First Day at Johns Hopkins: June 27, 2022

Dorrien Van Dyke joined the Johns Hopkins women's lacrosse team in the summer of 2022. She came to Homewood from Arizona State, where she spent three seasons on Tim McCormack's staff. Van Dyke was promoted to Associate Head Coach in the Fall of 2024. 

In her third season with the Blue Jays, Van Dyke coached junior Reagan O'Brien to a record-breaking season. She broke the NCAA single-season record with 103 caused turnovers and earned First Team All-America honors from all three national organizations. Van Dyke's defense led the Big Ten and ranked third in the nation with 12.85 caused turnovers per game. In addition, JHU led the conference and ranked 11th in the nation with 18.80 ground balls per game.

In 2024, Hopkins finished with a 12-8 record, a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16 and #12 final ranking. The Blue Jays' 12 wins were the most in a season since 2015 while the #12 spot in the final IWLCA Coaches Poll was their best since 2007. Hopkins ranked seventh in the nation in assists (8.05) and caused turnovers (10.65) per game, as well as 16th in ground balls per game (18.45). The Blue Jays also set school single-season records for points (419), goals (258), assists (161) and draw controls (293). 

In her first season at Homewood, Johns Hopkins went 9-9 and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time since 2016. The Blue Jays ranked 19th in the nation in assists (6.72), 21st in ground balls (18.06) and 31st in points per game (19.28).

During Van Dyke's time in Tempe, the Sun Devils went 26-17 with back-to-back 10-win seasons in 2021 and 2022. Arizona State also made its first-ever appearance in the Pac-12 Championship game in 2022.

Van Dyke's Arizona State defense led the Pac-12 in ground balls and ranked fourth in scoring defense in 2021 (12.62) and 2022 (12.79). The squad also ranked third in caused turnovers in 2020 (7.13) and then second in 2021 (8.50) and 2022 (7.11). In addition to her work with the defense, Van Dyke made immediate improvements in the Sun Devil draw control unit. Arizona State ranked fourth in the Pac-12 prior to her arrival in Tempe. ASU ranked third (14.25) in 2020, second in 2021 (16.68) and then led the league (15.95) this past season. The Sun Devils also ranked in the top-20 in the nation in draws in each of the last two seasons.
 
Van Dyke began her coaching career in 2018 at Monmouth and helped the Hawks capture the MAAC regular season championship. She assisted in all day-to-day operations of the program, including planning practices and managing team travel. She worked closely with the midfielders and attackers.
 
Van Dyke then spent one season on the staff at James Madison, helping the defending national champions to the 2019 CAA regular season and tournament titles. While with the Dukes, she developed Maddie McDaniel into one of the premier draw specialists in the country. The First Team All-CAA selection set the school and conference single-season record with 127 draw controls.
 
Van Dyke turned an impressive career at Stony Brook and sits near the top of the Seawolves' record book in goals (5^th • 197), assists (7^th • 71), points (5^th • 268) and draw controls (6^th • 179). A three-time IWLCA All-Mid-Atlantic selection, she earned Third Team All-America honors as a senior. In her four years, Van Dyke led Stony Brook to a 72-12 record with four America East titles and four trips to the NCAA Tournament.
 
Van Dyke graduated from Stony Brook in 2017 with a bachelor's degree in business management. She is currently pursuing a master's degree in applied leadership and management from Arizona State.
