Maryland women top Duke to reach Final Four

Posted on 18 May 2013 by WNST Staff

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - Senior Tewaaraton finalist Alex Aust led top-seeded Maryland to a 14-9 victory over Duke in the quarterfinals of the 2013 NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Championship Saturday.

With the win, the Terps (21-0) punched their ticket to a fifth-straight national semifinal and will face Syracuse Friday at Villanova Stadium. Aust recorded five goals and added two assists. The Sterling, Va., native also moved into third all-time in points (119) in single season history at Maryland.

After being stymied in the beginning of the Stony Brook match in the second round, the Terps wasted no time getting their attack rolling against the Blue Devils, notching the first two tallies of the game in the first seven minutes of play. Brooke Griffin and Halle Majorana put Maryland up with a pair of unassisted scores before Duke landed on the scoreboard with a goal at 20:25.

A pair of goals at 19:13 and 14:52 by Aust and fellow attacker Kristen Lamon extended the Terrapin lead to 4-1 before the two teams exchanged goals twice for a 6-3 score with five minutes remaining. The Terps would outscore Duke 2-1 down the stretch in the first half to carry a solid 8-4 cushion into the break.

Maryland preserved that momentum early in the second half, adding on to its four-goal lead with three early tallies in the stanza. Aust played a hand in all three, scoring goals at 26:30 and 22:44 and assisting on a Katie Schwarzmann score in-between.

Duke posted its first goal of the period with a Maddy Morissey score at 21:55 but Maryland compiled a devastating 3-0 run in-and-around the 17-minute mark – courtesy of goals from Schwarzmann, Griffin and Beth Glaros - to mount a 14-5 advantage with 15 minutes to play.

Duke turned up the heat with four goals in the final seven minutes of play, but Maryland would hold on for the 14-9 win, the last for eight Terrapin seniors at the Field Hockey & Lacrosse Complex.

Maryland benefited from a balanced attack with seven goal-scorers on the day. Griffin added three goals and two assists and Schwarzmann tallied a pair of scores to aid the attack.

Defensively, senior Kasey Howard recorded seven saves in the cage. Aust, Schwarzmann and Cummings combined for 10 ground balls. Cummings and fellow freshman Alice Mercer led the way with two caused turnovers each.

“Congratulations to Duke. It was a fun game, a hard-fought game and I don’t think you’d expect anything less when you get a Maryland-Duke rivalry,” head coach Cathy Reese said. “For us, we are thrilled to be in the position we are in. We’re excited and looking forward to being one of the final four teams standing and heading to the final four next week.”

Maryland – which is headed to its nation-leading 21st final four – will play fourth-seeded Syracuse next Friday in the national semifinals at Villanova Stadium in Villanova, Pa.

The Terrapin’s first Big Ten matchup will come on Saturday, Sept. 27 when they travel to Bloomington, Ind. to play the Indiana Hoosiers.

Following a week off, Maryland returns to College Park to host Michigan State on Saturday, Nov. 15. This will be the first time the two teams have met since 1950, when Maryland won 34-7.

Maryland makes its first trip to Ann Arbor since 1990 when they play the Wolverines on Saturday, Nov. 22. Michigan was victorious in the last meeting and is 3-0 all-time against Maryland.

The Terrapins close out their inaugural Big Ten schedule on Saturday, Nov. 29 when they host Rutgers. The Scarlet Knights, who will also make their Big Ten debut in 2014, last traveled to College Park in 2009.

Of the eight conference opponents Maryland will face in 2014, two finished the 2012 season ranked in the Associated PressTop 25 and four of them played in bowls, including one BCS bowl (Ohio State and Penn State were both ineligible for postseason play).

Your Monday Reality Check: Maryland’s end is far too familiar

Your Monday Reality Check: Maryland’s end is far too familiar

Posted on 12 May 2013 by Glenn Clark

“How long must we sing this song?”

It was a “Bloody Sunday” indeed for the three Maryland teams in the NCAA Lacrosse Tournament. Sixth seeded Maryland was blown out by Cornell, upstart Towson was rocked at Ohio State and defending national champion Loyola fell to Duke in double overtime after coughing up a four goal second half advantage.

The rest of the NCAA Tournament isn’t going to be cancelled, it will just seem irrelevant to those of us in this area. (Other than the handful that will still wander to Byrd Stadium next Saturday to see Ohio State, Cornell, Syracuse and Yale, that is. I imagine the crowd size will make a Maryland/James Madison football game look like a packed house.) It is particularly disappointing considering the 2012 NCAA Championship Game was an all-Old Line State affair between the Greyhounds and Terrapins.

For the Tigers, the loss marked the end of a season that lasted two or three games longer than anyone could have expected after a 3-5 start. (Worse, a 3-5 start that included a loss to High Point-playing only their second game ever in program history and the first of only three wins all season for the Panthers.) Shawn Nadelen’s team made great strides in the CAA his second season as head coach and the blowout loss to the Buckeyes was to be expected by most. It would be hard for Towson fans to get away with labeling themselves as particularly disappointed with the result.

For the Hounds, the nature of their season-ending setback at the hands of the Blue Devils had to be considered particularly disappointing. Loyola had an 8-4 lead in the second half and appeared to have essentially clinched victory before Face-Off Specialist Blake Burkhart’s final minute goal was waived off because head coach Charley Toomey had called timeout just a split second earlier. Loyola was a legitimate contender to return to the Final Four, but the heartbreak shouldn’t be misconstrued as disappointment. What Loyola accomplished a season ago in Foxborough should have never been viewed as a measuring stick for the program’s success. It was a remarkable run unlikely to be accomplished with any sort of regularity. The Greyhounds had a very successful season (including their first win over Johns Hopkins since 1999) with a very tough end.

And then there’s the Terps. The same team that coming off two consecutive trips to the NCAA Championship Game was believed to be a legitimate national championship contender. After winning their rematch with the Greyhounds in Baltimore in February, the Terps took over the #1 ranking in both polls and held it almost exclusively until mid-April. Conversation within crowds of Maryland alums was set around the idea that this group was finally primed to claim the school’s first national championship since 1975.

1975…it seems more and more impossible every time I think about it. For what it’s worth, only eight schools have combined to win the 37 championships since Maryland last claimed lacrosse glory. Still, the drought remains staggering for the flagship university in the state most closely associated with the sport.

Title drought continues for Maryland with blowout loss to Cornell

Posted on 12 May 2013 by WNST Staff

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The University of Maryland’s men’s lacrosse team’s season came to an end with a 16-8 loss to Cornell in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Sunday afternoon at Capital One Field at Byrd Stadium.

The Terps finishes the season with a 10-4 record, while the Big Red advance to next weekend’s NCAA quarterfinals with a 13-3 mark.

Cornell jumped out to an early two-goal lead scoring twice in the first minute and a half of action. Matt Donovan and Steve Mock gave the Big Red the early advantage.

The Terps answered back at 11:04 when senior Jesse Bernhardt took an outlet pass from junior goalie Nike Amato the distance and scored on a 14-foot bouncer to cut the lead to 1-2.

Cornell finished out the scoring in the first quarter with two more goals. Mock added his second of the day and Rob Pannell extended to lead to 4-1.

Maryland again cut the Big Red advantage to one by opening up the second quarter with two goals of its own. Junior Mike Chanenchuk took a feed from senior Kevin Cooper and finished the 10 yard rip to the top left corner at 13:24.

Senior John Haus added his first goal of the day at 9:57 to cut the Big Red lead to 4-3. Senior Jake Bernhardt found Haus on the left wing and the senior overpowered the goalie with a stick-side high shot.

The Big Red answered back with two more goals to extend their lead to 6-3 with 7:41 remaining in the first half.

The Terps finished off the scoring in the first half when Cooper scored an unassisted goal on a nice inside move cutting under a Big Red defender at 6:01 to cut the Cornell lead to 4-6 heading into halftime.

Maryland and Cornell traded goals to open up the second half. After Pannell scored an unassisted goal, Haus answered with one of his own, tip-toeing the crease and finished inside the near pip at 10:37 to tighten the game to 7-5.

The Big Red refused to let the Terps get any closer as they answered with two more goals to again widen the gap to four at 9-5.

Sophomore Charlie Raffa scoped up a faceoff and took it down the right alley at 5:46 to cut the Cornell lead to 9-6. However, with just over 30 seconds remaining in the quarter Pannell scored his fourth goal of the game to put the Big Red up 10-6.

After Cornell scored two goals to open the fourth quarter, seniorOwen Blye scored an unassisted goal, coming around the right side of the cage at 8:09, to cut the lead to 12-7.

Cornell’s offense was simply too much though as Cornell scored four unanswered goals to put the game out of reach.

Maryland’s final goal came at 1:46 of the fourth with Jake Bernhardtscoring an unassisted goal on a dodge down the right alley.

Junior Niko Amato finished with 10 saves in just over 54 minutes of play, while Cornell’s AJ Fiore ended up with 12 stops.

In addition to his goal, Jesse Bernhardt caused five turnovers while scooping up a team high nine ground balls.

The game marked the final game of the careers for nine Maryland seniors; Jake Bernhardt, Owen Blye, Mike Scheeler,Landon Carr, Curtis Holmes, Billy Gribbin, John Haus, Jesse Bernhardt, and Kevin Cooper.

Game Notes:
• With today’s 16-8 loss, Maryland is now 13-3 all-time vs. Cornell.
• Maryland is now 48-34 all-time in NCAA tournament play and 14-4 in first round games.
• Senior Own Blye had one point to give him 109 for his career, which moves him past Bud Beardmore (1960-62) and Terry Kimball (1976-79) for sole-possession of 36th place on Maryland’s all-time points list.
• With two points on a goal and an assists, senior Kevin Cooper now has 21 multi-point games for his career.
• With two points on two goals, senior John Haus now has 27 multi-point and 14 multi-goal games for his career.
• Haus’ two points gives him 103 for his career, tying him with Steve La Vaulte (1966-68) for 41st on Maryland’s all-time points list.
• With two points on a goal and an assist, senior Jake Bernhardt now has 18 multi-point games for his career.
• With 10 saves, junior Niko Amato recorded his ninth game this season and 21st of his career with at least 10 saves.

• The Terps have captured two titles. Only eight other schools have ever won the NCAA Championship: Syracuse (10), Johns Hopkins (9), Princeton (6), North Carolina (4), Virginia (5), Cornell (3), Duke (1) and Loyola (1).


The Terps As The No. 6 Seed
• This marks the fourth time that Maryland has been named the No. 6 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Terps were previously a No. 6 seed in 1983, 1992 and 2000. The Terps have a 3-3 record as the No. 6 seed.

• In 1983, Maryland topped No. 3 seed Virginia in the first round, which was also the quarterfinals, by a 13-4 score. The Terps then lost to No. 2 seed Syracuse in the semifinals, 12-5.

• In 1992, beat Duke, 13-11, in the first round, but lost to No. 3 seed Princeton, 11-10, in the quarters.

• The 2000 tournament was also a 1-1 finish for the Terps with a first round victory over Hofstra, 14-12, and a 10-7 loss in the quarters to No. 3 seed Princeton.


Series History vs. Cornell
• Maryland holds an 13-2 edge in the all-time series against Cornell, which dates to 1929. The Terps have won the last eight meetings including an 11-6 decision at Byrd Stadium on March 20, 1999, which is the last time these two storied programs have played in College Park.

• The only two losses to the Big Red came in NCAA Championship games. Cornell beat Maryland 12-6 in the 1971 final and topped the Terps 16-13 in 1976, in overtime.

• Chris Malone’s goal with 7:09 left in the fourth quarter proved to be the difference in Maryland’s 8-7 win over Cornell on March 18, 2000 at the Big Red’s Schoellkopf Field. Andrew “Buggs” Combs had a hat trick to lead the Terps, which also got two goals and two assists from Marcus LaChapelle. First team All-American goalie Pat McGinnis made 10 saves for the Terps.

• The 1999 game in College Park saw the Terps race out to a 7-0 lead in the first quarter en route to an 11-6 victory. Brian Zeller had five goals and an assist to lead Maryland, while Andrew “Buggs” Combs had four points on three goals and an assist.

• The last time these two teams met in the NCAA tournament was the 1976 NCAA title game in Providence, R.I. Both teams cruised into the finals with Maryland, the No. 1 seed, defeating Navy, 22-11, and Cornell, the No. 2 seed, topping Johns Hopkins, 13-5. It was the first NCAA title game contested by two undefeated teams.

The Terps held a 7-2 lead at the half over the Big Red, but Cornell outscored Maryland 6-2 in the third to make it a one-goal game going into the fourth. The Terps took an early 10-8 lead in the fourth, but the Big Red ripped off the next four tallies to take a 12-10 lead. Maryland managed to pull to within a goal and then got one to go at the buzzer to tie it up and send the game into overtime.

Maryland freshman Terry Kimball scored the first goal in OT, but there was no sudden victory back then. Cornell then scored four-straight goals to claim the title with a 16-13 win. Ten different Terps scored in the game, including two from Frank Urso and John Lamon, but Cornell legend Mike French tied the then-NCAA tournament single-game scoring record with seven goals in the championship game.


Get To 10 And Win
• One axiom of lacrosse is that if you score 10 goals or more your chances of winning are pretty good. Well, a look at the results since 2002 shows that when Maryland scores 10 or more goals there’s not just a pretty good chance the Terrapins will win; it’s an almost certainty. Since 2002 Maryland has won 101 of the 110 games in which the Terps have scored 10 or more goals for a .918 winning percentage.

• Maryland scored 10, but fell at North Carolina, 11-10, on March 24, 2012 and again came out on the losing end, despite scoring 11 in a 13-11 loss at Colgate on May 5, 2012. The Terps scored 11 vs. Johns Hopkins on April 16, 2011, but the Blue Jays won the game in overtime, 12-11. On April 3 of last season the Terps lost to No. 1 Virginia by a final of 11-10, giving Maryland its only loss when scoring 10 or more goals in 2010. In 2009 the Terps lost to Georgetown, 13-10 on Feb. 21 and lost again when scoring 10 in the ACC Semifinals in a 16-10 defeat at North Carolina. Prior to that, Maryland had not lost when scoring 10 or more goals since dropping an 11-10 decision to Virginia in the semifinals of the ACC Tournament in Durham, N.C. The Terrapins got to 10 goals in the 100th game against Johns Hopkins, but the Blue Jays took the game 14-10. Virginia is the only team to beat the Terps twice when allowing 10 or more goals. The Wahoos did it first in 2002 with another 11-10 decision.

Holding Opponents To Single-Digits
• The Terps have been extremely impressive (winning 91.8 percent of its games since 2002) when it scores 10 or more goals, they have been nearly as impressive when holding opponents to less than 10 goals during that span.

• Since 2002 Maryland is 119-26 in games, for a .821 winning percentage, when it has held opponents under 10 goals. The Terps have played 193 total games since 2002. Maryland has held opponents to nine goals or less 75.1 percent of the time.


Shooting Tells The Story
• The difference between winning and losing for Maryland this season is simple – when the Terps shoot well they win. As it turns out 30% is the magic number for the Terps this season. Maryland is 10-3 on the year and has shot 30% or better in seven of its 10 victories and under that mark in each of its three defeats.

W- Mount St. Mary’s: 23 goals, 46 shots = 50.0%
W- at Hartford: 16 goals, 51 shots = 31.4%
W- at Loyola: 12 goals, 36 shots = 33.3%
W- at Duke: 16 goals, 29 shots = 55.2%
W- Stony Brook: 13 goals, 30 shots = 43.3%
W- at Villanova: 10 goals, 26 shots = 38.5%

L- North Carolina: 8 goals, 37 shots = 21.6%
W- at Virginia: 9 goals, 32 shots = 28.1%
W- at Navy: 11 goals, 40 shots = 27.5%
L-Johns Hopkins: 4 hoals, 36 shots = 11.1%
W- Yale, 8 goals, 29 shots = 27.6%
L- vs. Virginia: 6 goals, 25 shots = 24.0%
W- Colgate: 18 goals, 27 shots = 48.6%

• Since 2005 the Terps are a remarkable 62-4 (.939) when shooting 30% or better in a game. The only four losses were: 13-10 to Georgetown in 2009 (the Terps shot 10 of 30 for 33.3% vs. the Hoyas), 11-10 to No. 1 Virginia on April 3, 2010 (10 of 33 for 30.3%), 12-11 in overtime on April 16, 2011 to No. 3 Johns Hopkins (11 of 28 for 39.3%) and 13-11 at Colgate on May 5, 2012 (11 of 31 for 35.5%).

• If 30% is the benchmark, then 40% shooting is in a class all to itself and Maryland has shot 40% or better in 15 games since the start of the 2008 season. Out of those 14 games, Maryland shot 50% or better in four of them.


Consecutive 10-Win Seasons
• Maryland’s 18-6 win over the Colgate on May 4, 2013 extended the Terps’ streak of double-digit win seasons to 11, which is the longest active streak in NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse. (Special thanks to Patrick Stevens of the D1scource.com).

• There are only four programs with a current streak of at least five-straight 10-win seasons:

Maryland (11): 2013 (10-3), 2012 (12-6), 2011 (13-5), 2010 (12-4), 2009 (10-7), 2008 (10-6), 2007 (10-6), 2006 (12-5), 2005 (11-6), 2004 (13-3), 2003 (12-4)
Notre Dame (8): 2013 (10-3), 2012 (13-3), 2011 (11-3), 2010 (10-7), 2009 (15-1), 2008 (14-3), 2007 (11-4), 2006 (10-5)
Duke (7): 2013 (12-5), 2012 (15-5) 2011 (14-6), 2010 (16-4), 2009 (15-4), 2008 (18-2), 2007 ( 17-3)
North Carolina (5): 2013 (12-3), 2012 (11-6), 2011 (10-6), 2010 (13-3), 2009 (12-6)

• Cornell’s string of seven-straight 10+ win seasons came to an end in 2012 with a 9-4 final mark. Virginia’s streak of eight-consecutive seasons with 10+ wins ended in 2013 with a 7-8 record, while Siena saw its run of six 10-win seasons end with an 8-9 mark this season.


Three Terps Earn All-ACC Honors
• Maryland placed three players on the 2013 All-ACC Men’s Lacrosse Team, which was announced on April 24 by the Atlantic Coast Conference. Junior goalieNiko Amato made the team for the third-straight season, while senior long poleJesse Bernhardtand senior midfielderJohn Hausare two-time honorees.

• All four ACC men’s programs are represented on the annual All-ACC team, which was determined by a vote of the four head coaches. Maryland’s three honorees were the tied by Duke and Virginia, which each also had three selections, while North Carolina had two players make the team. .


Three Terps Named To Tewaaraton Watch List
• Senior midfielders Jesse Bernhardt and John Haus are joined by junior goalie Niko Amato on the 2013 Tewaaraton Award Watch List. The Terrapin trio are three of 92 selections on the Watch List.

• The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and top female college lacrosse player in the United States. The selection committees are made up of top collegiate coaches and are appointed annually by The Tewaaraton Foundation. Committees will make additions to these lists as the season progresses and athletes earn a spot along side these elite players. The lists will be narrowed to 25 men’s and women’s nominees in late April. In mid-May, five men’s and five women’s finalists will be announced. These finalists will be invited to Washington, D.C. for the 13th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony, May 30 at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian.

Bernhardt Named Senior CLASS Finalist

Fan voting consists of one-third of the final total to determine the winner, so click on the graphic to vote for Jesse. Fans can vote once per day per device, so come back every day to cast your vote for Jesse.

The 700 Club
· Maryland’s 15-6 victory over Penn on April 14, 2009 was the program’s 700th victory in 84 seasons of varsity men’s lacrosse. The Terps join Johns Hopkins, Syracuse, Navy and Army as the only programs with 700 or more Division I wins.

· Two things that make Maryland’s accomplishment all the more impressive is that the Terps reached the 700-win plateau in just their 84th season. Only Syracuse reached win No. 700 in as few seasons, but it took the Orange 53 more games than Maryland. In fact, Maryland needed only 940 games to reach 700 wins and only Johns Hopkins needed fewer games (932) to hit the historic number, but the Blue Jays did so in their 105th season.

Terps’ 88th Season Of Lacrosse
• The Terps boast an all-time record of 747-252-4 (.747), dating back to the first varsity team in 1924 (a team was not fielded in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II). Maryland has finished every one of its previous 87 seasons with a .500 or better record, including last season when the Terps went 12-6. The program reached the 700-win milestone with a 15-6 victory over Penn on April 14, 2009 at Ludwig Field.

• During the decade of the 2000s, Maryland went 111-49 for a .694 win percentage, making it the winningest decade in Terrapin lacrosse history. In the decade of the 1990s, Maryland posted a 95-47 record. The .669 winning percentage matched Maryland’s win percentage of the 1980s when the Terps went 83-41 and also compiled a .669 win percentage. So far, Maryland is 25-9 in the 2010′s for a .735 winning percentage.


Terps On ESPNU
• Maryland has had 46 games on ESPNU since 2006. Maryland is 26-21 (.553) all-time in games broadcast on ESPNU.

• The Terps are scheduled to play four games (at Duke (W, 16-7), at Virginia (W, 9-7), vs. Johns Hopkins (L, 4-7) and vs. Virginia (L, 6-13) in the ACC tournament semifinals) on ESPNU in 2013.


Going Purple
· Once again this season, the Terps will be wearing purple “MY” stickers, to show their support for the fight against pancreatic cancer, which touched everyone in the Maryland lacrosse familywith the passing of Maria Young on April 17, 2011.

· This past fall the Terps, Maryland alums and family and friends came together for the inaugural Forever Young Walk/Run for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness. More on Ms. Young and her amazing story can be found here: Forever Young.

In case you’re wondering here are some facts about brain and spinal cord tumors from the American Cancer Society:
· About 22,910 malignant tumors of the brain or spinal cord (12,630 in males and 10,280 in females) will be diagnosed. These numbers would likely be much higher if benign tumors were also included.
· About 13,700 people (7,720 males and 5,980 females) will die from these tumors.
· Overall, the chance that a person will develop a malignant tumor of the brain or spinal cord in his or her lifetime is about one in 150 for a man and one in 185 for a woman.


Going Teal
• Maryland players will also be wearing teal stickers in honor of Andrew Walsh’s mother, Gia, who was recently diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

· If you’re interested in more information, please visit the Ovarian Cancer Institute website.

Here are some facts about ovarian cancer from the American Cancer Society and the Ovarian Cancer Institute:

• Kimball lettered for the Terps from 1976-79 and helped Maryland accumulate a 36-7 record during his four seasons in College Park. Twice during his time with the Terrapins, the team reached the NCAA championship game and captured the ACC championship all four seasons. He totaled 108 points during his career as a Terp, including a 1978 season that saw him lead the team with 41 goals, which at the time was the third highest single-season total in Maryland history and is still the 11th-best single-season any Terp has recorded. He is also one of only seven Terps on record to score at least seven goals in a single game when he had seven goals vs. Brown in 1978.

· If you’re interested in more information, please visit the National Cancer Institute’s website.


Maryland In Season Openers
• Maryland has an 84-3-1 (.960) lifetime record in season openers dating back to the 1924 season. The Terps have won their last 19 openers and 26 of the last 27, with the only loss coming to Duke in 1993, when they fell to Duke 9-5 on March 6.

• After losing their 1925 opener to Yale, 5-3, the Terps went on to win 40 consecutive season openers from 1926 through 1967. The streak was broken when Maryland tied Princeton, 6-6, in the 1968 opener. Following the deadlock, Maryland went on to win its next 14 openers, giving the Terps a 54-0-1 record over a 57-year span (Maryland did not field a team in 1944 and 1945 due to World War II.)

20 Straight in Season Openers
• After beating Mount St. Mary’s to open the 2013 season the Terps have an 20-game winning streak in season openers. Five of those wins came against Villanova (1994-98) and the last nine over Denver, Mount St. Mary’s (twice), Air Force, Hobart, Duke, Georgetown (four times), Bellarmine (twice), Presbyterian, Detroit Mercy and Hartford. Over the 20-year stretch, Maryland outscored its foes 290-105 (an average score of 14.5-5.3) in those games.

• The Terps have not allowed more than seven goals to any opponent in a season opener over the last 20 years. Maryland has not allowed an opponent to score 10 or more goals in a season opener since Syracuse beat the Terps, 16-13 on March 9, 1983.

A Family Affair
· Many school’s refer to their sports programs as families, but the Maryland men’s lacrosse program is truely a family affair. Since 2002, the Terps have had 13 sets of brothers, including three on this season’s roster, don the red and black together for at least one season.

Two Maryland women, no area men make Tewaaraton finalist cut

Posted on 09 May 2013 by WNST Staff

TEWAARATON AWARD FINALISTS ANNOUNCED

WASHINGTON, May 9, 2013 – The Tewaaraton Foundation has announced the 2013 Tewaaraton Award men’s and women’s finalists lists, presented by Panama Jack. Five men and five women were selected as finalists and will be invited to Washington, D.C. for the 13th annual Tewaaraton Award Ceremony, May 30 at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian.

The five men’s finalists are University of North Carolina attackman Marcus Holman, Syracuse University midfielder JoJo Marasco, Cornell University attackman Rob Pannell, Princeton University midfielder Tom Schreiber and University at Albany attackman Lyle Thompson.

The five women’s finalists are University of Maryland attacker Alex Aust, University of North Carolina midfielder Kara Cannizzaro, Syracuse University attacker Alyssa Murray, University of Florida goalie Mikey Meagher and University of Maryland midfielder Katie Schwarzmann.

Returning finalists include Pannell (2011) and Schwarzmann (2011 finalist, 2012 winner). Nine of the 10 finalists will compete in this month’s NCAA lacrosse championships, at the conclusion of which the selection committees will vote on and select this year’s winners.

“It is the ultimate achievement for these 10 finalists to have been recognized by the game’s very best coaches on the Tewaaraton Selection Committees,” said Jeffrey Harvey, chairman of The Tewaaraton Foundation. “They are all worthy of the sport’s ultimate award, and we could not be more excited to have this group come to Washington, D.C., on May 30.”

The Tewaaraton Award annually honors the top male and top female college lacrosse player in the United States. Finalists were selected from a pool of 25 men’s and 25 women’s nominees. The selection committees are comprised of 12 men’s and 10 women’s current and former college coaches.

Brief bios of the men’s finalists:

Marcus Holman recorded an ACC-best 74 points in the regular season, becoming North Carolina’s all- time leading scorer in the process. His 4.93 points per game rank fourth nationally. A senior attackman from Baltimore, Md., Holman was named ACC Offensive Player of the Year, first-team All-ACC and the ACC Tournament Most Outstanding Player.

JoJo Marasco, the 2013 Big East Midfielder of the Year and a unanimous first-team All-Big East selection, paced Syracuse in points (53) and assists (35) during the regular season, the latter breaking Paul Gait’s program record. A senior from Yorktown Heights, N.Y., Marasco led the Orange to the top seed in the NCAA Tournament.

2011 Tewaaraton Award finalist Rob Pannell ranks third and fourth in the nation in points (5.36) and assists (2.93) per game, respectively. A senior from Smithtown, N.Y., Pannell earned Ivy League Player of the Year and first-team All-Ivy honors. He is currently the third-leading scorer in men’s Division I history (332 points), and holds the Cornell and Ivy League all-time scoring records.

Midfielder Tom Schreiber led Princeton in scoring for a third consecutive season, tallying a team-best 32 assists and 60 points. A junior from East Meadow, N.Y., Schreiber earned his third first-team All-Ivy League selection and recorded at least three points in every contest this season, ranking second and third in the Ivy League in assists (2.13) and points (4.00) per game, respectively.

The first Native American to be named a Tewaaraton Award finalist, Albany sophomore midfielder Lyle Thompson leads the nation in points (108) and assists (62) per game. A member of the Onondaga Nation, he was named America East Player of the Year, first-team All-America East and the America East Tournament Most Outstanding Player. Thompson’s 108 points this season rank third in NCAA men’s Division I history, trailing all-time leader Steve Marohl (1992) by six points.
