Nov. 15, 1999

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Under the direction of ACC Coach of the Year Shannon Higgins-Cirovski, No. 25 Maryland advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth consecutive season before dropping a hard-fought 3-2 battle at No. 6 seed Penn State on Nov. 14 in the second round of the tournament. The Terps finished the season 11-10-1, marking the fifth straight season Maryland finished with double-figure wins. Maryland has advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament four times in the last five years.

The 1999 season was an emotional one for the Terps which saw them rise late in the campaign, winning eight of their last 11 games including six of their last seven regular-season matches.

"I am so pleased with the team," said Higgins-Cirovski. "You always hope for more, but at the time we were 3-7-1, I could not have fathomed that we would get to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. We got this far because of the great leadership of our seniors throughout the season."

Seniors Star In Final Season
Maryland's three seniors finished their careers in superb fashion. Lindsay Basalyga (Cincinnati, Ohio), Emily Janss (Brandon, Fla.) and Jackie Mynarski (Somers, N.Y.) all closed their Maryland careers making four straight NCAA Tournament appearances, advancing to the second round three times.

Basalyga closed her career in grand style scoring all four of her season's goals in Maryland's two NCAA Tournament games. As a senior, Basalyga played in 21 games, scored four goals, led the team in assists with six and finished with 14 points -- third best on the team. Basalyga played in 84 games as a Terp, 10th most of any player in Maryland history. She scored eight goals, assisted on nine and recorded 25 points.

Janss, who has had a decorated career at Maryland, was named to the All-ACC first team in 1999. During the season she picked up many honors, being named to the Soccer America Team of the Week three times (Aug. 30, Oct. 19 and Oct. 26). The midfielder was named the ACC Player of the Week and SoccerTimes.com National Player of the Week on Oct. 19 after scoring both goals, including the game-winner to upset No. 9 Clemson on Oct. 17. She was also named to the ACC All-Tournament team after helping Maryland to the ACC Semifinals with a 2-1 victory over No. 21 Duke in the quarterfinals.

Janss finished second on the team in goals with eight and points with 19 as a senior. She also recorded four game-winning goals. After starting all 22 games as a senior, Janss played in every game during her Maryland career, 95, which ranks as the second-highest total of career games played in Maryland history. She also ranks ninth all-time in goals with 17 and points with 42. She served as a captain as a junior and senior.

Mynarski had a stellar season in her finale at Maryland, as she earned All-ACC second team honors in 1999. The senior midfielder led the Terps in scoring throughout the season, finishing with a team-high 11 goals and 24 points.

Mynarski was named to the ACC All-Tournament team after scoring the game-winning goal in Maryland's 2-1 win over Duke in the quarterfinals. She also scored the game-winner in the regular season finale, which clinched the No. 2 seed in the ACC Tournament for Maryland, in the 1-0 win over Florida State on Oct. 31. She was also named the ACC Player of the Week on Nov. 1 after scoring the clincher.

Mynarski scored the game-winning goal five times in 1999, including three consecutive shutout wins from Oct. 6-10. For that great effort, Mynarski was named to the Soccer America Team of the Week on Oct. 11.

She finished as the sixth all-time leading scorer with 58 points and fifth-greatest goal scorer with 24. Mynarski also ranks 10th in career in assists with 10. Her senior goal total of 11, stands as the seventh greatest single-season goal-scoring total and her 24 points tied for the 10th-best single-season goal total.

The Rankings
Maryland was ranked in the NSCAA poll of Nov. 8, for the first time during the 1999 season with the Terps coming in at No. 25. Maryland finished tied for No. 25 in the SoccerTimes.com poll with Baylor and Hartford. The Terps were receiving votes in the Soccer Buzz and Soccer America polls.

The Terps were also ranked No. 4 in the final regular-season NSCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Poll of No. 8. Maryland was behind only No. 1 Penn State, No. 2 William & Mary and No. 3 Virginia.

Terps Fall To Penn St. in 2nd Rd.


UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. --The No. 25 Maryland women's soccer team was defeated by No. 6 seed Penn State in an NCAA Second Round match at Jeffrey Field, 3-2. The loss ended the Terps' exciting season with an 11-10-1 record. Maryland had advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years and finished the season having won eight of 11 games.

One of Maryland's seniors nearly single-handedly sent the Terps to the NCAA quarterfinals. Forward Lindsay Basalyga came up with two goals, her third and fourth of the NCAA Tournament. After a scoreless hard-fought first half, Basalyga opened the scoring as she took a pass from freshman Sally Harrison (Virginia Beach, Va.) and beat Penn State goalie Emily Oleksiuk to the low right corner of the net at 56:39.

Penn State came back to tie the game at one, as Shari Pickett scored on a high shot at 61:33. Basalyga then came back with her second of the game as she beautifully placed a free kick into the right side of the goal at the 74:38 mark. But, just 19 seconds later Kelly Convey tied the game off a pass from Christie Welsh at 74:57.

Convey tallied her second goal in 1:28 as she took a cross from Bonnie Young and scored with 13:35 left in regulation.

Penn State (19-3-1) outshot the Terps 13-4, with Basalyga taking all three of Maryland's second half shots.

"I just wanted to win," said Basalyga, who finished her Maryland career with eight goals and 25 points in 84 games. "I am so proud to be part of this team and very proud to have played for Maryland for four years."

Maryland jumped out to a 1-0 lead as Janss scored off a Valerie Lawrence (Silver Spring, Md.) corner kick at the 20:53 mark.

Terps Play Ranked Teams
Maryland faced one of the nation's toughest schedules in 1999, taking on 11 teams that were ranked or receiving votes in the final NSCAA women's soccer poll of Nov. 8. The ACC featured five teams ranked in the top 25, led by No. 3 North Carolina. Also ranked from the conference are No. 8t Clemson, 15 Wake Forest, No. 16 Virginia and No. 22 Duke. Maryland's 1999 schedule featured four non-conference foes that were ranked -- Penn State at No. 6, William & Mary at No. 10, UCLA at No. 14 and USC at No. 17. Baylor and James Madison were listed among others receiving votes.

No. 9 Is Nice For Terps
Maryland recorded its two biggest wins against teams that were ranked No. 9 in the NSCAA poll when the Terps played them.

The Terps upset then-No. 9 Duke on Sept. 19 in overtime, 4-3, as Sara Gustafson scored two goals including the game-winner in overtime. Maryland also stopped then-No.9 Clemson in overtime on Emily Janss' pair of goals including the winner with 1:14 left in the first overtime on Oct. 17.

Of Maryland's nine losses, seven have come against teams currently ranked in the top 25 (USC, UCLA, Baylor, Virginia, William & Mary, North Carolina and Wake Forest).

Freshmen Draw Starting Nods
Shannon Higgins-Cirovski depended heavily on freshmen and sophomore transfer Sara Gustafson in 1999. Six different first-year players started for the Terps in 1999. In fact, over the Terps' 22 games, 50 percent (121 of 242) of the starting positions have been held by freshmen or Gustafson.

Leading the way for the freshmen starters were defensive stalwarts Lindsay Givens, Carly Viher (Mentor, Ohio) and Sally Harrison (Virginia Beach, Va.). The trio started all 22 games this season.

Up front, Gustafson has started all 22 games.

Freshman Valerie Lawrence (21), Kim King (4) and Dana Jarzyniecki (8) started in 1999, also.

King started her Maryland career on fire by scoring in her first two games. King is the first Maryland freshman to score in her first two college games since Emmy Harbo scored in each of her two games in the 1995 season against Virginia Tech and George Mason.

Winning At Ludwig
With the 6-0 win over Long Island in the NCAA First Round, Maryland is 6-4 at Ludwig Field this season. Since the facility was constructed in 1995, Maryland has dominated opponents at home, compiling a 43-13-3 record for a 75.4 win percentage.
