Cancel Flight To Boston – Syracuse Eliminates Maryland 11-6

Bruce — Sun, 17 May 2009 05:27:43 +0000

As soon as I heard Syracuse goalie Galloway was ill and the backup goalie was replacing him, I sensed the Terps were in trouble. Why? Sometimes when a kid is thrown into a brutal situation he either rises to the occasion or his team gets so pumped up to save the unknwon.

To me the first few minutes were crucial, Maryland’s failure to score on their early possessions was their undoing. The Terp’s needed to be on top of this game not struggling to stay in it.

Will Yeatman needs much more stick work practice to effective at this level. Will did not score a goal since the Navy game.

Catalino, Ryan Young, and Jeremy Sieverts carried the offensive loaded fo rthe Terps today.

Whe Brian Phipps went out with that freak injury, I was convinced it was time to get out the golf clubs. Jason Carter gave up 9 goals in 3 periods.

Fourteen seniors played their last game as a Terp today and for that I salute all of them. Brian Phipps and most of the entire attack and defense corps will live to fight another day.

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

Men’s Lacrosse Faces Must Win Situation at Penn Today

Bruce — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 05:49:20 +0000

The Terrapins are at a crossroads today. After 2 brutal losses to Hopkins and UVA, the Terps need 3 more wins to safely place themselves in the NCAA tournament. A few weeks ago this might have looked like a soft game, but not anymore. Two weeks ago #1Princeton needed Overtime to defeat the Quakers and last week Penn defeated #11 Brown. The Terps will probably be without Will Yeatman, recovering from an ankle injury.Most likely Jason Carter will be in the nets. The game is at 4:30 with no radio or TV coverage.

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.

Judgement Day for Men’s Lacrosse at UVA

Bruce — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 06:58:57 +0000

Normally with the difficult schedule Maryland has, 6-2 would be a good record. This year the Terps need to make a statement. They have their chance this weekend when they play #1 Virginia for the ACC Regular Season Title and #1 seeding in the ACC tourney. My guess is Carter will be in the goal and Dave will use every defender on the team to try to stop Virginia’s attack. I will be heading to Virginia for the game. Maybe this is the game the Terrapins’ attack comes to life.

#5 Men’s Lacrosse Rebounds with 13-6 Win Over Bryant

Bruce — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 05:57:40 +0000

Grant Catalino scored 5 points and Travis Reed and Dan Groot added 3 goals apiece as Maryland rebounded from a lacklustre Saturday effort against UMBC to easily defeat Zack Greer and the Bryant Bulldogs. Today the attack was back as a smooth functioning unit. Senior Mike Griswold was given the task of covering Duke transfer Zack Greer and held the NCAA’s all-time leading goal scorer to two goals, while picking up two groundballs and causing a turnover. Jason carter went the distance in the goal for Maryland. Next up for the Terps is North Carolina, Saturday at Ludwig Field at 2PM.

Over at the Field Hockey Complex , the undefeated #2 Lady Terps moved to 6-0 on the season easily defeating #13 New Hampshire 19-7 behind 5 goals from Laura Merrifield. Next up for the Terps is Dartmouth in Hanover on Wednesday afternoon.

Yeatman Tallies 6 Points as Maryland Lacrosse Breezes to a 15-4 Win over Air Force to Capture WWP Title

Bruce — Sun, 15 Feb 2009 05:25:15 +0000

Bryn Holmes wins 11 of 13 faceoffs and again the Terrapins thoroughly dominate Air Force in capturing the Wounded warrior Project Title. Watching the game over a special network, it seemed like the Terps had the ball the entire final 3 quarters. The Terrapins return home 2-0 and face Georgetown next Saturday at 1PM. Some observations on the game.

Whatever chance Air Force had was eliminated by another strong performance by Brian Phipps in the first quarter.

Besides Yeatman’s 2 goals and 4 assists, Ryan Young Tallied 3 goals, Jeremy Sievrts had 2 goals and Dan Burns also scored twice. Sophomore Grant Catalino extended his scoring streak to 15 games with a goal and three assists. Catalino also pushed his multi-point scoring streak to eight games. Florida native, Jake Bernhardt scored twice in front of many of his friends and family.

If you think you will see this Maryland team sit on a lead, you are wrong. The pedal was down to the medal the entire game.

Terrapin Lacrosse Opens Season With 18-3 Win over Presbyterian

Bruce — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 06:35:10 +0000

Grant Catalino, Dan Groot and Travis Reed each scored twice and added a pair of assists to lead the third-ranked Maryland men’s lacrosse team to a 18-3 victory over Presbyterian in the opening contest of the Wounded Warrior Project’s “Face Off for a Cause” fundraising event. Senior midfielder Jeff Reynolds, who finished with two goals and an assist, got things off to a quick start for the Terps, scoring the game’s first goal just 13 seconds into the contest.

Maryland then rattled off nine straight goals to take a 10-0 lead five minutes into the second quarter. Junior Will Yeatman led the charge with a goal and two assists during the run. He finished his Terrapin debut with a goal and three helpers. Also during the 10-goal spurt were a couple of scores from defenders Brian Farrell, who also added an assist, and Brett Schmidt. Freshman Joe Cummings got his first-career goal during the run.

I have had a great feeling about Cottle’s guys and I continue to. This attack might rival any attack in the recent history of lacrosse. Bryn Holmes is the key to this team; if he continues to win the draws like he did today (12 of 14) the sky is the limit for the Terps!!!!
