Score By Quarters F Army (10-5) Navy (10-4, 7-1 PL) Fourth-seeded Army outscored top-seeded Navy 7-3 in the second half to post a 9-3 victory over the Mids in the Patriot League Tournament Semifinals played last April at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. After an 11-goal performance against their archrivals two weeks prior, the Mids were unable to solve a smothering Black Knights defense. Navy was held to a season-low 19 shots in the contest and kept off the scoreboard for the first 30 minutes of action. Navy s defense, however, did an admirable job in the opening half by holding the Black Knights to two goals on 22 shots. The Mids trimmed the deficit to one (2-1) 47 seconds into the third when midfielder Casey Rees swept across the field where he targeted his 15-yard shot. Army responded with a pair of goals by Connor Cook and Cole Johnson over the course of two minutes to push its leads to three with 6:50 remaining in the third. With under five to play in the quarter, Navy seniors Kevin Wendel and T.J. Hanzsche connected for the extra-man goal by Hanzsche. That goal, however, would be the Mids last for better than 16 minutes as Army broke the game open by going on a 4-0 run to lead, 8-2. While the goals were scored by four different players, sophomore Austin Colvin played a role in three of the four, scoring one goal and assisting on two others. The Mids got back on the scoredboard at the 3:26 mark in the fourth when Jack Ray found rookie Greyson Torain who used a pretty spin move to fire in the goal. Army put the final tally on the board just 12 seconds later with a transition goal by rookie pole Danny DeSanti off an assist from Cook.

Gray has a tremendous heart, a natural ability to put others first and to keep a smile on through even the most difficult circumstances. 7 IN THE CLASSROOM The rigors a student-athlete faces at a Service Academy are unlike those a typical student-athlete might encounter on a day-to-day basis. Whether it s the added military training, mandatory room or uniform inspections or the academic schedule, Service Academy student-athletes are in a league of their own. The Naval Academy s academic day is divided into six 50-minute class periods beginning at 7:55 am and concluding at 3:20 pm. Unique to the Academies, all 4,400 Midshipmen reside on the Yard in Bancroft Hall and dine together in King Hall.

Having played at least a game a year at the stadium for 42 consecutive years, Navy stepped away in 2003, allowing for state-of-the-art renovations to take place. Navy has played all of its home games at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium since the beginning of the 2004 campaign. Navy owns a record (65.6) in games played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium since the start of the 2004 campaign. Since 2004, Navy has lost back-to-back games at home just 10 times.

Navy won six straight games at home before dropping its Patriot League Tournament contest to Army. The Mids had not won six straight at home in a single season since Meanwhile, it was Navy s first six-game single-season home winning streak since Navy put together a 4-0 mark in Patriot League regularseason games played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in It s the first time Navy has been undefeated in Patriot League play at home since 2010 when it was 2-0.

WADE WITH THE HOT HAND Sophomore Ryan Wade has settled in nicely to his role among the starting attack line. Having played just two contests a year ago, he has started 11 of the 12 games this season and along with sophomore middie Greyson Torain, he leads the team with 32 points on 10 goals and 22 assists. Wade is #21 nationally in assists per game (1.83). His 22 assists are the most by a Navy sophomore since Tucker Hull dealt out 24 in Additionally its the fourth most during the Rick Sowell era. In the opener against #8 Johns Hopkins, Wade dealt out a career-best 4 assists. He followed up with a 7-point effort against #2 Maryland, scoring 4 goals and dealing out 3 assists.

Against Lehigh, Wade scored one goal and dealt out three assists.

9 DOVE SOARS AMONG FACEOFF S ELITE Brady Dove etched his name into the Navy record books as one of the best faceoff men as a freshman in 2014, boasting the nation s 20th-best winning percentage (56.4) and earning Second-Team All-Patriot League honors after turning in the program s secondmost single-season faceoff victories (163). Little did anyone know, it would be just a glimpse of what the future would hold for Dove and the Mids. A 2015 First-Team All-Patriot League selection, Dove finished last season ranked #8 in the country, winning 147 of the 235 draws (62.6). A 2015 Tewaaraton Award nominee, he placed fifth on the Mids single-season wins list and set school records for faceoff wins and attempted by a sophomore. He opened the 2015 campaign by winning all 10 of his draws against VMI and combined with Joe Varello to win 21 of the 26 draws they took in the first 3 quarters. Dove was one of just three players nationally to go unbeaten in a game a year ago. He won 19 of the 25 draws he took against Lehigh ( ), tying the record for most wins at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. It was also just one off the school record for wins. In his 34th game wearing a Navy uniform, Dove became the school record holder for career faceoff wins, a list that dates back just 30 years when faceoffs were first documented. He won 13 of the 22 draws against Loyola ( ) and on his 12th attempt of the day, he moved past previous record holder Chris Pieczonka ( ) who posted 363 wins over 46 contests. In his 37th game, he become just the ninth player in the Patriot League s 25-year history to win 400 faceoffs. He achieved the feat behind a 13 for 16 effort against Holy Cross (4.2.16) in what marked just the third game he has won 80 percent of better of the draws he took. He has been sensational this season as he stands #3 in the country, winning 67.4 percent ( ) of the draws he has taken. Dove won 21 of the 29 draws he took against #2 Maryland ( ), breaking the school record (was 20) and Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium record (was 19) for faceoff wins in a game. Additionally, his record-setting 21st win was also his 500th career victory. Against Lehigh ( ), he went 21 for 25 to equal his record. The 2016 Second-Team All-Patriot League selection sits atop the Navy record book with 615 faceoff wins. He went 15 for 18 against Holy Cross (4.2.17) and with his 10th win of the day, the first faceoff of the second half, he became the first Navy player and only the third Patriot League player to reach 600 faceoff wins. Dove is the only player in school history and one of just 24 in Div. I history to win 100 faceoffs in four different seasons (#2 with 163 in 2014, #T6 with 147 in 2015, #3 with 158 in 2016, #T6 with 147 in 2017). Behind a school-record 17 ground balls in the win over Lehigh ( ), Dove became the first Navy player and one of only five Patriot League players to reach 300 career ground balls. With 333, he is the school s alltime record holder and second on the Patriot League s all-time list (384, Peter Strid of Colgate).

Rk Team Record Pts. Prev. 3 Maryland Army (1) 8 12 Johns Hopkins Loyola Two (Army West Point, Loyola) Patriot League teams are ranked in BOTH the Coaches Poll and the Maverik Media Poll. Meanwhile, Boston is receiving votes in both polls. Navy spent four consecutive weeks (April 4-25) ranked inside the top 10 in 2016, its longest stay since the 2007 season when it spent seven straight weeks among the top nine. Prior to 2016, Navy had not been ranked inside the top 10 since The Mids earned a #7 ranking on April 18 and April 25, their highest ranking since 2008 when they pushed up to #6 after upsetting third-ranked Maryland. Going into the 2016 Patriot League Tournament, both Navy and Loyola were ranked among the top 10 marking the first time since May 7, 2012, the Patriot League has two teams ranked in the top 10. Since the start of the 2004 season, Navy has played 89 of its 205 games against teams ranked in the top 25, posting a record (40.5). In games against unranked foes since 2004, Navy is (71.6). The losses are to Army (2x in 10, ), Boston U. (16-17), Bucknell ( ), Colgate ( ), Georgetown ( ), Holy Cross (13), Jacksonville (12), Lafayette (17), Lehigh (11) and Towson ( ). ALL IN THE FAMILY Over the years, Navy has seen several sets of brothers walk through the gates of the Academy. Some of those brothers attended the Academy at the same time, like the Looneys (Brendan 04, Steve 06, Billy 07) and the Lennons (Clipper 05, Bobby 09, Joe 10). Others, like Shane ( 09), Pat ( 14) and Brendan ( 16) Durkin, just missed playing alongside one another. Navy has two sets of brothers on this season s squad - Matt ( 17) and Casey ( 18) Rees and Connor ( 17) and Ryan Wade ( 19). Senior goalkeeper Connor Wade and sophomore attackman Ryan Wade are the sons of two-year lacrosse letterwinner Rear Adm. John Wade ( 90) and nephew of three-year lacrosse letterwinner Tim Andrews ( 88). Matt and Casey Rees father, Cliff ( 88) played basketball alongside David Robinson at Navy and earned a trip to the Elite 8 his Plebe year. The Rees are among just four sets of brothers who have earned All-America honors. They join the Looney s (Steve and Billy), the Supko s (Len and Denny) and the MacLaughlin s (Don and Harry). Junior long pole Steve Hincks father, Steven ( 78), garnered Honorable Mention All-America honors as a defenseman for the Mids his senior year. As a freshman he was a member of the team that played in the program s first NCAA Championship Game and was an NCAA Semifinalist the following three seasons. Freshman attackman Connor Young s father, Steve, is a 1984 graduate of the Naval Academy and was a member of the football and soccer teams. 9

10 ONE-GOAL DECISIONS Navy has played 90 one-goal games (of 306) since the start of the 1996 season, winning 37 (41.1) of those contests. Among those 90 games, 32 of them have gone into extra minutes with Navy winning 13 (40.6). Over the last 10 seasons (2008-present), 43 of the Mids 141 contests have been decided by one goal and Navy has produced wins in just 19 of those contests. Over the last eight seasons (2010-present), the Mids are in one-goal affairs. In 2007, Navy played a program-record seven one-goal games, including five that were decided in overtime. Navy was 1-1 in 2012 in one-goal decisions, marking the first time since 1996 that it had not played at least three one-goal games. Navy finished 2015 with a 5-1 mark in one-goal contests. It s the first team in school history to win five onegoal games. The Mids are 0-2 this spring in one-goal games, dropping an 8-7 decision to undefeated Boston U. in Annapolis and a 9-8 loss at Lafayette. NAVY S ONE-GOAL GAMES (SINCE 1996) Year Gms. Record OT Record Total , , 40.6 NAVY TO HOST 2018 NCAA QUARTERFINALS On April 12, 2016, the NCAA Men s Lacrosse Committees for Divisions I, II and III announced the sites for the 2017 and 2018 men s lacrosse finals and the 2017 and 2018 Division I men s lacrosse quarterfinals. Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., will be the site of the 2017 and 2018 Division I semifinals and final, in addition to the Divisions II and III national championship games. These championships will represent the fourth and fifth time that the home of the NFL s New England Patriots has hosted the event. The championships also took place there in 2008, 2009 and Harvard University will serve as the host school. The 2008 Division I men s lacrosse title game at Gillette Stadium set a record for highest championship game attendance when 48,970 fans attended. The 2017 Division I men s lacrosse quarterfinals will be split between James M. Shuart Stadium in Hempstead, N.Y., on the campus of Hofstra University and the University of Delaware Stadium in Newark, Del. In 2018, two quarterfinals games will be held again at Hofstra, while the other quarterfinals matchups will be at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md. Hofstra has previously hosted the quarterfinal round eight times, most recently in 2014, while Delaware also held the event in Navy has hosted five times previously, including in NAVY IN OVERTIME Navy owns a all-time record in overtime contests, including a mark in games at home. 28 of the 43 games have been decided in a single overtime period, however 9 have gone into double OT, 4 into three extra frames, 1 into four and 1 into six. The Mids dropped a double-overtime heartbreaker to #5 Johns Hopkins on Feb. 9 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. It marked just the fifth time in the 90-game series history the game had been decided in extra frames and the first double-ot game between the two. Hopkins has won four of the five. Navy also dropped its first game in the series to Boston U. on Feb. 27, a double-ot matchup (10-9). The Mids bounced back with an victory in overtime at Army (4.16). It was just the fourth time in the 96-game history that the game went into extra minutes and the first since Perhaps no overtime game in school history gained more attention than when Andy Warner etched his name into Naval Academy lore by way of his overtime goal against 17th-ranked Johns Hopkins in 2010, snapping a 36-game losing streak to the Blue Jays. It was the Mids first win over Hopkins since Navy pulled out a 9-8 triple-overtime victory over Colgate in the 2009 Patriot League Tournament Semifinals. Midfielder Joe Lennon scored four goals for the Mids, including the last three. It marked the Mids first OT win in postseason action, as Navy previously lost NCAA Tournament decisions to Cortland State (2OT) in 1972 and Washington & Lee (3OT) in The Navy win also went down in the record books as the longest Patriot League Tournament contest. The Mids 8-7 loss against Cornell in 2008 marked the first time in program history that Navy had played an overtime game at a neutral site.

Navy 13 HEAD COACH RICK SOWELL On June 9, 2011, Naval Academy Director of Athletics Chet Gladchuk introduced Rick Sowell, a man who has been involved with rebuilding programs at Georgetown, Dartmouth, St. John s and Stony Brook, as the Naval Academy s eighth head men s lacrosse coach in its 100- plus year storied history. In his first season at Navy, Sowell directed the Mids to a 6-6 record, including a 3-3 mark in Patriot League action. It marked Navy s first.500-win season since Navy capped off its season with an 8-2 rout over No. 6 Johns Hopkins. The six-goal victory marked the Mids largest margin of victory in the series since 1965 when Navy scored a 15-6 win over the Blue Jays. Meanwhile, the Class of 2012 became the first class since 1974 to graduate having twice beaten Hopkins. In 2014, the Mids earned their first trip back to the conference postseason tournament since Sowell guided Navy to a share of the Patriot League regular-season title in 2015 and the No. 1 seed in the league tournament. He was named the 2015 Patriot League Coach of the Year. Last season, Sowell garnered Patriot League Coach of the Year honors for a second straight year, led the Mids to the league s regular-season crown and the program s first NCAA Tournament bid since Additionally, Navy s opening-round win over Yale was the program s first NCAA Tournament win since Sowell compiled a (.644) record in five seasons at Stony Brook and was named the America East Coach of the Year in each of the last two seasons as he guided the Seawolves to back-to-back America East regularseason titles ( ). In 2010, Sowell led Stony Brook to the program s first America East regular-season title, a school-record 13 wins, a No. 6 national ranking and a 9-7 victory over Denver in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Seawolves were just a game away from advancing to the school s first-ever final four, narrowly losing in to Virginia in the quarterfinals, Stony Brook had four players earn All-America honors, including Kevin Crowley who was the school s first First-Team All-American and was named the USILA Player of the Year. Sowell, who was an assistant coach for the gold-medal winning Team USA at the 2010 World Championships in England, led Stony Brook to a 9-6 record in 2009 and a final ranking of No. 20 in the country. It marked the school s first end-of-the-season national ranking. Stony Brook finished 4-1 in America East and stood as the regular season co-champions. Prior to Stony Brook, Sowell was tapped to head the rebirth of the St. John s lacrosse program that had been dormant since Sowell had just one season to recruit before the Red Storm took the field in Sowell was the head coach at Dartmouth from and revived the Big Green program, taking the team from last place in the Ivy League to first. In his final season at Dartmouth in 2003, Sowell s squad posted an 11-3 record and won the Ivy League with a 5-1 record. It was Dartmouth s first Ivy League title since 1965 and just the third Ivy League title in school history. During the title run, the Big Green upset No. 2 Princeton marking the first time that Dartmouth had won at Princeton since Sowell was also named the NEILA Coach of the Year that season. Sowell s coaching career began at Washington College in Chestertown, Md., where he helped guide the Shoremen to the NCAA D-III national title game in 1986 and the semifinal round in Sowell was named the 1985 D-III National Midfielder of the Year and was also a two-time All-American. He helped lead Washington College to the D-III national championship game twice. His 45 goals and 14 assists earned him D-III First-Team All-America honors and an invitation to participate in the annual North-South All-Star Game. Sowell graduated from Washington College in 1986 with a bachelor s degree in history.
