Terps Close Out Home Schedule with first-ever visit from G'Town

* The No. 5 Maryland men's lacrosse team will close out the home portion of the 2003 schedule with the first-ever visit from the Georgetown Hoyas tonight at 7 p.m. The game was originally slated to be played as the season opener for both teams on Feb. 22, but was postponed due to unplayable field conditions at Maryland's Artificial Turf Facility due to a driving rain storm. The game marks the first-ever regular season match-up between the schools located less than 15 miles apart. The teams have scrimmaged each other for many years over the last decade before agreeing to start a regular-season series this season. The teams have met just once in history, the 1997 NCAA Tournament, as the Terps downed the Hoyas, 14-10 at Towson.

* Tonight's game will be broadcast live on WMUCSports.com and available in the College Park area on 88.1 FM.

* Maryland enters the game with an 8-3 record after a solid 15-8 victory over No. 13 UMBC last Friday night at Byrd Stadium. On Senior Night, the Terps' seniors combined for seven goals led by All-ACC selection Mike Mollot (Holbrook, N.Y.), who pumped in three goals and added an assist for four points. Mollot now stands in a tie with Mark Douglas (1988-91) for 14th in Maryland career scoring with 157 points. All-ACC selection Ryan Moran (Setauket, N.Y.) had two goals and two assists to equal his career high with four points in the win. Junior midfielder Justin Smith (University Park, Md.) came back to haunt his former team as he also had two goals (including the game-winner) and two assists for a four-point game vs. the team which he led in scoring last season. ACC Rookie of the Year Joe Walters (Rochester, N.Y.) tallied his sixth hat trick of his initial college campaign and raised his team high goal total to 28. He is closing in on the school record for goals by a freshman set by Matt Hahn, who scored 36 in 1995. Seniors Sean Leary (Troy, Mich.) and Andrew Schwartzman (Owings Mills, Md.) also scored in the win.

No. 5 Maryland: 2003 Record: 8-3 (2-1 ACC) 2002 Record: 9-4 (1-2 ACC) 2003 Ranks: 5th (USILA), 5th (Media), 6th (Sun/WMAR) Head Coach: Dave Cottle (Salisbury `78) Coach's Record: 198-77 (.720)/21st season Coach's Record at UM: 17-7 (.708)/2nd season Ass't Coach: Dave Slafkosky (Johns Hopkins `74) Ass't Coach: Paul Cantabene (Loyola `93) Ass't Coach: Steve Gorski (UMBC `96) Leading Scorer (G-A=P): Joe Walters (28-6=34) No. 6 Georgetown: 2003 Record: 10-1 (4-1 ECAC) 2002 Record: 12-3 (4-1 ECAC) 2003 Ranks: 6th (USILA), 6th (Media), 5th (Sun/WMAR) Head Coach: Dave Urick (Cortland `70) Coach's Record: 260-82 (.760)/24th season Coach's Record at GU: 138-52 (.726)/14th season Ass't Coach: Matt Rienzo (Georgetown `97) Ass't Coach: Scott Urick (Georgetown `00) Ass't Coach: Scott Bross (Duke `01) Leading Scorers (G-A=P): Mike Hammer (13-18=31)

* The Terps are vying for their 26th NCAA Tournament berth this season and have important wins over Duke (13-7 on March 2), Towson (12-8 on March 8) and Virginia (8-7 on March 30). The field of 16 will be unveiled on Sunday, May 4 at 8 p.m. live on ESPNEWS (DirecTV Channel 207/Dish Network Channel 142). The Terps close out their 2003 regular-season with their first-ever trip to Notre Dame next Saturday, May 3. The game will face-off at 2 p.m. ET (1 p.m. local time in Indiana).

* Maryland features five players who were honored by the ACC last week. Seniors Michael Howley, Mike Mollot, Ryan Moran and Chris Passavia (Stony Brook, N.Y.) were named to the All-ACC team. It was the third time Howley earned All-ACC accolades making him the first Terp to be honored three years in a row since Mark Douglas (1989-91). Mollot and Passavia were also named to the team last season. It was the first league honor for Moran. Freshman attacker Joe Walters was named the league's Rookie of the Year. He is the first Terp to win the honor since Howley in 2000.

* Georgetown comes into Monday's contest with a 10-1 record after a pair of wins last week, 12-5 over Mount St. Mary's on Tuesday and 8-4 over ECAC rival Rutgers on Saturday. The Hoyas' lone loss came at the hands of Massachusetts, 11-8, on April 19 in Amherst, Mass. Georgetown (4-1 in the ECAC) is currently in first place in the ECAC, a half-game ahead of UMass (3-1), but the Minutemen still have to play Rutgers this weekend. Should UMass beat the Scarlet Knights, they would claim the ECAC's automatic NCAA Tournament berth by virtue of their win over the Hoyas on April 19. If Rutgers wins, the Hoyas would be assured of their seventh consecutive NCAA bid a streak with began in 1997 with that 14-10 loss to Maryland.

* The Hoyas are led by Mike Hammer, who has a team-high 31 points on 13 goals and 18 assists. The Hoyas have a well-balanced offense as six players have 10 goals or more led by Neal Goldman and Walid Hajj, who each have 17. Face-off specialist Andy Corno has won 62.8 percent of his draws this season, but was just 6-of-16 vs. Rutgers last Saturday. In goal, Rich D'Andrea has started 10 games and has a 6.55 GAA and a 57.2 save percentage.

The Senior Salute, Class of 2003
* Tonight's game will be the final regular-season home game for the Terps' 12 seniors and two graduate students. The senior class was honored last Friday night prior to the UMBC game. The team features four redshirt-seniors in midfielder Matt Brock (Manakin-Sabot, Va.), goalie Danny McCormick (McLean, Va.), midfielder Mike Mollot and attacker Matt Urlock (Lutherville, Md.), all four joined the program in the fall of 1998. Nine seniors will complete their eligibility in four years: midfielder Jamie Daue (Lutherville, Md.), long-stick midfielder Brett Harper (Columbus, Ohio), defenseman Michael Howley, midfielder Sean Leary, defenseman Frank Luciano (Mountain Lakes, N.J.), midfielder Ryan Moran, midfielder Willy Passavia (Stony Brook, N.Y.) and midfielder Jim Sbarra (Great Falls, Va.). This season the dozen seniors were joined by a pair of graduate students who had one year of eligibility left, who chose to play for the Terps, in attacker Brian Hunt (West Chester, Pa.) and midfielder Joe Parker (Crofton, Md.).

* Maryland defeated Georgetown, 14-10, in the only previous meeting between the schools in men's lacrosse in the first round of the 1997 NCAA Tournament at Towson.
