As the Penn men's lacrosse team prepared for its upcoming game against the No. 1 team in the nation, several players compared the matchup to an old biblical story. At least Penn can look to the Bible version to see the possibility of an upset. "Hopkins versus Penn might be compared to David versus Goliath," sophomore goalie Loren Flaum said. "They are definitely our toughest opponent of the year." The Bluejays (2-0) are undefeated after recently winning at Princeton and are currently No. 1 in both the Inside Lacrosse Power Poll and the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Coaches Poll. Boasting four returning All-Americans, Johns Hopkins is the winner of 17 of its last 20 games and is 16-1 in its last 17 regular season contests. "Johns Hopkins is playing some of its best lacrosse right now," Penn coach Brian Voelker said. Johns Hopkins is led by senior attackman Bobby Benson, who tied his career high with five goals in a 16-7 demolition of Albany last Tuesday. He is accompanied by senior midfielder Adam Doneger, a 2003 National Player of the Year candidate. But the most impressive feat this year's Hopkins team has accomplished was avenging last season's loss to Ivy League powerhouse Princeton in the semifinals of the NCAA Tournament. Behind Benson's three goals and two assists, the Bluejays defeated the then-No.2 Tigers, 10-8, making a huge statement as to how well the team stacks up against the nation's best. "The win against Princeton shows that Johns Hopkins is poised to make another run at the NCAA title," Voelker said. Coming off their first win of the season against Lafayette last Tuesday, the Quakers hope to ride their momentum from the win into Baltimore and make a respectable showing. "We wanted to get a win under our belt before heading into Hopkins, and we did just that," Penn senior co-captain Alex Kopicki said. "Now we have a clear definition of our capabilities as a team." Over the last two games, the Quakers have demonstrated an offensive explosion in the first half, only to turn ice-cold for the remainder of the game. Penn has scored only three goals in the second half of play, compared to 11 goals in the first half. "To be honest, the second half against Lafayette wasn't great on either end," Voelker said. "We will need to have a more balanced offensive attack against Hopkins [tomorrow]." While tomorrow's game will mark the first time that any of Penn's current players visit Johns Hopkins for a game, it will be a reunion with players and coaches for Voelker. The Penn coach spent a total of nine seasons as a player and coach at Johns Hopkins, including his recent role as defensive coordinator from 1997 to 2001. "I've had a lot of good memories on that field," Voelker said. "Seeing all the coaches and all the players who I recruited on the opposite sideline will be a bit different, but I'm ready for the challenge."
Surrounded by mounds of snow on Franklin field, the Penn men's lacrosse team gave the home crowd what it wanted last night -- a win. The Quakers (1-1) defeated Lafayette in their home opener, 9-4, giving Penn head coach Brian Voelker his first Penn win in his Franklin Field debut. "We talked about it after our last game that we really needed to come out strong tonight and get our first win," Voelker said. "And our guys responded to that and got the job done." Making up for its lack of offensive support against Notre Dame last Saturday -- the Quakers scored only one goal in the entire second half -- Penn's offense exploded in the first half last night. The Quakers scored seven goals in the first 30 minutes of action. Penn also balanced their attack by playing suffocating defense, allowing the Leopards only three shots on goal in the entire first half. "In the first half we really emphasized getting the ball on the net," senior co-captain Alex Kopicki said. "We wanted to hit the cage and make their goalie make the saves, along with getting a few key defensive stops." Kopicki -- an All-America-candidate -- recorded his first goal of the year last night en- route to a team leading three-goal performance. The senior midfielder opened the game's scoring off an assist from sophomore attackman Zandy Reich just 40-seconds into the first quarter. After Lafayette senior Pat Lennon's first of two goals tied the game at 1-1, the Red and Blue would take the lead for good when junior midfielder Will Phillips netted his third goal of the young season off a Luke Dixson pass 4:29 into the first quarter. The Quakers went on to score seven unanswered goals, extending their lead to 8-1 by the third quarter. "We stuck to our game plan today and were able to put a few away early, which gave us a little momentum for the rest of the game," Kopicki said. Also contributing for the Red and Blue were Phillips -- who scored his second goal of the game just before the end of the first quarter -- and freshman attackman James Riordan, who scored three consecutive goals, including two to finish off the half and give the Quakers a commanding 7-1 halftime lead.
