  • Head coach Tim McCormack welcomed one graduate transfer - attacker Sally Zinsner (Holy Cross) - to Homewood this Fall. Zinsner totaled 133 goals, 49 assists, 54 ground balls and 22 caused turnovers in 54 games with the Crusaders. She earned All-Patriot League honors as a junior and senior.
• The Blue Jays also welcomed 11 freshmen to campus this year. Joining Hopkins in August were Ally Campbell, Sienna Chirieleison, McKenzey Craig, Anya Dunn, Molly Hiney, Brooke Koffler, Maddie Moore, Georgia Pavlou, Mary Pavlou, Zoey Smith and Paige Willard.
  • Athletics at Johns Hopkins is a family affair and this year's team is no different.
• Freshmen Georgia and Mary Pavlou are the 14th pair of sisters to don the Hopkins Blue & Black.
• Senior Reagan O'Brien played alongside her older sister, Quinlan O'Brien '25, for three seasons.
• Senior goalie Morgan Giardina and sophomore midfielder Emmy Haugen are both following in the footsteps of their fathers, Scott Giardina and AJ Haugen. Giardina was a two-time All-American goalie and led the Blue Jays to the NCAA Semifinals as a senior in 1992. Haugen was a three-time First Team All-American midfielder and was inducted into the Johns Hopkins Athletic Hall of Fame in 2013.
• In addition, Sienna Chirieleison's uncle Chris Chirieleison '89, played football and lacrosse at Johns Hopkins. In fact, he still holds the school record for longest run, when he rushed for 89 yards and a touchdown at Ursinus on October 11, 1986.
