2 Scouting the Tigers Princeton Quickly: Princeton welcomes Johns Hopkins to Class of 1952 Stadium looking to extend its season-opening winning streak to three games. The Tigers opened with a win over Hofstra and took down Manhattan, 14-8, on the road on Tuesday night. Start of a Brutal Stretch: Princeton s game this week against fifth-ranked Johns Hopkins jump-starts a three-game stretch in 14 days that will see the Tigers play the Blue Jays, secondranked North Carolina and 20th-ranked Penn. The saving grace for Princeton is that all three of those games will be played at home. Schreiber Among Nation s Best: Blue Jay fans will see the leading candidate for National Player of the Year honors this week in Princeton senior midfielder Tom Schreiber. Schreiber has four goals and six assists in two games this season and counts 80 goals and 79 assists to his credit in his career. The number one pick in the 2014 MLL Draft, Schreiber has at least three points in 18 straight games and in 39 of 46 career games. Not a One-Man Show: While focusing on alleverything midfielder Tom Schreiber is a key, it certainly doesn t ensure success. The starting attack of Mike MacDonald, Will Rotatori and Ryan Ambler already has combined for nine goals and nine assists in two games, while four other midfielders besides Schreiber all have at least two goals thus far. Splittin Time: Senior Brian Kavanaugh and sophomore Matt O Connor are splitting the job in goal with Kavanaugh getting the starts and O Connor taking over in the second half. Kavanaugh boasts a 9.00 GAA and a.640 save percenatge, while O Connor counters with an 8.34 GAA and a.429 save percentage. Regardless of who s in the cage, they ll have a young, but talented group in front of them. Head coach Chris Bates starting close defense features sophomore Mark Strabo and freshmen Will Reynolds and Bear Goldstein. The Tigers are much older at the rope unit (four seniors among top six players), where senior Derrick Rabbe is the leader after earning Second Team All-Ivy honors a year ago Schedule/Results Feb. 22 Hofstra W/12-10 Manhattan W/14-8 Mar. 1 #5 Johns Hopkins Noon 7 North Carolina 5:30 pm 15 Penn * 3 pm Villanova 7 pm Yale * Noon Brown * 3 pm Apr. 5 Rutgers 7 pm 8 Lehigh 7:30 pm 12 Dartmouth * 1 pm Harvard * 1 pm 26 vs. Cornell * (N/Bethpage, NY) 2 pm * Ivy League Games Home Games in Bold New Blue: The Johns Hopkins lineup features six new starters after a large senior class departed Homewood last spring. The six are spread throughout the lineup and include Eric Schneider (G), Rob Enright (D), John Kelly (D), Bronson Kelly (M), Connor Reed (M) and Ryan Brown (A). Brown did start four games at midfield last season, but makes the move to his natural attack position this season, and Enright had five career starts through his first two seasons. New Blue II: In addition to the six new starters in the lineup, the overall Blue Jay roster is also vastly different than a year ago. Gone are 11 seniors who exhausted their eligibility and in their place are 17 freshmen. Youth Will be Served: Johns Hopkins is fielding one of the youngest rosters in the nation this season as 17 of the team s 49 players are freshmen and 29 are either freshmen or sophomores. Only nine of the 49 are seniors and two of those nine - Eric Schneider and Phil Castronova - have an extra year of eligibility and are planning to return for the 2015 season. For Starters: Entering the 2014 season, the entire 49-man Johns Hopkins roster counted a total of 132 combined career starts to its credit. Of those 132, Rob Guida (38), Jack Reilly (30), Brandon Benn (29) and Wells Stanwick (17) accounted 114, or 86.7%. No other returning player had started more than five games for the Blue Jays. By contrast, last year s 11-man senior class graduated with a combined 321 starts with six of those 11 players earning 45 or more starts during their careers. Class Rank: The Blue Jays have gotten balanced production from each of their four classes through three games. Each class has registered at least eight points thus far, with the junior (21 points) and sophomore (19 points) classes leading the way. All four classes have produced at least seven goals through three games. Below is a breakdown of goals, assists and points by class thus far: Class Gls. Assts. Points Seniors Juniors Sophomores Freshmen Scoring Breakdown by Position: In addition to getting contributions from all four classes, Johns Hopkins scoring has consistently come from the attack and midfield. Below is a breakdown of the team s scoring from the attack, midfield and defense (D, LSM, SSDM, G): Class Gls. Assts. Points Attack Midfield Def/LSM/SSDM/G What it Means in 2014: Despite the loss of the large senior class from last season, the Blue Jays return 67.7% of their goals (109-of-161), 45.7% of their assists (42-of-92) and 59.7% of their points (151-of- 253) from last season. Must be the Speech: There must be something about the speech that head coach Dave Pietramala gives at halftime that is sparking the Blue Jays. Johns Hopkins was tied with Ohio State at the half (2-2) and led Towson by one (6-5), but the Blue Jays outscored the Buckeyes 6-3 in the third quarter and took that up a notch against the Tigers by outscoring TU 7-1 to put the game away. For the year, Johns Hopkins holds a 17-6 scoring margin in the third quarter. In the first, second and four quarters, JHU is a combined +5 in scoring margin (21-16). Attack Driven: Johns Hopkins starting attack unit of senior Brandon Benn, junior Wells Stanwick and sophomore Ryan Brown will be counted on to lead the way offensively for the Blue Jays this season and the trio has been up to the task thus far as they combined for five goals and seven assists to fuel the 10-9 triple-overtime victory against Ohio State, added nine goals and seven assists against Towson and four goals and five assists against Michigan. Below is a breakdown of Stanwick, Benn and Brown s scoring by game: Johns Hopkins and ESPNU Television: Johns Hopkins recently renewed its exclusive national televion agreement with ESPNU. All Johns Hopkins home games air on the ESPN family of networks with a majority of the games airing on ESPNU. The contract renewal extends the agreement through the 2017 season. Johns Hopkins is the only lacrosse program in the nation - men or women - with its own exclusive national television agreement

Despite missing most of the preseason, Kennedy suited up and fueled Johns Hopkins win against Ohio State with a dominating performance as he was 18-of-22 (.818) and grabbed 13 ground balls in the victory. The 18 faceoff wins and 13 GBs are all career highs.

21 2014 Johns Hopkins Men s Lacrosse Notes Game-by-Game Recaps Game 1 #14 Ohio State-9 February 9, 2014 #11 Johns Hopkins-10 Homewood Field BALTIMORE, MD Senior Brandon Benn s second goal of the game 59 seconds into the third overtime lifted the 11th-ranked Johns Hopkins men s lacrosse team to a 10-9 victory against 14th-ranked Ohio State before 1,338 fans at Homewood Field Sunday afternoon. Benn s goal capped a game that saw the Blue Jays trail early, lead by three in the second half and kill off an Ohio State extra-man opportunity in the second overtime. The triple-overtime game is the second-longest in Johns Hopkins history as only a four-overtime affair with Virginia in 2001 was longer. After splitting the opening faceoffs of the first and second overtime, junior Drew Kennedy won the draw to open the third extra session and the Blue Jays quickly called timeout. From there, the Blue Jays worked the ball to sophomore Holden Cattoni at the top of the box, where he found Benn 10 yards from the goal to the right of Buckeye goalie Greg Dutton. Benn fake dodged top side from the wing and stepped in and to the side of his defender before ripping home the game-winner, which secured JHU s 12th win in 14 season openers under head coach Dave Pietramala. The Blue Jays had taken control of the game in the third quarter by outscoring the Buckeyes 6-3 after the teams battled to a 2-2 halftime score. After scoring twice in the opening 30 minutes, it took the Blue Jays just two minutes of the third quarter to match that as senior Rob Guida and freshman John Crawley scored off assists from junior Wells Stanwick. Ohio State s Jesse King and Reegan Comeault wrapped goals around a Cattoni strike in a span of just over two minutes midway through the period to make it 5-4 before the Blue Jays scored three of the last four goals of the third quarter to grab an 8-5 lead entering the final period. Michael Pellegrino, Benn and Stanwick all scored in the final 6:02 of the third quarter for the Blue Jays, while Turner Evans added his only goal of the game for Ohio State during that same time frame. The Blue Jays three-goal lead held for more than six minutes in the fourth quarter before King completed his hat trick at the 11:31 mark off a nice feed inside from Comeault. An unassisted goal by Johns Hopkins sophomore Ryan Brown with just under eight minutes left pushed JHU s lead to 9-6, which set stage for OSU s late-game rally. Despite scoring seven goals in a span of just over 22 minutes to open the second half, the Blue Jays couldn t quite put the Buckeyes away and Ohio State made the run that forced overtime. King needed just over two minutes to score his fourth and fifth goals of the game and sophomore Gordie Koerber made a nice cut through the slot and Charlie Schnider found him for the equalizer with 3:07 left in the fourth quarter. It would be more than 12 minutes of playing time before Benn s game-winner, but it wasn t for lack of chances for both teams down the stretch. Brown had a goal taken away for a crease violation with 75 seconds left in regulation and Ohio State fired seven shots in the first two overtime periods, including two that were saved by Johns Hopkins goalie Eric Schneider. Still, it came down to one possession and Kennedy, who won a career-high 18 of 22 faceoffs for the Blue Jays on the day, took the one to open the third overtime and Benn capitalized 59 seconds later to end the marathon. Stanwick paced the Blue Jays with one goal and a career-high-tying five assists, while Benn and Brown both scored to two goals and added an assist to give JHU s starting attack trio a combined five goals and seven assists. In addition his work on faceoffs, Kennedy had a career-high 13 ground balls and Schneider had a careerbest 13 saves for Johns Hopkins. King, an Honorable Mention All-American last season, matched Stanwick s six points with his five-goal, one-assist effort. Comeault and Carter Brown both added one goal and one assist and Dutton posted 11 saves in goal for the Buckeyes, who matched the Blue Jays on ground balls (30-30) and were a perfect 21-for-21 on clears. Notes: Johns Hopkins is now 17-3 all-time in the month of February and has won 13 straight games in this month Johns Hopkins is now 5-0 all-time against Ohio State JHU improved to in overtime under head coach Dave Pietramala Brandon Benn extended his goal-scoring streak to 17 games the fourth-longest active streak in the nation. #14 Ohio State (0-1) /9 #11 Johns Hopkins (1-0) /10 Goals: O: King-5, Evans, Comeault, Brown, Koerber.

Game 2 Towson-8 February 15, 2014 #11 Johns Hopkins-15 Homewood Field BALTIMORE, MD The 11th-ranked Johns Hopkins men s lacrosse team got four goals from senior Brandon Benn, sophomore Ryan Brown and freshman John Crawley and one goal and five assists from junior Wells Stanwick as the Blue Jays powered past visiting Towson, 15-8, at blustery Homewood Field Saturday afternoon. The Blue Jays move to 2-0 on the year with the win, while the Tigers slips to 1-1. The Tigers led 5-3 after Greg Cuccinello scored three straight goals for Towson to cap a 4-0 run that bridged the first and second quarters and took jut over seven minutes. Brown answered with the first of his four goals just 45 seconds after Cuccinello completed his first-half hat trick and that ignited a 10-1 Blue Jay run that extended through the end of the third quarter. Stanwick and Brown added unassisted goals 76 seconds apart shortly after Brown s initial goal to give the Blue Jays a 6-5 lead at the half, but Towson s Max Siskind drew the Tigers even just over a minute into the third quarter when he took a pass from Ryan Drenner and dipped inside his defender just above the goal line and scored from in tight. From there, it was all Johns Hopkins. Brown completed his hat trick just over a minute after Siskind scored and Crawley dodged from behind the goal on consecutive possessions and scored both times to give the Blue Jays their first three-goal lead at 9-6. Six days ago the Blue Jays scored six times in the third quarter of a 10-9 triple overtime win against Ohio State. This week, Brown s strike and Crawley s pair jump-started a seven-goal third quarter for the Blue Jays, who got another goal from Brown and one each from Holden Cattoni, Benn and freshman Kieran Eissler before the end of the period to push the lead to 13-6 entering the fourth quarter. Stanwick assisted on Brown s first goal of the quarter and the goals by Benn and Eissler. Eissler s goal was the first of his career. Mike Lowe and Cuccinello sandwiched goals around two more Benn strikes in the fourth quarter as the Blue Jays put the finishing touches on their 19th consecutive victory over the Tigers. A seven-goal Johns Hopkins victory was the last thing anyone at Homewood Field thought they d see early on as Towson dug out of an early 2-0 hole (courtesy of Crawley s first two goals in the opening seven minutes) with a 5-1 run that bridged the first and second quarters and covered exactly 12 minutes. Freshman Joe Seider ripped one home from 12 yards to slice the 2-0 deficit in half, only to have Benn answer with an extra-man goal late in the first quarter. Junior Justin Mabus again made it a one goal game when he split a pair of defenders and beat Blue Jay goalie Eric Schneider from six yards out to make it 3-2 Johns Hopkins at the end of the first quarter. The one-goal Blue Jay lead was a two-goal deficit 6:01 into the second quarter as Cuccinello scored twice in a 41-second span early in the quarter and then picked the far post at the 8:59 mark to give the Tigers the 5-3 lead. The 3-0 Blue Jay run to end the first half followed shortly after and set the stage for the pivotal third quarter, which saw the Blue Jays hold decisive advantages in goals (7-1), shots (21-2), ground balls (12-4) and faceoffs (8-1). Crawley is the first Johns Hopkins freshman midfielder to score four goals in a game since Paul Rabil had four in a overtime victory at Syracuse on March

22 2014 Johns Hopkins Men s Lacrosse Notes Game-by-Game Recaps 18, Brown s four goal and six points were both career highs, while Stanwick matched his career high with five assists for the second consecutive game. The four goals for Benn mark his eight career four-goal game. Towson got an early spark from faceoff specialist Conor Pequigney, who won 5-of-6 faceoffs in the first quarter, but Johns Hopkins Drew Kennedy rebounded from the slow start and won 16-of-23 faceoffs and added 10 ground balls in the victory. Cuccinello led the Tigers with his four goals and Drenner added three assists, but Seider and Thomas DeNapoli, who combined for seven goals and two assists in Towson s 11-8 win over High Point in the season opener, were held to a combined one goal and two assists. Despite the loss, sophomore goalie Tyler White was strong in goal for the Tigers as he posted 18 saves.

Benn, Guida and Cattoni all scored twice for the Blue Jays, who also got the one goal and three assists from Stanwick. The Blue Jay defense held Michigan s starting attack and first midfield to a combined two goals and no assists on 18 shots.

Game 3 Michigan-5 February 22, 2014 #8 Johns Hopkins-14 Homewood Field BALTIMORE, MD The eighth-ranked Johns Hopkins men s lacrosse team jumped out to a 9-1 halftime lead and had 11 different players score as the Blue Jays eased past visiting Michigan, 14-5, at Homewood Field Saturday afternoon. The Blue Jays improve to 3-0 on the year, while the Wolverines slip to 2-2. The win was the 150th for Dave Pietramala as the head coach at Johns Hopkins and it came in his 200th game as the head coach at Homewood. He is now as the head coach at Johns Hopkins and overall. Hopkins sprinted out to a 6-0 lead after the opening 15 minutes as five different players found the back of the net. Junior Michael Pellegrino s transition goal opened the scoring less than two minutes into the game and JHU added five more goals on 13 first-quarter shots to push out to the early six-goal lead. Junior Wells Stanwick assisted on Pellegrino s goal, added a strike of his own four minutes later and got the helper on Brandon Benn s second goal of the quarter in the final minute to fuel the early run, which also included unassisted goals from midfielders Bronson Kelly and John Crawley. Doug Bryant broke a game-opening Wolverine scoring drought that reached more than 21 minutes when he fired home an unassisted goal at the 9:21 mark of the second quarter, but a three-goal Blue Jay run that took less than two minutes midway through the period effectively put the game away. A pair of Holden Cattoni goals, including one while the Blue Jays were on the extra-man, and a strike from senior midfielder Rob Guida accounted for JHU s second-quarter scoring and gave JHU the eight-goal halftime lead. Michigan eventually outshot the Blue Jays 41-36, but the Blue Jay defense did a great job of pushing the Wolverines to their off-hand and tough angles. Senior goalie Eric Schneider posted eight of his career-high 19 saves in the first half as the Blue Jays built their lead. Schneider s 19 saves are the most by a Johns Hopkins player since Pierce Bassett had 20 in a win against then eighth-ranked Loyola on May 8, The Blue Jays nearly matched their three-goal second-quarter run with a threegoal flurry in the third quarter that took just under three minutes and included Guida s second and goals by sophomore Ryan Brown and freshman Cody Radziewicz. Guida s goal with just over 10 minutes remaining gave the Blue Jays a 12-1 lead. Michigan won the statistical battle over the final 20 minutes of the game and
