THE 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 147-67 (.687). With a lifetime record of 258-114 (.694) over the last 26-plus 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 (271-146), 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.
UMBC is led by Don Zimmerman (Johns Hopkins '76). Zimmerman has a lifetime record of 115-51 (.692) in 12-plus seasons as the head coach at Hopkins (1984-90) and UMBC (1994-present). Now in his sixth season at UMBC, Zimmerman has compiled a 42-35 (.545) record with the Retrievers. While at Hopkins, Zimmerman won three national championships (1984, 1985 and 1987) and posted a 73-16 (.820) record.
MARYLAND-UMBC SERIES HISTORY
Maryland holds a 16-3 lifetime advantage in 19 meetings with state rival UMBC. The Retrievers upset the then-No. 1 Terps in the regular-season finale last season, 12-8 at UMBC. Prior to that game, Maryland had won six straight meetings in the series from 1992-1997. The teams have played once every May since 1983 and the UMBC game has been the last on Maryland's regular-season schedule for the last nine years, with Maryland winning seven of nine finales.

Lamy has had a stellar year on defense in front of Healy. The senior captain has started all 13 games and been a stalwart. He has also shown some offensive prowess scoring his first three collegiate goals and assisting on another.

Moran (midfield, 5-11, 170) comes to the Terps from high school power Chaminade in Mineola, N.Y. Moran has been a three-year starter under his father Jack Moran on the lacrosse squad.

MARYLAND'S LAST GAME - MAY 5, 1999
#9 MARYLAND 15, TOWSON 11
TOWSON, Md. - Junior midfielder Brian Zeller tied his career high with five goals, including two in a big third quarter, to help ninth-ranked Maryland pull away from a 6-6 halftime tie and beat Towson 15-11 in Minnegan Stadium as the two teams played a makeup from a March 14th date that was postponed because of snow.
The Terrapins moved to 9-4 on the year and continued their dominance over the Tigers, beating Towson at home for the eighth straight time and the 16th time in 20 meetings. The loss dropped Towson to 4-8 on the year.
Maryland, needing a victory to stay in the hunt for a NCAA playoff spot, broke away from the Tigers in the third quarter to go ahead 10-6. A Marc Sullivan extra-man goal with 13:47 left to play upped Maryland's lead to 11-6 before two quick Towson goals by Dannie Ross and Kevin Sturm cut the lead to 11-8 at the 9:50 mark. But the Terrapins got hot again with Zeller scoring two more goals and Scott Hochstadt adding one to give Maryland a 14-8 margin with 5:00 to play.
The Tigers hit a dry spell after Spencer Ford's goal knotted the score 6-6 with 5:51 remaining in the second quarter. Maryland held Towson scoreless for the next 25:44 while building an 11-6 lead.
Zeller got scoring help >from Hochstadt who finished with four goals, totaling 14 in his last three games, has 121 in his career to rank 5th in Maryland's all-time list.
Freshman Alex Poole had his finest day as a Terp scoring his first career goal and assisting on two other goals. Senior Erik Osberg also posted a career high with three points and tied his career high with two goals.
