mark. But an Ashley Langdon save followed by a Nittany Lions' errant pass gave the Blue Jays the ball. A quick clear and a foul led to a Downey eight-meter, and she blew home her second of the game with 59.2 ticks on the clock. Laurel Gonzalez won the ensuing draw and Taylor Hoss hit Ava Angello on the crease for the game-tying goal with 26.7 seconds to go and set the stage for overtime.
• Penn State won the draw to open overtime but couldn't convert on the possession and a yellow card at 3:19 gave Hopkins the ball and the advantage. And the Blue Jays cashed in. Hoss hit Downey at the top of the fan and with time and room, she picked the right corner to win it for Hopkins.  
• This one had all the makings of a low-scoring game from the start. Payton Wainman sandwiched a pair of goals around an unassisted tally by Hoss, and the Nittany Lions led 2-1 after the first. Paige Willard then knotted the score at 11:25 in the second with an eight-meter goal. Maggie Rezza answered for Penn State three minutes later when she fired a shot inside the right post.
• Downey used an Angello screen to get free and fired an absolute rocket under the crossbar from seven meters out midway through the second. Anna Salerno and Rezza then scored back-to-back goals in a 45-second span to put the home team on top 5-3 with 6:32 on the clock. Just 50 seconds later, the deficit was back to one when Sienna Chirieleison went low-to-high on an eight-meter shot. The score stood at 5-4 Nittany Lions for just over nine minutes, and it was the Blue Jays that broke through. In a near carbon copy of her first goal of the game, Hoss beat her defender down the right alley, tiptoed the crease and scored in-tight to knot the score at five. Kelly MacKinney put Penn State back on top a little over six minutes later and then Erika Ho scored off a skip pass from MacKinney, and it was 7-5 at the 1:30-mark.
• Willard scored on a left-handed sidearm off the dodge to pull Hopkins back within one with 50.8 seconds left in the third. Less than two minutes into the fourth, Hoss scored on a behind-the-back shot off a Downey helper to tie the game for the fifth time. Just 56 seconds later, the Nittany Lions retook the lead on a Delaney Radin eight-meter. MacKinney pushed the lead back to two when she got free in the middle of the eight and fired home a pass from Ho at 5:24. As it turned out, the game was just getting started.
• Hoss led the Blue Jays with a game-high five points (3g, 2a) and Downey added four (3g, 1a). The game-winner was Downey's second career overtime goal, both against Penn State. Willard scored a pair as the only other Blue Jay with a multi-point game. Reagan O'Brien finished with seven caused turnovers and six ground balls. Hannah Johnson and Jillian McNaughton had two each while McNaughton also had three ground balls. Laurel Gonzalez controlled a game-high eight draws and Langdon finished with eight saves.
  • Lacey Downey and Reagan O'Brien were honored by the Big Ten after their performances in Johns Hopkins' 10-9 come-from-behind win at 19th-ranked Penn State Thursday night.

• It was the first time since 1995 that Hopkins had two players - Angello and Mackin - with 80 or more points in a season. The last to do so were Jenn Ward (99) and Francine Brennan (97). In fact, it was just the third time in JHU history that two players reached the 80-point mark.
• In addition, it is the first time in school Division I history, and just the second time ever, that the Blue Jays have had two players with 60 or more goals. The last time it happened was in 1994, when Rebecca Savage scored 71 goals and Ward scored 60.

Angello is the first player to score 40 or more goals four times since Mary Key (2004-2007) and just the third all-time in program history.
• Last season, Angello became the first player with back-to-back 50-goal seasons since Key, who scored 50 or more goals in each of her four seasons (2004-2007). Angello is now the fourth player in Johns Hopkins' history to score 50 goals in a season three times.
• Angello's 90 points last season are the most by a Blue Jay since Taylor D'Amore totaled 105 points in 2014. In addition, her 90 points are the fourth most in school Division I history and sixth all-time.
  • The come-back win at Penn State is the eighth time under head coach Tim McCormack that Johns Hopkins trailed entering the fourth quarter and rallied to win. Five of the eight wins came in overtime.
• In three of the comebacks (Rutgers 2023, Stony Brook 2025, James Madison 2026), Hopkins shutout the opponent in the fourth quarter. And in each of those games, the Blue Jays outscored their opponent 6-0 in the fourth.
  • There are five Blue Jays ranked in the top 10 in seven categories in Johns Hopkins Division I single-season history entering the Big Ten Tournament.
• Among them, Lacey Downey, Laurel Gonzalez and Reagan O'Brien each rank in the top five in three categories.
