TheJohns Hopkins Blue Jays men's lacrosse team representsJohns Hopkins University inNational Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)Division Icollege lacrosse.Since 2015, the Blue Jays have represented theBig Ten Conference.
The team was founded in 1883 and is the school's most prominent sports team. The Blue Jays have won forty-four national championships including nineNCAA Division I titles (2007, 2005, 1987, 1985, 1984, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1974), twenty-nineUSILL/USILA titles, and six ILA titles,[2] first all time by any college lacrosse team and second toSyracuse in NCAA era national titles.
Hopkins competes withMaryland in college lacrosse'smost historic rivalry, the two teams having met more than 100 times, both joining theBig Ten Conference in the 2014–2015 season. They have competed annually since 2015 for "The Rivalry Trophy", a large wooden crab.[3] The Blue Jays also considerPrinceton andSyracuse, their top competitors for the national title in the NCAA era, as significant rivals, and playLoyola in the cross-town "Charles Street Massacre".[4] Another heated rivalry is withVirginia with whom Hopkins has competed annually for the Doyle Smith Cup which was first awarded in 2006.[5] In-state opponents includeTowson,University of Maryland, Baltimore County andNavy.
In the past, the Johns Hopkins lacrosse teams have represented the United States in international competition. Johns Hopkins represented the United States in the1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam and1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles where lacrosse was ademonstration sport, winning the tournament in 1932.[6] Additionally, they won the 1974World Lacrosse Championship inMelbourne,Australia, where they represented the United States.
In late 2012, the men's and women's lacrosse team facilities moved into the Cordish Lacrosse Center, located at the Charles Street (south) end ofHomewood Field.
The Blue Jays were not selected for the 2013 NCAA tournament, the first such occurrence since 1971.
On May 17, 2013, PresidentRonald Daniels announced in an open letter to the Hopkins community that he was accepting the positive recommendation of a committee empaneled to explore seeking conference affiliation for the team.
On June 3, 2013, the university announced that the team would join a "newly formulated" Big Ten as an affiliate member for lacrosse, effective in the 2014–2015 season. This conference will consist of Hopkins, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. On May 2, 2015, the Blue Jays won the inauguralBig Ten men's lacrosse championship, defeating the Ohio State Buckeyes 13–6.
Up until 2016 theLacrosse Museum and National Hall of Fame, governed byUS Lacrosse, was located on theHomewood campus adjacent to Homewood Field, the home for both the men's andwomen's lacrosse teams. It is currently located at theUS Lacrosse headquarters inSparks, Maryland.
Starting in 1926, theUnited States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) began rating college lacrosse teams and awarding gold medals to the top teams. Johns Hopkins was the recipient of three of these, including in 1928 alongsideMaryland,Navy, andRutgers—each of which had only one regular-season collegiate defeat.[7] From 1936 through 1970, the USILA awarded theWingate Memorial Trophy to the annual champion based on regular-season records. In1971, the NCAA began hosting an annualmen's tournament to determine the national champion. The Wingate Memorial Trophy was presented to the first two NCAA Division I champions (1971 and 1972) and was then retired.
