Yesterday , the boys of JHU beat Maryland. Billed as the greatest rivalry in lacrosse , the teams played for the 110 th time ( beware , I could making all this up b/c I'm guessing at the numbers )
The Jays entered at# 9 or 10 and Maryland at # 3 or 4. Either way , Md was ranked above JHU by lots.
The play by play crew ( radio b/c I can't watch ESPN 3 or U , here in Canada ) , quoted the statistic that JHU's record against Md when Md is ranked higher is 13 - 7.
JHU opened slow and Md even slower. Five goals in the first half was all Hop could produce but Md got 1.
Hopkins has the ability to shut out teams for long stretches
Md closed to within 3 after some back and forth but Hop shut the door with 3 minutes remaining
Each Hopkins win means that I squeeze the ' bluejay ' stuffed bird in our window. Yesterday , the squeal ( ? caw ??? ) was glorious
The game was a sell-out
This week is home coming week for Hopkins alum. Timely win
Weather : neato , Dudes. But rain and cool to come
April showers and all that
We have flooding on the Moira R ( sp ?? ) near Belleville E. of T.O. . The river will crest Tuesday unless it rains ( ha ha ) and then who knows.
Have a good'un , as they say
