BALTIMORE, MD -- With a winter storm bearing down on the Baltimore area that could dump as much as two-feet of snow, Johns Hopkins men's lacrosse coach Dave Pietramala announced today that the team's annual Faceoff Reception has been rescheduled for Friday, February 19 at 8:30 pm. The event was originally scheduled to take place on Saturday, February 6, but will now follow the team's season-opener against Manhattan on the 19th.

Rescheduling the reception is the latest juggling act for Pietramala, who previously announced that the Blue Jays' scrimmage against Harvard would move from Saturday (2-6) at 1 pm to Friday (2-5) at 4 pm. It has since been moved up to 11 am on Friday and, as of noon on Thursday, is still on schedule for that time.

For further information about the Faceoff Reception, please contact Kathleen Wisner in the men's lacrosse office (410/516-7479 or kwisner@jhu.edu).
