2016 Outlook

Johns Hopkins enters the season seeking their 8th consecutive playoff appearance and first title since 2003. The Blue Jays return three starters and All-CC selections in Clark, Tommasi, and Williams.  Leading the team in points, assists, and steals, Clark and Tommasi are the players that will make the team go. Williams will be one of the team's top defenders and her versatility will make her difficult to guard on offense. Along with their roles on the court, the trio of seniors will help the eight freshmen adjust to playing at JHU. Look for the Blue Jays to be back in the playoff conversation.
