acrosse is back. The Johns Hopkins women’s lacrosse team opens its 16-game regular season at home with a game against George Mason at 1 p.m. on Saturday at Homewood Field. Juniors Candace Rossi and Alyssa Kildare will lead the 2011 squad. Rossi (in photo above) led the team in goals, assists and points last year and was named Second Team All-ALC (American Lacrosse Conference). Kildare, a First Team All-ALC selection, started all 17 games last season and finished with career highs in ground balls, draw controls and caused turnovers. The Blue Jays finished their 2010 season with a 10-7 record, doubling their win total from a season ago. They lost to the Florida Gators in the ALC Tournament quarterfinals. The men’s lacrosse team will open its 2011 season at noon on Saturday at Towson University. The Blue Jays will be led by co-captains Kyle Wharton, Matt Dolente and Chris Boland. The men’s team hopes to rebound from a disappointing season when they finished with an overall 7-8 record after a loss to Duke in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals. The men’s home opener will come against Sienna at 1 p.m. on Feb. 26 at Homewood Field. —Greg Rienzi
