Hopkins Women’s Season Preview 2025

The Hopkins women have had a historical run, having won eight national titles in the past thirteen years, including three consecutive national titles from 2012-2014 and 2019-2022, as 2020 was cancelled .  According to Head Coach Bobby van Allen, the goal is simple this year:  “Improve upon last year’s team and continue development from what we accomplished last year.”  The Blue Jays finished fifth last year at Nationals; while most teams would take that as an incredible year, the Blue Jays only have one goal in mind heading into each season.  The Blue Jays enter the season ranked number 1 in the Mid-Atlantic region and fifth nationally according to USTFCCCA.  While they don’t take much stock into that, expectations are high, and the Blue Jays have a highly dedicated group.
