Stay low and under control with your butt back.
Deter the attackman from his strong hand by shading with your outside foot, but don’t over-commit to one side.

How Hopkins All-American Tucker Durkin shuts down dodgers behind the goal
>> WHAT I DO
KNOW MY GUY
Tony Resch, my defensive coach at La Salle (Pa.), always said: “Know the guy you’re playing.” Studying the way he sets up his move or roll dodge when he stops his feet at “X,” or how he holds his stick in a certain hand — you just watch him dodge and dodge, and you write down notes as you go. I prepared most for Steele Stanwick. He has a deep arsenal of moves.
EAT
HUMBLE PIE
STAY SECRETIVE
A lot of people say I’m quiet. I would say I like to choose my words wisely. I’m the last guy you’d hear boasting about anything I’ve done. It’s not who I am. It’s not how I’ve been raised. I pride myself on working hard, and trying to help the team in any way I can. I’m not concerned with awards or telling people what I’ve accomplished.
I’m a political science major. I like learning about the past, different cultures and governments, or conflicts in the international system. I feel more cultured and more intelligent. I’m thinking about government or state department work. FBI or Secret Service would be ideal down the road.
MY GOLF
GAME I’m a big golfer. I got involved at
Turn him back, forcing him down the line and back toward “X,” by swinging your hips
around. This is called “closing the gate.”
a very young age. I’m a big hitter; I hit pretty far, though not always accurate. My skill set comes from the long ball off the tee. After college, I’d like to get back into golf. There are still some courses I’d like to play.
MY GUILTY
PLEASURE Sushi dates with Lee Coppersmith.
We go to Sushi Hana, which I was introduced to by Matt Drennan, who was my big brother at Hopkins — a program where seniors are paired with freshmen. Lee was introduced shortly thereafter. I always get the tango roll. It’s funny, because coach Pietramala calls me a “meat and potatoes” guy.
>> MY FAVORITE LIFT
I’m a bench-presser. Rob Enright is always chirping at me saying he’s going to catch me, but it hasn’t happened yet, although John Greeley has been out-benching me recently. I’ve always enjoyed lifting weights, ever since I started early in high school, and it’s something I think gives me an advantage, being stronger than guys.
