BALTIMORE: When your are an unranked inexperienced lacrosse team opening your season against national champion Johns Hopkins in front of 3000 screaming Blue Jays fans, you don't expect to win.
The Blue Jays simply overwhelmed the Harvard men's lacrosse team, 19-2. Saturday afternoon at Homewood Stadium, the Mecca of the lacrosse world. And in the wake of the destruction, it's even difficult to isolate the single weapon Hopkins uses to crush its opposition.
For years now, Johns Hopkins has been synonymous with lacrosse excellence. No lacrosse team has won more national championships or drawn the attention that the Hopkins team has. Lacrosse is a religion in Maryland, and crowds of 6000 regularly attend the games.
The Harvard women's lacrosse team the 1981 Eastern and Ivy League champions, the fourth ranked team in the country, and Harvard's strongest team south of Hemenway last year will open its expectation ridden 1982 campaign this morning when they face William and Mary in Baltimore.
On offense, Francesca Den Hartog the womer's lacrosse version of Wayne Gretsky last year (83 goals, 27 assists), will move from first home--where she zeroed in on opposing goalies from close range--to third home. "We want to get Fran the ball," Kleinfelder said simply.
