MASON, Ohio – Johns Hopkins has conducted one of the most vigorous and unusual title defenses in Division III history.  As I wrote in my men’s preview, the typical DIII regular season involves less traveling than an NBA game and about as much excitement as an NBA game involving the Sixers.  After dominating the division for two full years, the Blue Jays raced against some of the very best competition in DI and DII, facing off with vaunted squads like Georgetown, Michigan, Florida State, Adams State, and Grand Valley State at Paul Short, the Battle in Beantown, and Oshkosh.
