Joey Epstein plans to double-major in political science and philosophy at Johns Hopkins.
That also mirrors his approach to lacrosse — focusing on the technical aspects of the game while thinking outside the box to become an exceptional player.
The Blue Jays’ sophomore is already widely regarded as one of the top attackmen in college lacrosse. Last season, Epstein set Johns Hopkins freshmen records with 48 goals and 73 points, which also led the team. He earned first-team All-Big Ten and third-team USILA All-America honors and was the conference’s Freshman of the Year.
“Joey did a nice job for us last season as he was able to step in and make a strong contribution as a freshman,” Hopkins coach Dave Pietramala said. “His passion for the game and tremendous work ethic are contagious and have helped to inspire his peers to invest more on a daily basis. We are excited to watch him continue to develop as a player and team leader.”
