Terps Hope to Play Pair this Week After Postponements
No. 7 men's lacrosse missed two games to bad weather last week.
March 16, 1999
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - After losing a pair of games to snowy weather, the men 's lacrosse team is looking to get back on the field for game action this week with another pair of games. The No. 7 Terps play host No. 12 Penn State this Wednesday, March 17 at 3 p.m. Weather permitting, the game will be played at Byrd Stadium, but may be moved to the Artificial Turf Facility if the stadium is unplayable. The game is a make-up of the contest that was originally scheduled to be played last Wednesday, March 10, but had to be called off due to heavy snowfall in College Park. Maryland will have had 10 days between games when it takes the field Wednesday against the Nittany Lions after the Terps ' Sunday game with Towson was also postponed due to snow.
The Terps also play host to Ivy League rival No. 13 Cornell on Saturday, March 20 at 1 p.m.
MARYLAND-TOWSON MEETING RESCHEDULED FOR MAY 5
The Maryland-Towson game originally scheduled for last Sunday, March 14 has been rescheduled to Wednesday, May 5 at 7:30 p.m. at Minnegan Stadium. The game was postponed due to the snowfall. It marks the third time since 1993, that the Terps and Towson have had to reschedule a game due to poor weather conditions. Maryland and Towson had their 1993 and 1997 meetings postponed twice each season.
RECORDS & RANKINGS
Maryland, 2-1 this season, is coming off a 14-3 season in which it advanced to the NCAA Championship game for the third time in four years. The Terps also captured the ACC championship last year by winning the ACC Tournament and posted a perfect 3-0 record in conference play.
Penn State enters Wednesday 's game with a 2-0 record following victories over Notre Dame, 13-8, and Villanova, 13-7. Last season, the Nittany Lions compiled a 6-6 record and finished the year ranked No. 15 in the USILA national poll. Penn State has also had weather problems, having its game against Maryland postponed to this Wednesday and having its game with Georgetown, scheduled for this past Sunday, March 14, postponed due to snow.
Cornell has a record of 2-1 following wins over Massachusetts, 5-4, Colgate, 12-8 and a loss at UMBC, 10-7. Last season, the Big Red finished 6-7 and were not ranked.
In the 1999 STX/USILA poll of March 15, Maryland was ranked No. 7. Penn State is ranked No. 12 and Cornell is tied with Towson at No. 13. In the most recent Face-Off Yearbook Media poll of March 15, Maryland is ranked No. 8, Penn State is No. 12 and Cornell is No. 14. Maryland 's schedule this season features nine teams ranked in the top 20 of the STX/USILA and Face-Off Yearbook polls.
COACHES
Maryland 's Dick Edell (Towson '67), now in his 27th season as a head coach and 16th at the helm of Maryland, ranks among the all-time coaching greats in lacrosse history. Edell became the all-time winningest coach in ACC history when the Terps upset No. 1 Loyola in the NCAA semifinals 19-8 on May 23, 1998. With the win, Edell passed Jim Adams, who had recorded a 137-60 record with Virginia in 15 seasons.
Currently, Edell has a career ACC record of 140-64 (.686). With a lifetime record of 251-111 (.693) over the last 26 years following stints at the University of Baltimore, Army and Maryland, Edell is the nation 's second-winningest active coach. Ironically, the only coach Edell trails on the active list is Jack Emmer (266-141), who succeeded Edell at Army in 1984. ,Big Man0/00 as he is affectionately known, has led his teams to 19 NCAA Tournament appearances (15 in Division I), including 11 at Maryland. He has also led the Terps to three ACC championships and three NCAA championship game appearances. He was named the national coach of the year by the USILA in 1978 and 1995. He was also selected as the ACC Coach of the Year in 1989, 1992 and 1998.
Glenn Thiel (Penn State '66) is third behind Edell, on the list of victories by active coaches, tied with Rutgers Tom Hayes. Thiel, has compiled a 232-144 (.617) record in 32 seasons as a coach at his alma mater (1978-present), Virginia (1970-77) and the Community College of Baltimore (1968-69). Thiel has twice been cited as the Man of the Year by the USILA and was inducted into the USILA Hall of Fame in 1966. In 22 years at Penn State, Thiel has coached the Nittany Lions to a 155-108 record, but has never led Penn State to the NCAA Tournament. In his stint at Virginia, Thiel led the Cavaliers to four NCAA Tournaments including the 1972 title, defeating Johns Hopkins, 13-12 at Byrd Stadium.
Cornell 's Dave Pietramala (Johns Hopkins '89) is in his second season as a head coach. He has compiled an 8-8 record in one-plus seasons. Pietramala was an assistant at his alma mater Johns Hopkins, Penn and Loyola before earning the head job in Ithaca, N.Y. As a player, Pietramala was a first team All-American three times and national player of the year in 1989.
SERIES HISTORY
Maryland has never lost to Penn State in 28 all-time meetings dating to the start of the series in 1924, when Maryland recorded an 8-1 win. Last season, the Terps topped the Nittany Lions 14-6 to renew a series that was dormant since 1980.

Jared Frood (Elbridge, N.Y./Jordan-Elbridge) scored the game-winning goal with 3:55 left in regulation to complete Duke 's stunning 11-10 comeback victory at Byrd Stadium and before a live television audience on WMAR-TV. The Blue Devils (3-0, 1-0), which trailed 9-5 at halftime, outscored Maryland 6-1 in the second half behind the combination of Frood and Greg Patchak (Timonium, Md./Boys ' Latin), who combined for four goals and four assists during the rally.
The teams played to a 2-2 tie after the first quarter as Maryland 's Scott Hochstadt (Columbia, Md./Boys ' Latin) scored his 11th and 12th career goals against Duke.

Erik Osberg (Darien, Conn./Darien), scored twice and Malone, David Rose (Columbia, Md./Boys ' Latin) and Brian Zeller (Forest Hill, Md./Loyola) had goals to give the Terps a 9-5 lead at halftime.
But the only other goal Maryland would score on the day came from the stick of Marcus LaChapelle (Severna Park, Md./St. Mary 's), who completed a four-point day with his first goal of the season with 3:20 left in the third quarter.
Maryland 's Kevin Healy (Manhasset, N.Y./Manhasset) made 10 saves in nets for the Terps while Duke 's Matt Breslin (Mountain Lakes, N.J./Mountain Lakes) made nine stops for the Blue Devils to secure the win.

THE LAST MARYLAND-PENN STATE GAME:
MAR. 11, 1998 - MARYLAND 14, PENN STATE 6
Andrew Whipple registered a career-high tying six points via two goals and four assists to lead No. 2 Maryland to a 14-6 victory over No. 18 Penn at a chilly Byrd Stadium. The Terps outscored the Nittany Lions 10-3 over the final three quarters to earn their fourth victory of the year.
Matt Hahn tallied his 19th career hat trick. Hahn scored at least one point in his 49th consecutive career game.
Penn State came within one goal of the nation 's second-ranked team when Todd Korte scored on an assist from Randy Kleinman with 4:14 remaining in the first quarter. The Terps would rally, however, to score four unanswered goals to put the game out of reach.
Other multiple scorers include Scott Hochstadt, Frank Radin and Jon Kemezis. Erik Osberg, Dan Hughes and Bill Ruhl also got on the board for the Terrapins. Kevin Healy contributed another solid effort to earn his fourth win of the season as he posted 15 saves and allowed only six goals.

MAR. 14, 1998 - MARYLAND 15, CORNELL 8
Matt Hahn scored a season-high four goals as the No. 2 Terps defeated Cornell, 15-8, in a windy Byrd Stadium.

After Cornell 's Matt Wise knotted the score at 6-6 with an extra-man goal with 5:08 remaining in the second quarter, the Terps proceeded to score seven unanswered goals to put the game out of reach. Cornell employed a ball control offense, but Maryland 's depth and top-ranked attack proved to be too much for the Big Red. The Terps won 17 of 25 face-offs, led by Chris Nohe 's 6 of 9 performance and Brian Haggerty 's 10 of 14 effort. Maryland also outshot the Big Red 39-32. Other multiple-goal scorers for the Terps were Andrew Whipple and Scott Hochstadt as each added two. Cornell 's Ian Hafner and Matt Wise scored two apiece as well.

LaCHAPELLE HANDING IT OUT
