2013 Outlook
The Blue Jays will return two of the five starters to this year’s lineup, including Vassila who is just 13 blocks shy of the career block record. She ended the 2011-12 season averaging 10.8 ppg, 9.7 rpg and 2.4 blocks a game. Joining Vassila in the frontcourt is fellow classmate Sarah Higbee. Hopkins will look to Vassila and Higbee's experience combined with the high-energy underclassmen and four strong freshmen recruits to lead the Blue Jays to compete for the conference crown and take them into the NCAA tournament once again in the 2012-13 season.
Goldfarb Gymnasium was named for Larry Goldfarb, an alumnus of Johns Hopkins, and was constructed in 1934. The main gymnasium houses the competition sites for Basketball, Volleyball, Wrestling, and large Fencing meets. Given a new Robin Sport Impact floor and bleacher seating, Goldfarb offers a spectacular venue for a capacity of 1,100.
