Entering his sixth year at Maryland, Scott Marr has taken the Maryland offense to an elite level. The attack has averaged an impressive 12.5 goals per contest under Marr's direction and helped Maryland reach the championship game three of the last five years.
Under Marr's guidance, Matt Hahn and Andrew Whipple became two of the most storied scorers in the history of Maryland lacrosse. The dynamic duo combined to tally 370 points from 1995 through 1998.
In 1998, the Terps shattered the school record for goals in a season with 236. Leading the way was Hahn with 49 and current student assistant Scott Hochstadt with 48. Both attackers were named All-Americans following the 1998 season.
In his first year at College Park, 1995, the Terps shattered the school's offensive record books. Maryland found the net a then-school record 235 times that year. Marr coached Kip Fulks and Rob Chomo to second team All-America status in 1995.
In 1997, his starting attack of Matt Hahn, Andrew Whipple and Scott Hochstadt each earned honorable mention All-America honors under his guidance.
The highlight of Marr's coaching career took place in Byrd Stadium in 1995. Coaching against Johns Hopkins, his alma mater, Maryland outscored the No.1-ranked and previously undefeated Blue Jays, 16-8, for the biggest upset in the history of the NCAA tournament. On that Blue Jay squad was his brother, David, who set the Johns Hopkins record for career assists and graduated in 1996.
Marr earned his bachelor's degree in economics and history in 1991 from Johns Hopkins. His wife of seven years, Traci, gave birth to their first child, Kyle, on May 29, 1996. The couple had their second child, Jordyn, on Feb. 27, 1998.
