By clinching the divisional bid to nationals, the Lady Jays will take on the Cabrini College Cavaliers (14-3) in the first round when they head to Mary Washington College this weekend. The Cavaliers will put up a great fight for the Jays, having won the last four straight PAC titles, and Hopkins will certainly be taking their best game to Fredericksburg, Va. The match is set for 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 2, and the winner will then face The College of New Jersey (12-6) at 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 3. On the other side of the tournament, Methodist (20-3) will take on Elizabethtown (13-3) in the first round, and the winners of that will host Mary Washington (20-3) on Saturday.

Looking ahead to the weekend, the Lady Jays have some great statistics to pump themselves up for this year's play-offs. In 2007, Hopkins made its first appearance in the NCAA tournament, and they beat Moravian in the first round. Unfortunately, they fell to Mary Washington in the second, and the ladies are ready for a rematch. On the coaching side, this is the Jays' fourth consecutive season in which they have won 10 or more games under head coach Chuck Willenborg, who has the most wins in program history. He has led his squads to an amazing 58-15 record in only four seasons, and hopes to add a national title to that impressive statistic this weekend.
