Maryland Head Coach Dick Edell

With a lifetime record of 268-119 (.693) over 28 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 (281-153), who succeeded Edell at Army in 1984.

He passed former Cornell coach Richie Moran and Syracuse legend Roy Simmons, Sr. last season and former Towson coach Carl Runk (262) with the Terps' win at Cornell on March 18, this season. The all-time leader is former UMass coach Dick Garber (300 wins). "Big Man," as he is affectionately known, has led his teams to 19 NCAA Tournament appearances (16 in Division I after the 2000 selection), including 12 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.

Maryland's Last Game:
No. 7 Maryland 15, No. 17 UMBC 7

CATONSVILLE, Md. -- No. 7 Maryland scored nine unanswered goals spanning the second through fourth quarters to gain a measure of revenge against rival UMBC, defeating the Retrievers 15-7 on a hot and steamy afternoon. Maryland (10-4 overall) most likely locked up its 24th NCAA Tournament bid and ninth in the last 10 years. Maryland did not qualify for the 1999 tournament after losing to UMBC in the 1999 finale, 7-6 in College Park.

After falling behind 5-3, 6:24 into the second quarter, Maryland unleashed a nine-goal attack lead by Andrew "Buggs" Combs (Baltimore, Md.), who scored three of his career-high five goals during the run. Mike Mollot (Holbrook, N.Y.), who equaled his career high-six points -- set last week against Yale -- scored the second goal of the run to tie the game at 5-5 with 2:43 left in the first half. Mollot then put the Terps ahead for good, making it 6-5 with just 59 seconds left in the first half. After Chris Malone's (Timonium, Md.) first goal of the game, Combs scored back-to-back goals -- including the game-winner -- just 26 seconds apart with 10:21 left in the third quarter to make it 9-5. Malone then tallied his second of the run to make it 10-5. Craig Hochstadt (Columbia, Md.) and Marcus LaChapelle (Severna Park, Md.) scored the final two goals of the 9-0 run to make it 12-5 1:46 into the fourth quarter. During the run, Mollot also posted three assists and LaChapelle had two helpers.

UMBC finally broke the run as Jeff Ratcliffe scored his third goal of the game with 10:09 left in regulation. Maryland senior defenseman Casey Connor (Baltimore, Md.) scored his first career goal with 7:01 left in the game on a full-field rush to make it 13-6. Combs topped his five-goal game with is final tally with 5:48 left in regulation. Senior Dan Hughes (Westminster, Md.) scored his first goal since the season opener against Mount St. Mary's to finish the Terrapin scoring.

Junior Pat McGinnis (Ellicott City, Md.) made 10 saves while redshirt freshman Dan McCormick (McLean, Va.) played the final five minutes and made three saves.

All-ACC For Malone & McGinnis
A pair of Maryland juniors, midfielder Chris Malone (Timonium, Md.) and goalie Pat McGinnis (Ellicott City, Md.) were selected to the All-ACC team by the conference coaches.

Malone has led the Terps in goals all season and currently tops the chart with 22 tallies. He is also second on the team in overall scoring with 29 points. Malone has set career highs in both goal and points in 2000. He set his single-game career best for goals with four against both North Carolina and Johns Hopkins this season. He also set a career-high of five points against the Blue Jays with an additional assist.

McGinnis has emerged as one of the nation's premier goalies in his first season as the Terps' starter. McGinnis has ranked among the nation's top 10 in goals against average and save percentage throughout the season. He currently has a 8.21 goals against average and a .628 save percentage. McGinnis recorded a career-high 27 saves against Virginia on March 31, a mark that was the highest among all Division I goalies at the time.

Howley: ACC Rookie Of The Year
Maryland freshman defenseman Michael Howley (Wantagh, N.Y) was named the ACC Rookie of the Year, as announced by the conference coaches. Howley has been a mainstay on Maryland's defense all season, starting the last 12 games. He has recorded 21 groundballs and helped Maryland's defense to allow just 8.38 goals per game. Howley has consistently defended the opponent's top offensive attackman. He is the fourth Terp to be named ACC Rookie of the Year and first since Andrew Whipple in 1995.

Four Named To All-Tourney Team
Four Maryland Terrapins were named to the ACC All-Tournament team after the Terps defeated Duke, 7-6 in the semifinals before falling to Virginia in the title game, 11-7 over the weekend of April 21-23. Andrew "Buggs" Combs (Baltimore, Md.), Pat McGinnis, Matt Urlock (Lutherville, Md.) and Brian Zeller (Forest Hill, Md.) were all selected to the team by the media.

Combs scored two goals in the championship game. McGinnis made 23 saves over the two games, including 18 in the championship game. His goals against average for the two games was 9.00. Urlock scored three goals in the two games, including two in the title game against the Cavaliers. Zeller was named to the All-Tournament for the second time in his career as he also earned the honor in 1998, when Maryland claimed the title. Over this past weekend, Zeller recorded his first multi-goal game against Duke in the semifinals and finished with five points (two goals and three assists).

Also named to the team were Virginia's Conor Gill (MVP), Jay Jalbert, Mark Koontz and Ian Shure, Duke's Stephen Card and Nick Hartofolis and North Carolina's Austin Garrison.
