It marks the second-straight season the Orange takes a 1-2 record into its meeting with the Blue Jays. It is also the first time in 22 month-of-March encounters that both teams enter this contest with two losses.
SU is coming off a 10-8 loss to Georgetown at home last Friday. The Orange won its season opener against Army, but lost a 20-15 decision at undefeated Virginia a week later.
Hopkins, the defending national champion, lost 11-6 at Hofstra last weekend. The Blue Jays' other loss was a 6-4 setback to Princeton at home on March 4, which snapped a school-record, 37-game home winning streak.
This will be the 42nd meeting between these two teams. JHU owns a 24-16-1 advantage in the all-time series. The last time Syracuse won at Homewood Field was March 14, 1998 by a score of 14-13. In its last three trips to Homewood, the Orange is 0-3. The Blue Jays are 6-4 against Syracuse in the last 10 meetings, and have won three of the last four, including last year’s 12-11 overtime victory at the Carrier Dome. Hopkins has won four of the last five regular-season meetings.
