Rumor: Gary Gait Emerging as Terrapin Coaching Candidate

At the press conference after Syracuse was defeated by the Lady Terps, Terrapin times reporter Mike Fecula asked Gary Gait if he had any interest in the position vacated by Dave Cottle. The “LIving Legend” commented on what a fine job Cottle had done at Maryland and then became awkwardly silent. For whatever reason, he looked over my way and smiled. I honestly believed there was no way he would come to Maryland. Supposedly he makes more money then he would be offered at Maryland. Obviously there still has to be some sting after what happened 9 years ago. But when you start to think about, what better way would there be to cement his name deeper into lacrosse history then to take Maryland to the promised land. Money isnt everything but then again rumors exist that perhaps Under Armour’s Kevin Plank might step into the picture and up Maryland’s ante for Gait. Gary and his wife were always very happy living in Baltimore. The Terps are a solid preseason top 3. Catalino, Young, and Travis under Gait’s tutelage would be intriguing. But remember this is only speculation!!!!

#2 Lady Terps Annihilate Colgate 20-4 in Round 1–Next Up Syracuse

This one was never a game. I was at Jilly’s watching the Men’s victory when someone texted me from the Women’sgame the Terps were leading at half 15-0. What!!!! So the final obstacle for the Terps to get to the final four is Gary Gait’s Syracuse. Prepaing for any team coached by the legend himself is a huge task for Cathy Reese. The road to Johnny U Stadium was never expected to be easy, but I am confident the 20-0 Terps will be more then up for the task.

Student Crushes Teacher as NW Defeats Cuse 16-8 in Lady’s Semis–Audios

Women’s Lacrosse has no answer for the 3 Time (soon to be 4 time NCAA Champion) Northwestern Wildcats. The newest victim–legendary Gary Gait and the Syracuse Orange. Faster, in better condition, more aggressive and possessing Coach Kelly Hiller’s killer instinct, the Wildcats totally dominated Cuse. Interesting fact–Hiller played under the tutelage of Gary Gait at Maryland. Gait is widely considered as the one who revolutionized the Woman’s game mentoring the great Jen Adams and a host of Maryland stars including the then Kelly Amonte. Hilary Bowen scored 6 goals for the Cats and Katie Rowan was totally shut down by the NW defense. Next in line for a massacre is Penn who squeaked by the Duke Blue Devils 9-8.

In Maryland Basketball news, Tyree Evans has withdrawn his name from consideration for admission to the University. Jin Soo Kim, a 6’9″ shooting forward has recently passed his SAT scores and should be eligible to play for the Terps in 2008. The roster still is not set for next season as the Terps await the June testing of Sean Mosley.
