Johns Hopkins University’s women’s soccer program continues to set the standard in the Centennial Conference, capturing the preseason poll’s top spot for the ninth straight year with 97 points, a streak that began after the 2020 season was canceled due to the pandemic.
A Historic Streak Continues
Coaches awarded the Blue Jays eight first‑place votes, while Swarthmore earned three, reinforcing the team’s dominance in the league.
The Blue Jays secured their league‑record 16th Centennial Conference Tournament title in 2025, defeating Swarthmore 2‑1, and finished the season with a 17‑5‑1 record that included a Sweet 16 appearance.
That performance marked the 13th Sweet 16 berth in program history, all since 2008, and extended a run of nine consecutive seasons with at least 16 victories.
National Expectations
The United Soccer Coaches preseason poll ranks the Blue Jays 15th nationally, reflecting high expectations as the team prepares for another competitive campaign.
The 2026 season will open on September 1 when the Blue Jays host Catholic at Homewood Field, kicking off a schedule that promises another strong run.
