The Hopkins men's basketball team opened its season with two wins at the Provident Pride of Maryland Tournament two weekends ago.
The Jays started the first round matchup against nearby Stevenson University. A balanced attack led by 14 points and 11 rebounds by senior center Andrew Farber-Miller and 10 points and 10 rebounds from senior co-captain Pat O'Connell helped Hopkins to a 75-53 victory.
Hopkins fell in its second game to Hood College 65-62. The Blazers jumped out to an early 10-0 lead and never looked back. The Jays managed to make the game close at the end, but a three point jumper by O'Connell at the buzzer was no good.
The Jays bounced back in their third game in three days, defeating Salisbury 58-53.
Sophomore Danny Gergen had a career high 15 points, and Hopkins hit its last four free throws to seal the victory.
O'Connell was awarded with all-tournament honors.
