On the year, they have 31 more ground balls ( ) than their foes. Since 2004, Navy owns an amazing 64-3 record when holding its opponents to six or fewer goals, including a 22-2 mark in the last eight seasons combined. Navy is 3-0 this season, holding Air Force to 6 goals in the opener, Delaware to 1 and Bucknell to 6. The 1 goal by Delaware marked the fewest goal scored by a Navy opponent since the Mids dealt Army West Point a 12-1 loss in the semifinals of the 2007 Patriot League Tournament. Navy is 66-6 record when scoring 10 or more goals since 2004, including a 42-5 mark in the last eight seasons (9-1 in 2009, 10-1 in 2010, 3-2 in 2011, 5-0 in 2012,3-0 in 2013, 4-0 in 2014, 5-0 in 2015, 3-1 in 2016). At least one pole (close defense or LSM) has either scored a goal or dealt out an assist every year since All-American defenseman Chris Fennell (1A vs. Air Force) and All-Patriot League pole Matt Rees (1G, 1A vs. Johns Hopkins; 1G vs. Delaware; 1G at Boston U., 1G vs. Loyola) have contributed points this season. Navy has been held to single digit extra-man goals in 4 of the last 5 seasons (7 in 2012, 9 in 2013, 7 in 2014, 13 in 2015, 3 in 2016). Last year, Navy started the year 0 for 8 before finishing the season 13 for 43. It s the most extra-man goals scored by Navy since 2011 when it was 19 for 55. The Mids have struggled out of the gate this season and are 3 for 15. Navy has scored 7 or fewer goals in 26 of its last 59 contests. The Mids snapped a 29-game losing streak with scoring 7 or fewer goals when they defeated Holy Cross on Feb. 28, 2015, in a 7-6 win. Navy earned a 5-1 win over Delaware in a defensive battle on Feb. 21. Navy has scored a man-down goal in each of the five seasons (not counting 2016), featuring goals by three current players - Patrick Keena (VMI 14), T.J. Hanzsche (Georgetown 14) and Chris Fennell (Bucknell 15). Navy s defense surrendered double digit goals in just 4 contests in It s fewest since the 2009 season when the Colgate (10-9), Johns Hopkins (15-7) and Duke (14-5) scored double figures in wins over the Mids. Navy has given up double figures twice (Johns Hopkins-12, Boston U.-10) in its give games this season. Record Watchers In his 34th game wearing a Navy uniform, junior Brady Dove became the school record holder for career faceoff wins with 367. Dove won 13 of the 22 draws against Loyola last Saturday and on his 12th attempt of the day, he moved past previous record holder Chris Pieczonka ( ) who posted 363 wins over 46 contests. Sophomore Joe Varello stands 19th with 42 wins, trailing 18th-place Dan Decker ( ) by 12. Dove is also on the verge of joining Navy s single-season faceoff wins list for a third time in his career. Logan West (2010) and Mike Haertel (1997) are tied for 20th with 64 wins, while Dove heads into the Lafayette game with 57 wins this season. West is the only player to have his name listed 3 times, however, once Dove joins the list, he will bump West and Dove will be the lone three-timer on the list. Dove is also ranked among the program s best in ground balls with 189. He needs 18 to move into a tie for third alongside Steve Looney ( ). Dove is 11 ground balls shy of becoming only the fourth player in school history to reach 200 for their career, joining record holder William Wallace (222), John Duthie (214) and Steve Looney (207). Senior attackman Patrick Keena continues to climb Navy s top-20 career assists. After joining the leader board with a 3-assist effort at Bucknell, he moved up to 18th with another 3-assist performance against #15 Loyola. He leads the team with 15 assists this season and owns 49 for his career. Keena is one assist shy of becoming just the 18th player in school history to reach the 50-assist milestone. Meanwhile, he needs 3 assists to tie 17th-place Andy Warner ( ) and 4 to tie 16th-place Tucker Hull ( ). Senior keeper John Connors moved into 13th on Navy s career saves chart (315) following the Mids win over Air Force (2.6). He needs just 1 save to tie 12thplace Malcolm Ogilvie ( ) and 40 to reach the top 10. Behind a 12-save performance at Bucknell (3.5), he became just the 13th goalkeeper in Academy history to post 300 career saves. There are four active players who are among the top 10 on Navy s career caused turnovers list. Junior long pole Matt Rees is third on the list with 41 and trails second-place Austin Miller ( ) by 4. Junior All- American Chris Fennell is fourth on the list with 39, while co-captain Jules Godino stands ninth with 30 and junior short-stick defensive middie John Trainor is 10th with 28. Rees, who is averaging 2.00 caused turnovers per game this season and is ranked #7 nationally, has tallied a team-high 12 caused turnovers. That mark is 19th on Navy s single-season list. He posted 20 a year ago. 5 Covering the Mids 566 Brownson Road Annapolis, Md Fax: Associate SID (Men s Lax) Stacie Michaud Phone (w) (c) michaud@usna.edu Interview Policy All interviews with head coach Rick Sowell and/or Navy lacrosse players should be arranged through Associate SID Stacie Michaud.

7 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, boasting the nation s 20th-best winning percentage (.564) and earning Second-Team All-Patriot League honors after turning in the program s second-most 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 Tewaaraton Award Watch List member, he placed fifth on the Mids singleseason 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 with 367, a list that dates back just 30 years when faceoffs were first documented. He won 13 of the 22 draws against Loyola last Saturday and on his 12th attempt of the day, he moved past previous record holder Chris Pieczonka ( ) who posted 363 wins over 46 contests. He is one of just three players in school history to win 300 faceoffs, achieving the feat last year in the Patriot League Tournament Semifinals ( ). He has lost the faceoff battle against the opposition just eight times in his career (2014 vs. Georgetown, Colgate, Army WP, Maryland; 2015 vs. Loyola, Army WP-PL Tournament; 2016 vs. Johns Hopkins, Boston U.) during his career (34 gms). He is the record holder for faceoff wins (163) and attempts (289) by a freshman and sophomore ( ). This year he will aim for the junior record held by Chris Pieczonka with 173 wins in 2004 and Max Grant with 281 attempts in Also one of the Mids top ground ball leaders, he is fourth on Navy s career list with 189. Dove is 11 ground balls shy of becoming only the fourth player in school history to reach 200 for their career, joining record holder William Wallace (222), John Duthie (214) and Steve Looney (207).

American Sports Network carried Navy s 10-9 victory over #15 Loyola last Saturday at Navy- Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. CBS Sports Network will broadcast back-to-back Navy games, first a home matchup on April 9 against 2015 Patriot League Tournament Champion Colgate followed by the annual showdown between Army West Point and Navy slated for April 16 at West Point. The Big Ten Network has picked up the April 19 meeting between Navy and Maryland after the game was postponed from its Feb. 13 date due to dangerous temperatures. CBS Sports Network is also on tap to televise the Patriot League Tournament Semifinals (April 29) and Championship (May 1). The Mids own a record when their games are televised (since 04). Navy is on CBS Sports Network all-time and 6-16 on the ESPN family of networks. The Mids are also 1-0 on American Sports Network, 1-0 on local Baltimore station WMAR, 1-2 on MASN and 0-1 on NBC Sports Network. The Mids are in games that have not been televised since the start of Navy In Overtime Navy owns an all-time record in overtime contests, including a mark in games at home. 27 of the 42 games have been decided in a single overtime period, however 9 have gone into double overtime, 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). 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 Meanwhile, another overtime thriller saw Navy pull 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 overtime 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 goes down in the record books as the longest Patriot League Tournament contest.

The cast of voters included the league s coaches and sports information directors. Loyola, who tied for third a year ago with a 5-3 mark, edged out both the league s regular-season champion - Navy - and tournament champion - Colgate - as this year s preseason favorite. The Greyhounds secured 12 of the 18 first-place votes (eligible for only 16, cannot vote for your own team) and totaled 122 points to stand atop the preseason vote. Although Navy accounted for five of the remaining six firstplace votes, the Mids held just a three-point advantage ( ) over Colgate for second. Army West Point was picked fourth with 85 points, followed by Bucknell (70), Boston U. (58), Lehigh (54), Holy Cross (29) and Lafayette (17). In addition to the preseason poll, the 2016 Preseason All-Patriot League Team was also unveiled. Headlining the 12-member team were reigning Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year, Navy junior Chris Fennell, who was selected as the 2016 Patriot League Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, and Loyola senior attackman Zach Herreweyers who was chosen as the preseason Offensive Player of the Year. Eight of the nine teams placed players on the preseason team, including Army West Point, Boston U., Colgate and Loyola with two selections apiece. Bucknell, Holy Cross, Navy and Lehigh each had one player chosen for the preseason squad. Patriot League Success Since joining the Patriot League in 2004, Navy has put together a record (67.0) against conference members, which includes an 11-4 (73.3) mark in the Patriot League Tournament.

I coach (pct.) in NCAA history, has been selected for induction into the Intercollegiate Men s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IMLCA) inaugural Hall of Fame. Bilderback is among 11 men who will be honored in the inaugural IMLCA Hall of Fame Induction Celebration on Saturday, May 28 in Philadelphia as part of the weekend-long festivities surrounding the 2016 NCAA Men s Lacrosse Championships. A member of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame, Bilderback took over reins at the Naval Academy in 1959 and guided the program to eight consecutive USILA national championship titles, including outright crowns in 1960, 62 63, 64, 65, and 66. The streak of five outright titles between is an accomplishment matched by no other team in the history of the sport. During that eight-year span, Navy produced a 79-8 (.908) record and a decade mark of (.869). The Mids won 25 consecutive games beginning with a season-opening victory over Rutgers on March 28, 1964, and ending four games into the 1966 campaign season. Bilderback also was at the helm when the NCAA adopted lacrosse as one of its sponsored sports, leading the Midshipmen to back-to-back tournament appearances (1971 and 72) in the first two years the tournament was held. Bilderback was the recipient of the Morris Touchstone Memorial Award, the National Coach of the Year, in just his second year as Navy s head coach and was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame in He amassed a (.830) record over his 14-year head coaching career at the Academy. 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 ( 17) 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 attackman T.J. Hanzsche s father, Tom, was a four-year letterwinner for the Mids from who played attack on four NCAA Quarterfinal teams. Senior goalie John Connors is the brother of four-year letterwinner Brendan Connors ( 10), who played on two NCAA Tournament teams and one (2007) of two Navy teams who went undefeated in Patriot League play. Junior goalkeeper Connor Wade and freshman attackman Ryan Wade are the sons of two-year Navy lacrosse letterwinner Capt. John Wade ( 90) and nephew of three-year Navy lacrosse letterwinner Tim Andrews ( 88). Matt and Casey Rees father, Cliff ( 88), wasn t a standout on the lacrosse field, but instead played basketball alongside David Robinson and earned a trip to the Elite 8 his Plebe year. Sophomore 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 Navy team that played in the program s first NCAA Championship Game and was an NCAA Semifinalist the following three seasons.
