NORTH CAROLINA THE SERIES The series is deadlocked at 11 wins apiece... last March, Navy took the series lead after producing the most lop-sided win in series history, a 19-8 victory in Annapolis... however, Carolina bounced back by taking perhaps an even more important win handing the Mids a 12-8 setback in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament in Chapel Hill. The UNC win in the NCAA Tournament snapped the Mids five-game winning streak against the Tar Heels, which was the longest winning streak in the series by Navy. Carolina owns a 4-1 advantage over the Midshipmen in NCAA Tournament action... four of the five matchups took place better than 25 years ago. The two teams had met during the regular season every year since 1996, however a scheduling glitch this spring prevented Navy and North Carolina from their annual contest... the inaugural meeting in the series was in 1975 when the Mids earned an 11-4 win in Annapolis. North Carolina owns an 8-3 advantage in games played on its home field... three of the last five games played in Chapel Hill have not only been decided by one goal, but have gone into overtime, including the 2002 game that was won by North Carolina in the sixth overtime period. Five of the last nine games in the series have been decided by one goal. THE LAST TIME... North Carolina outscored Navy, 5-1, in the fourth quarter en route to a 12-8 victory over the Midshipmen in the first round of the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Tournament at Fetzer Field in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Navy offense was sharp early, scoring four goals in the first 10 minutes of the contest... Basil Daratsos, Ian Dingman, Billy Looney and Tim Paul all scored goals as the Mids took an early 4-3 lead. The Mids offense, however, went stone cold over the final 30 minutes, scoring just four goals... Navy connected on just eight of 43 shots for the game, including four goals on 31 shots over the final three periods. The Navy defense didn't fair much better as North Carolina was able to answer a Navy goal with one of its own in less than a minute on five different occasions... four times the Mids took a one-goal lead, only to see UNC tie the game in less than 60 seconds... the fifth time came after Navy had cut the Carolina lead to 9-8 with 11:54 left. North Carolina took its first lead of the contest with 4:46 left in the second quarter on an unassisted goal by Sean Delaney. The Mids bounced back to take a 6-5 lead at the half on a man-up goal by Dingman off an assist from Looney and then Looney scored his second goal of the half off an assist from May 13, 2007 #8 Navy 8 #9 North Carolina 12 Chapel Hill, N.C. #8 Navy (11-4, 6-0) #9 North Carolina (10-5) Scoring: Navy - Daratsos 1-0-1, Dingman 2-1-3, Higgins 1-0-1, Looney 3-1-4, Mirabito 0-3-3, Paul North Carolina - Burns 3-0-3, Burke 1-0-1, Delaney 2-0-2, Fletcher 0-1-1, Hunt 1-0-1, Petracca 2-1-3, Tintle 1-0-1, Wagner Goalies: Navy - Finnegan 60:00, 12 GA, 10 saves.

The score remained 6-5 until 2:19 left in the third period when North Carolina's Gavin Petracca scored an unassisted goal to tie the game at six... Looney scored his third goal of the game with 37 seconds left in the third to put Navy back up by one, but Carolina's Bart Wagner answered with four seconds left in the quarter to tie the game at 7-7. North Carolina took the lead for good with 13 minutes left in the contest on an unassisted goal by Michael Burns and went up 9-7 just 58 seconds later on an unassisted goal by Wagner. Navy's Terence Higgins closed the deficit to one at 9-8 off an assist from Dingman with 11:54 left in the contest... Navy won the ensuing face-off, but never took a shot as Carolina defenseman Brian Burke poked the ball away from a Navy midfielder and raced the length of the field untouched to score his second goal of the year. The play by Burke seemed to deflate the Mids as they didn't put up much of a fight over the final 10 minutes. Delaney scored his second goal of the game with 5:10 left in the contest to make it 11-8 and Nick Tintle scored an unassisted goal with 2: left in the contest to provide the final margin.

NAVY 72 (12) Colgate 60 (1) Bucknell 51 (1) Army Lehigh Holy Cross Lafayette (#) first-place votes CAROLINA TIES Navy head coach Richie Meade is a 1976 graduate of North Carolina where he played lacrosse for current UNC associate athletic director Willie Scroggs... Scroggs hired Meade as an assistant in 1979 and again in Navy junior middie/attack Matt Bitter and Carolina freshman attack Billy Bitter are brothers. TOURNEY TIME Navy is making its fifth-straight appearance in the NCAA Tournament and its 25th overall... Navy has played in the fifthmost NCAA Tournaments behind Johns Hopkins (37), Maryland (31), Virginia (31) and Syracuse (27)... UNC is making its 23rd appearance. The last time Navy qualified for five-consecutive NCAA Tournaments was a quarter of a century ago... the Mids earned a berth in the NCAA s first tournament in 1971 and earned 11 subsequent bids ( ). Navy is 4-5 in tournament action under head coach Richie Meade. Navy owns a 5-6 record in first-round contests... Navy has lost three in a row. Facing the Tar Heels in the opening round for the second year in a row, it s the first time since the tournament was expanded to at least 10 teams (1986) that the Mids have faced first round opponents in back-to-back years (8-team tournament from with quarters, semis, championship). Navy has been unseeded in each of the last three years and is 1-5 as an unseeded team The Mids are 1-3 against teams seeded fourth lost to Washington & Lee (13-12, 3OT) in the quarterfinals in 1973; def. Penn (14-12) in the quarterfinals in 1977; lost to Syracuse (13-14) in the 2004 National Championship; lost to Virginia (8-10) in the quarterfinals in Carolina owns a 4-1 advantage over the Midshipmen in NCAA Tournament action... four of the five matchups took place better than 25 years ago. Senior Nick Mirabito is the only player on the roster to play in each of the four NCAA Tournament games since Just four players on the current Navy roster have scored goals in NCAA Tournament play. Senior Nick Mirabito has scored five goals and added four assists in the four NCAA Tournament games in which he has played, including his hat trick against Delaware in the first round of the 2005 tournament... it was his first-collegiate NCAA Tournament contest. Senior Terence Higgins and sophomores Basil Daratsos and Tim Paul each scored their first collegiate goal in NCAA Tournament play last year against the Tar Heels. Neither Navy keeper, Matt Coughlin nor Tommy Phelan, has played in an NCAA Tournament game. Over the course of its five-year NCAA Tournament streak, Navy has averaged 8.75 goals per game... the Mids have been held to seven or fever goals twice in the eight-game stretch (6-5 win over Cornell in 2004 and 7-9 loss at Georgetown in 2006) Navy opponents have averaged 8.63 goals per game during that stretch, reaching double digits in three of the last five matchups. QUICK HITS Senior attack Nick Mirabito is one of 13 players in the country with at least 21 goals and 21 assists... Mirabito has produced 21 goals and 22 assists this spring... it s the second straight year he has eclipsed the plateau, putting up 23 goals and 21 assists a year ago. Sophomore attack Tim Paul has turned in multi-goal games nine times this season, while Nick Mirabito has five games with two or more goals. Seven players on the roster have produced hat tricks during their careers, including five this season... Nick Mirabito has pitched a hat trick in three games (14 in his career), while second-year attackman Tim Paul produced his second collegiate hat trick with three markers against Holy Cross at Texas Stadium... turning in their first collegiate hat tricks this spring were junior Sean Standen (3 vs. Lehigh), sophomore Patrick Moran (3 vs. Georgetown) and junior Shane Durkin, who joined the list after punching in Navy s last four goals in its Patriot League Tournament loss to Colgate. Navy has held the lead at halftime in 10 of the 14 games this season... the Mids trailed Georgetown, Army, Johns Hopkins and Colgate-PL Tournament (four of the last five games) at the break... the Mids have lost 16 in a row when losing at the half and 61 straight when trailing after three quarters of play. BLACK JACK Players with at least 21G,21A Player, School G A Matt Danowski, Duke Zack Greer, Duke Kevin Buchanan, Ohio State Joel Dalgarno, Ohio State Mike Leveille, Syracuse Jonathan Engelke, Towson Brian Caufield, Albany Kevin Hill, VMI Garrett Billings, Virginia Danny Glading, Virginia Kevin Crowley, Stony Brook Nick Mirabito, Navy Cam Howard, Delaware The Mids have held seven of their last 11 opponents to five or fewer goals, including No. 3 Maryland who scored just four goals after entering the game averaging more than 12 per game. Six different players have accounted for Navy s nine game-winners this season... all upperclassmen, only one of the six had previously posted a game-winner during his career... Tim Paul came into the season having scored one game-winner (regular-season North Carolina game in 07)... amazingly, despite being the Mids eighth all-time goal scorer, senior Nick Mirabito owns just three game-winners and has been without a game-winning goal since his sophomore season. Navy has played a program-record four OT games this season and owns a 2-2 record in those contests... Bucknell is the only team in the Patriot League who has forced the Midshipmen into extra minutes since Navy joined the conference in the Bison upset the Mids in 2005, 8-7, but dropped a 4-3 OT decision in Annapolis this season. Navy turned in back-to-back double-digit victories over Lehigh (14-3) and Holy Cross (16-3) marking the first time the Mids have achieved that feat since 2000 when Navy defeated Stony Brook, 16-4, followed by a 17-2 win over rival Academy Air Force in a span of just four days. Navy s 13-goal win over Holy Cross was the largest margin of victory by a Richie Meade-led team since 2006 when the Mids defeated Holy Cross by 14 (17-3)... meanwhile it s tied as the seventh-largest margin of victory by Meade s Mids. Navy had its 18-game winning streak against unranked foes snapped when Colgate, who was receiving votes in the national polls, upset the Mids in the Patriot League Tournament on April 25.

Navy s 58 wins over the last five years are the third most in the country, while its.744 winning percentage is the fifth best. During that same stretch, Navy is (.585) against ranked teams and 34-3 mark (.919) against unranked foes. Since the start of the 2004 season, Navy owns a 8-8 (.500) record against teams ranked higher than it in the USILA Coaches Poll... against lower ranked or unranked teams, Navy is (.806). The Mids have posted a 29-8 (.784) record at home, outscoring their foes, during that span... just six teams have reached double digits on Navy s home field during that stretch. The Mids are also respectable on road, owning a 20-8 record (.714) in true road affairs over the last five years and defeating 12 ranked teams in the process... two of Navy s seven road losses have come against unranked Patriot League opponents. Over the last five seasons, the Mids have produced the top-three win totals in school history... in 2004, Navy won games en route to its NCAA Championship game appearance and in 2005, the Mids produced 12 wins in earning their second-consecutive NCAA Tournament berth... Navy won 11 games in 2006 and 07.
