Navy attempted to slow the game down today and they were successful except that the slow pace they created totally stifled the Navy offense. It was hard to believe that this was the same offense that scored 21 last week against VMI.
Maryland’s defense totally stifled Navy, however some missed open nets in the 1st half did’t help.
Matt Rambo returned from suspension and had a strong 2 goal 1 assist game.
Henry West and Joe loCasio each scored twice.
Maryland was 25-25 on clears but few fast break chances.
Charlie Raffa was 4-7 on faceoffs including 3 violations.That probably won’t happen again.
Summary from umterps.com
Senior Kyle Bernlohr made 12 saves and allowed just one goal in a sensational goalkeeping debut to lead the No. 10 Maryland men’s lacrosse team to an 8-1 victory over Navy in its season-opener Saturday afternoon at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Battling snow flurries for much of the first half, the Terrapin defensive corps of Matt Dunn, Casey Ikeda and Mac Pons did not allow a goal until 6:54 remaining in the third quarter. Maryland (1-0) had opened a commanding 4-0 lead to that point and never looked back.
Junior Henry West and sophomore Matt Rambo each tallied a pair of goals and an assist to lead Maryland offensively, while Joe LoCascio added two goals, as well.
LoCascio scored the first goal of the season for the Terrapins less than 2:30 into the game, firing a shot past goalkeeper John Connors to give Maryland a lead it would never yield. West rounded out the scoring in the first half, twice beating his defender to give the Terps a 3-0 halftime lead.
