Muhlenberg chases first win over Johns Hopkins since 2022

Johns Hopkins has owned this series, winning 13 of 18 meetings since 2007 and taking the last four in a row. Muhlenberg has not beaten the Blue Jays since October 2022, but Versus has this one dead even, projecting a 26-25 Mules win with both teams sitting at 50 percent to take it when the Centennial Conference game is played.

Muhlenberg carries a B+ grade across the board on offense and defense, though the Mules have slid 47 spots in the Division III rankings this season, from No. 16 down to No. 63, and their signature result was an upset of No. 33 Franklin & Marshall. They arrive at 4-3 with a strength of schedule rank of 45.

Johns Hopkins has fallen further, from No. 3 to No. 104, despite grading out at B overall on both sides of the ball and B- in the power rating. The Blue Jays are 2-5 but have faced the tougher schedule by rank, 24th to Muhlenberg's 45th, and own their own notable scalp in a win over No. 43 Ithaca. Johns Hopkins also scores 17 more points per game at home than on the road this season, a trend that could matter against a Muhlenberg team trying to end a four-game skid in the series.
