The Game: Top-seeded Johns Hopkins (14-0) takes on fourth-seeded Virginia in the semifinals of the 2005 NCAA Men s Lacrosse Championships. The game is scheduled for approximately 2:00 pm at Philadelphia s Lincoln Financial Field. Last Time Out: Johns Hopkins cruised to its fourth straight Final Four appearance with a convincing 19-9 win over eighth-seeded Massachusetts in the NCAA Quarterfinals at Homewood Field. In a game it never trailed, fourth-seeded Virginia held off fifth-seeded Navy, 10-8 at Homewood Field. Both games were played on Saturday, May 21. These are the Facts: Johns Hopkins enters this week s game with an all-time record of (.760) in 118 seasons of play. The Blue Jays own seven NCAA Championships, 29 USILA titles and six ILA titles for a total of 42 national championships. JHU Ties Victories Record: The win over Massachusetts was JHU s 14th of the season, which ties the school record for most victories in a season.

Seeking Perfection: While the Blue Jays didn t enter the season with a goal of going undefeated, they are now just two wins shy of pulling off the daunting task. Only twice since the NCAA Tournament debuted in 1971 have the Blue Jays gone through a season undefeated (1979/13-0 and 1984/14-0). Since the program was formed in 1883 Johns Hopkins has gone through a season undefeated and untied just eight times (1906, 1926, 1927, 1932, 1933, 1941, 1979, 1984) Johns Hopkins Men s Lacrosse Schedule/Results Date Opponent Time/Result Notes Mar. #3 Princeton W/9-6 Blue Jays open game with 6-0 run - Byrne (3g, 1a), Barrie and Harrison (1g, 2a) 8 UMBC W/9-6 Greg Peyser career high four goals, Harrison (2g, 2a), Jake Byrne (1g, 1a) 12 Hofstra W/11-5 Benson career high three goals & four points, Braun 13-of-15 on faceoffs, G.
