April 30, 2005

College Park, Md. - For the second straight season head coach Dave Cottle leads the No. 10 Maryland men's lacrosse team into the 2005 ACC Men's Lacrosse Championship and will take on No. 1 seed Duke. The teams face-off finals at approximately 3:30 p.m. at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

• The Blue Devils advances to the finals with a 13-10 win over archrival North Carolina in Friday's first semifinal. Maryland beat Virginia, 8-7 in overtime, to make the finals.

• This will be the Terps eighth trip to the conference finals. Maryland is 2-5 all-time in the ACC finals with the only two victories coming at the hands of Virginia (1998 & 2004). The Terrapins and the Blue Devils have met for the league crown once before with Duke coming out with a 10-6 victory in Orlando, Fla. in 2001.

• Maryland is the host school for this year's tournament. The last time the Terps hosted the ACC tournament was 2000. Maryland, the third seed, upset No. 2 seed Duke, 7-6, in the semis before falling to top-seeded Virginia, 11-7, in the finals.

Series History vs. Duke
• Maryland and Duke battle for the 67th time (9th in ACC Tournament play) on Saturday afternoon. The Terps hold a 52-14 edge (.788) in the series that dates back to 1940. Maryland's 52 wins against the Blue Devils are the most against any opponent. Eleven of the last 27 games in the series have been decided by one goal; seven of the last 15, including three of the last seven -- all won by Duke. This will be the fifth straight season the teams have played twice, meeting once in early March and then again in the ACC Tournament.

• Earlier this season, Maryland dominated Duke at the Maryland Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex, but the Blue Devils found a way to get out of College Park with a 10-8 victory. All-American Joe Walters scored a hat trick for the Terps, but Duke outscored Maryland 6-3 in the second half to secure the win. Michael Phipps scored two goals and added an assist for his second career three-point game.

• The 2004 ACC semifinal saw Maryland score the final three goals to pull out a 10-7 victory over the Blue Devils. The win was especially sweet since Duke had eliminated the Terps from the previous three ACC tournaments. Joe Walters scored three goals, bringing his career total against the Blue Devils to nine. Senior J.R. Bordley continued his productive streak against Duke with two goals and an assist for his second three point effort vs. Duke in 2004.

• In last season's regular-season game -- a Maryland 17-12 win -- on March 6 at Koskinen Stadium was the highest scoring game between the teams since 1983 when Maryland beat the Blue Devils, 25-7. In the win, Joe Walters had a four-goal burst. Sophomore midfielder Bill McGlone had his biggest game as a Terp, as he tallied his first career hat trick and added two assists for a five-point day. Senior attacker J.R. Bordley also had his most productive day as a Terp at Duke, as he scored back-to-back goals in a 4-0 run in the second quarter and added an assist for a career-high three points. Overall, 11 different Terps scored in the win at Duke including five players who tallied their first-career goals: freshman Mike Brown, junior Peter Ellis, sophomore Ryan Lang , junior Dave Matz and freshman Michael Phipps.

• In the 2003 ACC Tournament Semifinal at Virginia on April 23, 2003, the Blue Devils posted a 7-6 win in the rain. Duke jumped out to a 4-1 lead and the Terps had a chance to tie the game as time expired, but goalie A.J. Kincel stopped Ryan Moran, who had already netted a hat trick in the loss.

• In 2003's regular-season game, which was played a day late on March 2 --due to poor weather and conditions -- Maryland posted a convincing 13-7 victory at the Artificial Turf Facility. The Terps held the Blue Devils scoreless for a 38-minute stretch from early in the second quarter until late in the fourth quarter. Goalie Danny McCormick stopped 16 of 17 shots over a 50 minute span and finished with a career-high 17 saves. Brian Hunt and Dan LaMonica each posted hat tricks and Maryland tallied 11 consecutive goals during Duke's drought.

• In 2002, Duke came back to win the match-up in the ACC Tournament Semifinals, 8-7, in overtime on April 19, as freshman Matt Rewkowski scored with four seconds left in the first overtime to give the then-No. 12 Blue Devils the win over No. 6 Maryland. Moran once again posted a hat trick.

• Duke has won five of the eight ACC Tournament games between the teams. Also, four of the eight games have been one-goal affairs and three have had the score of 7-6.

• The Terps dominated the series from 1955 through 1988, winning all 27 meetings.

• The teams have met twice in the NCAA Tournament with Maryland winning 13-11 in 1992 and Duke retaliating 14-9 in 1994.

Coaching Match-Up
• Coach Dave Cottle has a 7-8 career record against Duke while coaching at Loyola and Maryland. He was 4-4 vs. Duke while at Loyola. He is 3-4 vs. the Blue Devils as the coach at Maryland, but his Terp teams have outscored Duke 69-60 in the seven games over the last four seasons.

• Now in his 23rd season as a head coach, Cottle comes into the game with a 222-86 career record for a 72.1 win percentage, third-highest among active coaches. His win total is ninth among active coaches. He is 40-17 (71.4) in his three-plus seasons at Maryland. Mike Pressler is 220-98 (69.2) in 21 years as a head coach. His win total is 10th, behind Cottle. He is in his 15th year at Duke with a 143-78 (64.7).

Individual vs. Duke
• Junior Joe Walters leads all current Terps in scoring against Duke with 16 points on 12 goals and four assists in five career games. In each of his last two games vs. the Blue Devils (this year's regular season game and the 2004 ACC semifinals) Walters has scored three goals. In 2004's regular season's game on March 6, he had four goals and two assists for six points. He posted the two goals in the 2003 ACC tournament and two assists in his first collegiate game vs. Duke on March 2.

• Overall, 10 current Terps have points vs. Duke. Bill McGlone had his first career hat trick in last season's regular season win. In this season's regular season game he posted a goal and an assist. One goal in 2003's regular-season game and one in the 2004 ACC tournament brings his career total vs. the Blue Devils to six goals and three assists for nine points.

• Ryan Lang, Dave Matz and Michael Phipps all posted their first career goals in the win over Duke last season.

Individual Terps In The ACC Tournament
• Ten Terps have scored points in ACC Tournament games during their careers, including two Maryland freshmen that scored their first points vs. Virginia in the semifinals.

• Leading the way is 2004 ACC Tournament MVP Joe Walters with 11 goals and two assists, including a six-goal, one-assist effort in last year's 12-11 win over Virginia in the ACC Tournament finals. Against Duke in the tournament, Walters has five goals in two games.

• Brendan Healy, Bill McGlone and Xander Ritz scored points in each of the Terps' two games in the 2004 tournament and all three scored goals in the 8-7 overtime win over Virginia in this year's semifinals.

• In addition to the eight players who have scored points in the ACC tournament, two Terrapins saw face-off action last year. Thomas Alford won four of 10 face-offs vs. Duke in the semifinals and took five of 11 from Virginia in the finals. David Tamberrino took one draw in the finals against the Cavaliers. He also took one face-off in the 2003 semifinals against the Blue Devils. Freshman Will Dalton took 11 face-offs from the X vs. Virginia, winning seven and giving the Terps a much needed boost after losing the first four face-offs.

Terps among ACC, NCAA Stat Leaders
• The Terps as a team are ranked among the nation's best in several statistics and have several players at the top the ACC stat charts as well.

• On defense, Maryland is up five spots from a week ago to 15th in the nation in scoring defense (8.0), which is also third the ACC.

• Maryland is 20th in the nation in face-offs, winning 53.8% of its draws (2nd in the ACC).

• In goal, Harry Alford is eighth in the nation in save percentage at 60.0, which is second in the ACC. He is also 16th in country in goals against average with a 7.93 GAA, which is third in the ACC. Alford is also leading the ACC in saves per game at 11.73.

• David Tamberrino ranks among the nation's best in face-off percentage (17th, .579), which also ranks him second in the conference. The junior is also among the ACC's groundball leaders, tying for fourth with 3.91 GBs per game.

• Individually, Joe Walters is seventh in the conference in goals per game at 2.18 and in points per game at 3.09. The junior attackman is also tied for ninth in the ACC in assists per game at 0.91. Walters is also tied for first in the league in shots per game (8.91) and is tied for third with four man-up goals.

• Bill McGlone is ninth in the conference with 1.64 goals per game and is seventh eighth with 5.55 shots per game.

• Checking other ACC stat charts, Xander Ritz is tied for ninth in assists per game (0.91). Brendan Healy is fourth in shots per game (6.91) Andrew Schwartzman is tied for second with two game-winning goals.

Terrapin/Blue Devil Connections
• Maryland and Duke have several former high school teammates suiting up for Friday's match-up.

• Notably, former Landon School products will square off as the Terps' brother combo of Brendan and Ian Healy will face a trio of Duke players in Peter Lamade, David Evans and John Walsh. All four were coached by Rob Bordley, father of former Terp J.R. Bordley.

• The game with Duke is also a family affair for the Hartofilis family as Maryland sophomore Michael is the youngest of four lacrosse playing brothers. Older brothers Nick and Chris played lacrosse at Duke in the late 90s.

Shooting Tells The Story
• Coach Dave Cottle is on record saying that good teams will shoot at least 30%. As it turns out 30% is the magic number for the Terps this season.

• In Maryland's six victories this season the Terrapins are shooting 27.4% (78 goals/285 shots). In their five losses the Terps are shooting just 15.9% (30 goals/189 shots).

• Maybe just as telling is the shots on goal percentage. Maryland has put 165 of its 285 shots on goal in its seven wins, but just 95 of 189 shots were on net in three defeats.

• The Terps' shooting relates directly to their scoring. In seven victories Maryland is averaging 11 points per game. In their five losses the Terps are scoring a mere six goals per game.

Home vs. Away
• A lot is made in sports about the home-field advantage and for the Maryland men's lacrosse team in 2005 it's with good reason. The Terps have played five games at home and five away from College Park (5 road, 2 neutral) and the numbers show a decided edge for Terps when they are on familiar ground.

• Maryland is averaging 10.4 goals per game in its five home games, but that number dips to 7.95 on the road.

• Shooting percentage, which is one of Coach Dave Cottle's key statistics, is another tell-tale stat. In College Park the Terps are shooting 27.7% (52/188), but on the road they are shooting 19.6% (56/286). Shots on goal percentage shows another advantage for home games, 59.0% to 52.1%.

• Joe Walters, the team's leading scorer overall, is also Maryland's leading scorer in both home and away games. The junior All-American has racked up 13 goals and six assists at home, while amassing 11 goals and five assists on the road.

• Harry Alford has been spectacular no matter where he's played this year. The Kelly Award candidate has made 69 saves in the team's five home games with a 8.28 GAA and a .627 save pct. On the road the super-Sophomore has racked up 72 saves in seven games with a 7.49 GAA and a .581 save pct.

Harry Saves The Day
• In his first career start sophomore goalie Harry Alford stopped an amazing 25 Georgetown shots to help lead the Terps to a 13-6 victory over the No. 5 Hoyas. The 25 saves were the most by a Maryland goalie since the 2000 season when Pat McGinnis made 27 saves in a 11-6 loss to Virginia.

• Alford's 25-save performance is the highest total in season opener dating back to the 1997 season. The previous best for saves in a season opener since 1997 was 17 by Danny McCormick vs. Duke in 2003.

• For his efforts vs. the Hoyas, Alford collected Inside Lacrosse's National Player of the Week honors, as well being named the ACC player of the week.

• Alford turned in another 20-save performance one month later on March 26, in Maryland's 9-4 win over No. 19 North Carolina in College Park. Alford made 12 saves in the third quarter alone.

• For his efforts against the Tar Heels, in addition to stopping 12 shots in the Dartmouth game, Alford won his second ACC player of the week award, the first multi-time winner of 2005.

• Anyone who saw the overtime vs. Virginia in the ACC Semifinals would be hard pressed to say that Alford did not save the day for the Terps. He turned away a point-blank shots by UVa's Bud Petit and saved and controlled the rebound shot by Brendan Gill to give Maryland posession that lead to the game-winning goal.

Face-Off Turn Around
• Last year the face-off circle was not kind to the Terps, who were only able to control 46.4 percent of 362 draws. This season Maryland has turned things around, winning 129 of 243 attempts - a 53.1 winning percentage.

• Leading the way for Maryland is junior face-off specialist David Tamberrino. A reserve face-off guy last year (16-32/50%), Tamberrino has taken 138 face-offs and has won 78 - a 56.5 winning percentage, which ranks second in the ACC and 17th in the nation.

• Freshman Will Dalton used his 6-5, 245-pound frame to his advantage in the Terps' 9-4 win over North Carolina, winning six of nine face-offs, all in the second half to help Maryland pull away from the Tar Heels. He gave the Terps a much needed boost from the X vs. Virginia in the ACC Semis, winning seven of 11 face-offs after Maryland lost the first four draws of the game. For the seasod Dalton is 19 of 36 for a 52.8 winning percentage.

Defense Proves To Be Strong • Heading into the 2005 season the big question mark surrounding the Terps was their defense. The entire starting close defense from 2004, consisting National Defensive Player of the Year Lee Zink and All-Americans Chris Passavia and Dave Wagner, Team MVP short-stick D-middie Paul Gillette, and All-America goalie Tim McGinnis were lost to graduation. Taking that group's place figured to be no easy task, but it's proving to be easier than previously imagined. Take a look at how this year's defense stacks up:

• Similar to last season, Maryland has held opponents scoreless for long stretches of game time. Through 10 games in 2004, the Terps kept opponents scoreless for stretches of 20 or more minutes six times. This year Maryland has done it on five occasions, and was just seconds away from keeping the high-powered Duke and Navy offenses off the board for more than 20 minutes.

• Against Georgetown, the Hoyas scored to take a 1-0 lead at the 10:02 mark of the first quarter. Maryland's defense, lead by sophomore goalie Harry Alford, who totaled 25 saves in the 13-6 victory, didn't allow the fifth-ranked Hoyas another goal until 4:34 in the second quarter, a total time of 20:26. Maryland kept Georgetown off the board for a 15-minute stretch following that goal, while the offense built an 11-2 lead. The Hoyas didn't register their third goal of the game until 4:32 in the third quarter, a span of 15:02.

• Maryland pitched a shutout for the first 19:34 of the Duke game, coming just 26 seconds short of the 20-minute mark.

• Against Towson, the Terps held the Tigers to five goals (they had been averaging 10.6 in their first three games) and held their starting attack to just one goal and one assist on a remarkable four shots. The Maryland defense turned up the intensity when Towson took a 3-2 lead at 12:48 of the second quarter. The Terrapin defense held the Tigers scoreless for the next 27:38, while the offense built a 6-3 lead. Towson pulled to within one goal, 6-5, at 11:55 of the fourth, but Maryland only allowed the Tigers two shots over the final 11:55 and finished with a 9-5 win over the ninth-ranked team in the country.

• At Bucknell, the Bison scored at the 12:50 mark of the second quarter and did not net another goal until 2:31 in the third, a span of 25:19.

• In the Dartmouth loss, the Big Green tied the game at 1-1 at the 3:22 mark of the first quarter. The Maryland "D" held strong for the remainder of the first half with Harry Alford only have to make one save in the second quarter. Dartmouth didn't get on the board again until 12:55 in the third, a span of 20:27.

• The Terrapin defense held the 19th-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels scoreless for the first 25 minutes of the Terps' 9-4 win. The four goals allowed was the lowest total for the Terps since limiting Virginia to two goals in Maryland's 11-2 win on April 3, 2004.

• Twice in the Terps 9-8 loss to Navy, Maryland held the Mids to just one goal in 19+ minutes of action. The second span, bridging the third and fourth quarters allowed the Terps to go on a 5-1 run to take a 8-7 lead.

• For the first time since 2002, the Maryland defense shut out an opponent for an entire half, holding Fairfield scoreless in the second half in the Terps' 9-6 victory. The last time a Maryland team held an opponent scoreless for a half was Feb. 26, 2002 when the Terps shutout Mount St. Mary's 18-0. The last time the Terps held an opponent scoreless for two consecutive quarters was also in 2002, on March 23 against North Carolina. Maryland kept the Tar Heels off the board in the second and third quarters en route to a 7-5 win.

• After suffering a 10-2 loss at Virginia on April 2, the Terp defense exacted a bit of revenge in the ACC Semis vs. the Wahoos. The Cavaliers took a 6-5 lead at 3:56 in the third quarter and added another goal for a 7-5 lead at 11:29 of the fourth, but those would be the last goals UVa would score. The Terp defense lead by goalie Harry Alford kept the Cavs scoreless for the remainder of the fourth quarter and allowed the Terp offense time to send the game into overtime. Alford stopped two shots on his doorstep in the extra period before Maryland scored the gamewinner. In all, the Terrapin defense allowed just one goal in 21:36 of action to the usually high-powered Virginia offense.

• Sophomore Steve Whittenberg, a transfer from Air Force, has been the model of consistency for the Terps. A starter in all nine games, Whittenberg has picked up four, five, four, six, and three groundballs, respectively, in the team's first five games. On the season he has 32 groundballs and has caused 13 turnovers this season, which is second on the team in both categories.

• Another sophomore defender who has made his presence felt is Ray Megill. The native of Clark, N.J., was a starter during the preseason, but an ankle injury forced him to the bench and limited his minutes during the early part of the season. He got his chance to start when Sean Sullivan went down with an injury following the Dartmouth game and has made the most of it. Since joining the starting close defense unit in the North Carolina game, Megill has 15 groundballs and 10 caused turnovers in six games. Overall this season he has 18 groundballs and a team best 14 caused turnovers.

• Short-stick defensive midfielders Travis Holmes and Ryan Lang have been stellar early on this season. They have sliced and diced their opponents, combining to force 11 turnovers in 11 games while scooping up 29 groundballs as well. The duo showed their offensive side in the Terps' 14-10 win at No. 18 Bucknell when Lang assisted Holmes' goal at the 1:14 mark of the third quarter. That goal sparked a 6-0 Maryland run that sealed the game for the Terrapins. Sophomore Jimmy Borell has seen time at defensive middie as well and has used his speed and athleticism to pick up 23 groundballs and cause two turnovers. Freshman Jeff Reynolds has seen increased playing time over the past several games as a short-stick D-middie and has picked up seven groundballs and caused one turnover. In the ACC Semifinal win over Virginia Reynolds scored his first point as a Terp by picking up the assist on Max Ritz's second-quarter goal.

• Another factor in the Maryland defense has been the emergence of long-pole defensive midfielder Ryan Clarke, who is third on the team with 13 caused turnovers and is also tied for second with 32 groundballs.

• In goal, Harry Alford has been stellar, stopping all manner of shots. He's played all but nine minutes for the Terps, making 141 saves with a save percentage of 60.3 and a 7.82 GAA.

Terps Strength Of Schedule Toughest In Nation
• According to the Wobus computer rankings, Maryland has played the toughest schedule in all of college lacrosse this season.

• The Terps have played each of the teams in the top five of this week's USILA Geico/STX Coaches' Poll.

• Of Maryland's 12 games so far this season only two have been against an unranked opponent (UMBC on March 19 and Dartmouth on March 22). Dartmouth is now ranked 11th.

Streaking Terps
• Two Terps entered the Virginia game with three scoring streaks, but only two of those streaks came out in tact.

• Joe Walters' point scoring streak is now at 28 after assisting Xander Ritz's goal vs. Virginia in the second quarter. However, Walters' 27-game goal scoring streak came to an end vs. the Cavaliers. Ironically, the last time, and only time in his 44 career games as a Terp, that Walters was held without a point was in the 2003 NCAA Semifinals vs. Virginia in M&T Bank Stadium on May 24.

• Xander Ritz extended his point scoring streak to 12 games with a goal and two assists vs. Virginia.

Here's a breakdown of the Terps' current streaks:
• Walters, who also entered the season with a 16-game goal and point scoring streaks, kept his scoring streaks alive at 9:45 in the second quarter vs. Georgetown with an unassisted goal to give Maryland a 2-1 lead, a lead they would never surrender on the way to a 13-6 victory. Against Duke, Walters took a more aggressive approach and picked up his 19th career hat trick, including two man-up goals. A frustrating shooting day at Towson couldn't keep Walters out of the net. The national player of the year candidate scored twice and assisted on another goal for a three point afternoon. It was another three-point effort for Walters in the 14-10 win at No. 18 Bucknell to extend his goal and point scoring streaks. Walters picked up an assist on a Dave Matz goal midway through the second quarter, but didn't score a goal until 3:41 in the third to give Maryland a 7-4 lead. He would go on to score his second of the game in the fourth as part of a 6-0 Terps' run to put the game away. The UMBC game saw Walters tie career highs with six goals and one assist. In the loss to Dartmouth, Walters scored twice and added two assists for a four-point game. North Carolina tried to shut Walters down, but the All-American still managed to score two goals in the 9-4 win. Like the rest of the Maryland offense, Walters struggled in Maryland's 10-2 loss at Virginia, but he kept his streaks alive with a man-up goal in the third quarter. At Navy, Walters scored his 21st career hat trick to run his goal and point scoring streaks to 25. In the Hopkins game, Walters scored a goal and assisted Brendan Healy's man-up goal to push his streaks to 26. The streaks reached 27 with a goal in Maryland's 9-6 win at Fairfield. While his goal scoring streak ended at 27 vs. Virginia, Walters' extended his point-scoring streak to 28 with an assist vs. the Cavaliers in the ACC Semifinals.

• Xander Ritz is the only other Terp to score a least a point in each of the 12 games. Ritz scored a goal in the Georgetown win and had an assist vs. Duke. He had his best game of the season in the Towson victory with two goals and two assists for his first four-point game of 2005. At Bucknell he assisted McGlone's first quarter goal to extend his point scoring streak to four. Against UMBC he assisted McGlone's third goal of the game and tallied another assist on Ian Healy's second goal of the season. He had another two-point game vs. Dartmouth, but this time those points came on goals, including the only man-up goal of the game and a goal at 1:22 of the fourth quarter to pull the Terps within a goal of the Big Green. Ritz kept his scoring streak alive in the UNC victory, assisting Michael Phipps' first quarter goal. In the Virginia loss, Ritz scored an unassisted goal in the fourth quarter to cut the Cavalier lead to 6-2. A goal and assist at Navy extended Ritz's scoring streak to nine games. Ritz had his 24th-career multi-point game to push his point scoring streak to 10 games with a goal and assist vs. Hopkins. He had another multi-point game with a goal and an assist in the 9-6 win at Fairfield. The junior All-America candidate scored a goal and added two assists vs. Virginia in the ACC Semifinals to send his point-scoring streak to 12.

Terps' 80th Season of Lacrosse
• The Terps boast an all-time record of 657-213-4, dating back to the first varsity team in 1924 (a team was not fielded in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II). Maryland has finished every one of its previous 79 seasons with a .500 or better record, including last season when the Terps went 13-3. The program reached the 650-win milestone with a 16-12 win over Army in the first round of the NCAA tournament at Byrd Stadium.

• Since 2000, Maryland is 65-24 for a .730 win percentage. In the decade of the 1990s, Maryland recorded its most wins in any decade with a 95-47 record. The .669 winning percentage matched Maryland's win percentage of the 1980s when the Terps went 83-41 and also compiled a .669 win percentage.

Walters makes Tewaaraton Semifinal List
