Maryland placed four players on the 2009 USILA Men’s Lacrosse All-America teams, which were announced Thursday. Sophomores Ryan Young and Max Schmidt earned second and third team honors, respectively, while sophomore Grant Catalino and senior Dan Groot were honorable mention selections.

Young earns his first All-America honor and was the catalyst of the Maryland offense throughout the 2009 season. The attackman, who is a native of Massapequa, N.Y., finished the season second on the team in points with 40 on 19 goals and 21 assists. He led all Terp starters with a 38.8 shooting percentage and has put 73.5 percent of his shots on goal. Check out more on the Maryland website.

Before I get into my analysis for the game today listen ot an excellent preview of the game on CBS radio syracusemarylandpreview Why I believe the Terps will be victorious today.

In the past 3 NCAA playoff games the Dave Cottle has gotten his guys off to a fast start. Maryland will come out on all cylinders , get the lead and take Cuse out of its comfort zone.

Maryland will win the groundball and faceoff battles.

Brian Phipps will continue to play inspired ball, with pinpoint clears.

Dan Groot will step , score 3 and lead the Terps to a 9-7 victory!!!!!

Captain Dan Groot Looming as Key to Terrapin Victory Over Syracuse

Bruce — Fri, 15 May 2009 06:34:27 +0000

Dan Groot appeared on Terp talk last night in segment 1. He is a cool, collected leader of the team. It seems that over his career Dan has been the go to guy when the Terps back is up against the wall. I remember his stunning overtime goal against Navy 2 years ago.This year he scored 3 against Carolina in a must win situation. Check out the Sun’s article on Dan Friday morning.

My 3 factors for Victory over Syracuse:

1-Byrn Holmes must win the face off battle

2-Maryland needs a healthy ground ball advantage

3-Brian Phipps

More tomorrow.

Judgement Day for Men’s Lacrosse—Win Needed Over North Carolina to Assure NCAA Bid

Bruce — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 05:13:02 +0000

Will Yeatman is back tonight for the final 2009 push fot the Men’s lacrosse team. Jason Carter will be in the nets. Even though Inside lacrosse already has the Terps in the 16 team NCAA field, Coach Cottle believes a win is necessary to guarantee the bid. The game is 5PM at Kenan Field in North Carolinand can be seen on ACC Select. Maryland won a hard fought battle 8-7 in College Park earlier in the season. The Terrapins are coming off a strong 9-2 victory over Penn last Saturday. LOOK FOR THE TERRAPINS TO DOMINATE THIS GAME AND WIN 11-7!!!

Three Terps were named to the ALL ACC squad yesterday. Senior Middie Dan Groot, Attackman Ryan Young, and Defenseman Max Schmidt grabbed the honors.

Groot, Phipps Lead Terps to a 9-2 Romp Over Feisty Penn

Bruce — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 05:26:51 +0000

It’s hard to comment onthis game because there wasn’t on any electrtonic media coverage but judging by the score 2 tings are clear, Maryland knew the importance of this game and the Terps played stifling defense limiting a very hot Penn team to only 2 goals. Brian Phipps started again, played 3 periods and had 8 saves. Dan Groot scored 3 times as Maryland awaits next Friday night’s game against Carolina in the ACC Tournament. The Terrapins might just need a win over the Tar Heels to insure a NCAA berth.

The #2 Lady Terps moved to 16-0 today, thrashing the Hokies 16-6. In a game that might tell the tale of the NCAA tourney, UVA plays host to the #1 and 4 time defending champ, Northwestern Wildcats. Kelly Amonte Hiller’s team have been steamrolling over all opponents

Seniors Lead Men’s Lacrosse to East 15-6 Win Over Binghamton—#2 Lady Terps Explode for 14 Second Goals to Surge Past Stubborn Hopkins 18-12

Bruce — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 04:05:34 +0000

Certainly this was a game the Men’s Lacrosse team needed. Coach Cottle spread the minutes among the entire team as Binghamton was no match for the Terps who are now 7-5. The Terps travel to Penn this Saturtuday for a 4:30 match with the Quakers at historic Franklin Field.

Karri Ellen Johnson scored 5 goals leading the Lady Terps to a come from behind victory over Johns Hopkins today. The Lady Terps came out flat and the Lady Bluejays came out hungry. The result was a 5-4 halftime lead for JHU. But the Terps came alive in the 2nd half to move their record to 15-0. Maryland is now 11-0 against Hopkins.

More Thoughts on Saturday’s Lacrosse Loss to Johns Hopkins

Bruce — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 05:08:12 +0000

It seemed like the offense looked more cohesive early on without Yeatman. I wonder what Dave Cottle thought and how will he bring Will back into the lineup Tuesday.

Looking ahead, the Terrapins have 3 games left that barring something strange whould be in the win column–Binghamton, Penn, and Yale. That would give them 9 wins. Coming up will be the ACC Tournament. Even a first round loss will leave the Terps at 9-6 which should be enought to get in. On the hand, there is no reason the Terps can’t win the Championship, a dynamic which I am beginning to believe might happen.

Cottle was very optimistic after the game Saturday. can the breaks keep going against the Terps. the UVA game still lingers in my memory.

I thought Brian Phipps played great Saturday. Is it Jason Carter on Tuesday?

Yesterday I forgot to mention that defenseman Mac Schmidt held Hopkins great Stephen Boyle scoreless.
