Terps Look to Rebound after First Loss of Season
Men's lacrosse hosts Penn State Wed., March 10.
March 8, 1999
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The men's lacrosse team seeks to get back on the winning side of the ledger as it returns to action for two games this week after suffering its first defeat of the season to Duke, 11-10, on Sunday at Byrd Stadium. The Terps (2-1, 0-1 ACC) host Penn State (2-0) to close out a season-opening four-game homestand this Wednesday at 4 p.m. Maryland hits the road for the first time this season and travels up I-95 to battle state rival Towson (1-0). The Terps are featured as part of the WMAR-TV "Lacrosse Game of the Week" for the second consecutive week in the game at Towson.
RECORDS & RANKINGS
Maryland, 2-1 this season after losing to Duke on Sunday, 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 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. Towson
comes off a season-opening win over Boston College, 16-4, last Saturday at
Minnegan Stadium. Last season, the Tigers went 5-7 and were unranked in the
final 1998 USILA poll.
The initial 1999 USILA poll has yet to be issued. In the Face-Off Yearbook '99 preseason coaches poll, Maryland is ranked No. 7, Penn State is ranked No. 16 and Towson is ranked No. 18. In the 1999 LaxPower power poll Maryland is ranked No. 5, Penn State is ranked No. 13 and Towson is No. 14.
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 Man" 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.
Tony Seaman (Cortland State '65) is his inaugural season at Towson after coaching at Johns Hopkins for the past eight years. Seaman replaced Towson legend Carl Runk, who retired after 31 years as the fourth-winningest coach in lacrosse history with 262 victories. Seaman has compiled a lifetime record of 165-73 (.693) in 18 years of coaching at C.W. Post, Pennsylvania, Hopkins and Towson. He has led his teams to 10 NCAA Tournament appearances. He led Penn to the NCAA semifinals in 1988 and repeated the feat four times at Hopkins (1992, 1993, 1995, 1996)
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.

TERPS' LAST GAME:
MAR. 7, 1999 - DUKE 11, MARYLAND 10
COLLEGE PARK, Md. - 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. The Terps took control in the second quarter. With the score tied 4-4 with 9:43 left in the first half thanks to Maryland goals by Chris Malone (Timonium, Md./Loyola) and Jon Kemezis (Crofton, Md./DeMatha), Maryland (2-1, 0-1) outscored the Blue Devils 5-1 for the remainder of the quarter. 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.
Terp goalie Kevin Healy contributed another solid effort to earn his fourth win of the season as he posted 15 saves and allowed only six goals.
THE LAST MARYLAND-TOWSON GAME:
MAR. 7, 1998 - MARYLAND 17, TOWSON 6
In the first quarter of the Maryland-Towson game, the Terps had 14 possessions and scored eight times.
Over that same 15-minute stretch, the Tigers had control of the ball eight times, but Maryland limited them to one goal. That's defense. There isn't much more to the game except for goaltending, and the No. 3 Terps had that, too, with Kevin Healy chalking up a better than 2-to-1 saves to goals allowed ratio, as Maryland romped, 17-6.
Ten different players tallied goals for the 3-0 Terps and 11 were credited with assists.
The game had no sooner started when Scott Hochstadt took the ball out of the deep right corner and went all the way in for an unassisted goal, starting his eighth career hat trick. The junior was on the board again a couple of minutes later.
All told, the Terps had a dozen more possessions than Towson, as Brian Haggerty and Chris Nohe controlled the face-off circle, 17-6. "We stress getting and keeping possession," said Edell. "The other team can't make line switches and they're running backward while trying to defend."
Which is exactly the game Towson was forced to play most of the day. Hochstadt had three assists to go with his three goals and Matt Hahn added a hat trick and an assist. Terp Andrew Combs, the son of Towson football coach Gordy Combs, also contributed three goals.
LaCHAPELLE HANDING IT OUT
Junior attackman Marcus LaChapelle continues to flourish in his new role on
the attackline. The former midfielder, who was converted to attack before the
1999 season, recorded a career-high three assists in the win over Providence
and tied the mark again in Sunday's loss to Duke.
LaChapelle leads the Terps in assists with eight and is tied for the team lead in points with nine.
LaChapelle scored his second career goal as a Terp and first his season in the loss to Duke. For his career, he has two goals and 18 assists for 20 points.
HOCHSTADT GETS BACK IN SCORING GROOVE
After being held without a goal for the first time in 25 games, in the Terps'
18-5 win over Providence, senior attackman Scott Hochstadt returned to the
scoring column with a pair of quick first-quarter goals in Sunday's game vs.
Duke.
The last time Hochstadt, who was tied for second in the nation in goals scored last season with 48, went goal-less was April 12, 1997 against Johns Hopkins.
HOCHSTADT SCORES VS DUKE, AGAIN & AGAIN
Scott Hochstadt continued his scoring prowess against Duke with two goals on
Sunday in the first 6:21 of the game. In four career games against Duke,
Hochstadt has scored 12 goals.
ROSE TALLIES FIRST CAREER GOAL
Sophomore defenseman David Rose scored the first goal of his college career
during Maryland's seven-goal outburst in the second quarter of Sunday's game
against Duke.
EMO FINALLY CLICKS
After 0-4 in extra-man opportunities over the first two games of the season,
Maryland scored twice in man-up situations against Duke. Senior attackman
Scott Hochstadt got the Terps off the schneid on Maryland's first EMO of the
Duke game just 2:42 into the game.
Brian Zeller added another man-up goal with 7:33 left in the first half to put Maryland up 6-4. The Terps finished 2-of-8 on extra-man opportunities for the game. For the year, they are just 16.7%, scoring on two of 12 chances.
TERPS VS. PENN STATE
Six current Terps have recorded points against Penn State during their
careers at Maryland. In last year's 14-6 win at College Park, Jon Kemezis (two
goals, one assist), Scott Hochstadt (two goals), Marcus LaChapelle (two
assists) were multiple point scorers.

COMBS MEETS HIS FATHER'S SCHOOL AGAIN
Sophomore attackman Andrew "Buggs" Combs will be playing in familiar
territory at Minnegan Stadium in Towson. His father Gordy Combs has been the
head coach at Towson for the past seven years and has posted a 41-30 record.
Prior to that, the senior Combs was the defensive coordinator on the staff and
played football at Towson.
Andrew Combs had his finest day on the lacrosse field with his father in attendance at Byrd Stadium, scoring his first career hat trick in the Terps' 17-6 win against Towson
COACHING GREATS MATCH-UP
Wednesday's game with Penn State pits two of the three winningest active
coaches in college lacrosse in Maryland's Dick Edell and Penn State's Glenn
Thiel. Edell enters the game with a career record of 251-111, while Thiel has
complied a 232-144 mark. They are No. 2 and No. 3, respectively among active
coaches in wins, behind only Army's Jack Emmer (266-141). Edell and Thiel are
also among the top ten of active coaches in career winning percentage with
Edell winning 69.3% of his games and Thiel at 61.7%.
Not to be outdone, Sunday's game with Towson will also feature Edell and another great of the coaching ranks Tony Seaman. In stints with C.W. Post, Penn, Johns Hopkins and Towson, Seaman has a career record of 165-73 and a 69.3% winning percentage.

KEMEZIS NAMED ACC PLAYER OF WEEK
Sophomore attackman Jon Kemezis was named the ACC men's lacrosse player of
week for the period ending March 1, 1999. The selection was made by a
committee of the lacrosse coaches in the ACC.
Kemezis led the Terps a perfect 2-0 week as he scored six goals and added two assists for eight points. He leads Maryland in goals, points, points per game (4.0) and shooting percentage (85.7). Kemezis scored a career-high four goals and assisted on another in leading Maryland to an 18-5 win over Providence last Saturday at Byrd Stadium.
This is the first ACC men's lacrosse player of the week honor of the season and the first of Kemezis' career.
HOCHSTADT ON ALL-TIME LISTS
Senior attackman Scott Hochstadt is on the verge of breaking into the top 10
on some of Maryland's all-time records lists. After scoring twice against
Duke, he is currently 11th on the all-time goal scoring list with 95. He broke
the tie for 11th with Maryland's all-time leading point scorer Bob Boneillo
(1977-81) and current Terp assistant coach Andrew Whipple (1995-1998), both
of whom have 93 career goals. With one goal against Penn State he would move
into a tie for 10th on the all-time goal scoring list with 96.
He is also on the cusp of the top 20 all-time points leaders with 122, after a two-goal performance against Duke.
