The NCAA women’s lacrosse season starts this week. Here’s a rundown of the local squads entering the new season.
Johns Hopkins
2019: 10-8 overall, 2-4 Big Ten (fifth)
Season opener: Feb. 8 vs. Drexel at Homewood Field
Eight starters are back to feather the Blue Jays’ nest, including three-year starter Maggie Schneidereith and dangerous Aurora Cordingley on attack. Schneidereith returns as Hopkins’ active career leader in goals (107), assists (71) and points (178).
Named All-Big Ten and First Team IWLCA All-Mid-Atlantic, Schneidereith had team highs of 48 goals, 29 assists (Big Ten best 1.61 per game) and 77 points last year. Cordingley, now a junior, made it a one-two punch with 41 goals and 22 assists. Senior midfielder Mackenzie Heldberg, who missed all but nine game with an injury last year, is back to make it a one-two-three punch.
