Johns Hopkins faces Cornell in NCAA lacrosse showdown after 37-year hiatus

Johns Hopkins men’s lacrosse has secured a spot in the NCAA tournament after receiving an at-large bid. Their first match will be against defending national champion Cornell. The two teams have not met since the 1987 championship final. The Blue Jays entered the tournament despite a recent setback in the Big Ten Championship, where they lost to Penn State. Senior midfielder Matt Collison highlighted the team’s ability to bounce back from tough moments.

Their opening game against Cornell is set for Saturday, May 9, at Schoellkopf Field in Ithaca, NY. Kick-off is at 5 pm, with live coverage on ESPNU.

This will mark the first clash between the two historic programmes in 37 years, reviving a rivalry last seen in the 1987 title decider. The matchup pits Hopkins against the reigning champions in a high-stakes opener. Fans can watch the game live on ESPNU as both teams look to advance in the tournament. The outcome will determine which side moves forward in the competition.
