Freshman attacker Craig Hochstadt scored the first goal of his college career off an assist from fellow freshman Beau Pich in the third quarter of Maryland's win over Dartmouth.
CARRIER AND WATKINS SCORE VS. CORNELL
Two Terps scored their first college goals in the win over Cornell. Junior defenseman Jason Carrier and freshman attacker Nate Watkins got into the scoring column for the first time for Maryland.
FIRST CAREER ASSISTS
In the Penn State game several players recorded firsts in their Maryland careers.
Senior Marc Sullivan posted his first assist as a Terp passing the ball off to Mike LaMonica for a goal. Junior Jeff Shirk also recorded his first career assist and just third career point, handing off to Beau Pich for a third-quarter goal.
Redshirt freshman Mike Morsell got his first helper also passing to Pich for a goal in the fourth quarter.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE FOR MOLLICA
Senior James Mollica scored his first goal with the Terps in more than two seasons, when he scored with 2:18 left in the third quarter of the win over Penn State. Mollica had scored his only three goals of his Maryland career against Radford on April 1, 1997.
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 the game against Duke.
FIRST TIME FOR SOME
Four Terps scored their first collegiate goals in the season-opening win over Denver. Leading the way was senior Chris Lamy, who tallied his first college point as he gave the Terps the lead for good, 3-2, when he scored on a full-field rush with 8:10 left in the second quarter.
Freshman Mike LaMonica had a great debut for the Terps as he scored twice in the win. He took a pass from Erik Osberg for his first college goal with 7:35 left in the third quarter. LaMonica came back with his second marker on an unassisted play with 13:25 left in the game.
Freshman Beau Pich opened the fourth quarter with his first college goal just 20 seconds into the period.
Redshirt freshman Mike Morsell, who missed the 1998 season with corrective shoulder surgery, scored his first goal to close out the scoring with 55 seconds left in the game.
