Penn State women’s lacrosse (4-8) will host Johns Hopkins to open the Big Ten Tournament at 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 29.

The Nittany Lions will host the entire tournament’s slate of games at Panzer Stadium.

Johns Hopkins is the No. 3 seed in the tournament after beating Penn State last week 13-11. The Nittany Lions, meanwhile, will enter the postseason as the Big Ten’s No. 6 seed.

Penn State sits at No. 18 in the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Poll, while Johns Hopkins is ranked No. 15.

Though the Nittany Lions have not defeated the Blue Jays this season, they have competed well in two matchups. This will be Penn State’s third game against Johns Hopkins, and if it wins, it will face the winner of No. 7 Maryland and No. 13 Michigan on Friday, April 30.

The entire Big Ten Women’s Lacrosse Tournament will be televised on the Big Ten Network.
