Returning From 2012 Head Coach Charley Toomey returns eight starters and 34 letterwinners from the 2012 Loyola team that won the NCAA Championship. Back among the starters are attackmen Mike Sawyer and Justin Ward, first-line midfielders Davis Butts, Chris Layne and Sean O Sullivan, defenders Reid Acton and Joe Fletcher and goalkeeper Jack Runkel. The Greyhounds also return their top long-stick midfielder, Scott Ratliff, and their top three short-stick midfielders, Kyle Duffy, Josh Hawkins and Pat Laconi. A pair of second-line midfielders, Phil Dobson and Nikko Pontrello, also return. The Ranks Of Alumni Two Loyola starters and six players who played key roles on the NCAA Championship team have departed from a year ago. Eric Lusby, who was the NCAA Championships Most Outstanding Player and finished 2012 with a school-record 54 goals, has departed from the attack, while defender Dylan Grimm, who had 42 ground balls and 21 caused turnovers, also graduated. J.P. Dalton, who along with Lusby, Grimm and current senior Scott Ratliff, were team co-captains last year, took more than 92-percent of the team s faceoffs last season. He was also drafted in the MLL Supplemental Draft by the Chesapeake Bayhawks in December Pat Byrnes scored 10 goals and assisted on seven from Loyola s second midfield. Kevin Moriarty was the team s No. 2 long-stick midfielder, and Alex Yackery was in the defensive rotation. Preseason Accolades Six Loyola players were named to the Inside Lacrosse Face-Off Yearbook Preseason All-America teams: defender Joe Fletcher and short-stick midfielder Josh Hawkins (first team); attackman Mike Sawyer and long-stick midfielder Scott Ratliff (second); midfielder Davis Butts (third); and, defender Reid Acton (honorable mention). All six earned All-America honors last season with Sawyer earned Second Team honors and Ratliff was named to the Third Team. Acton, Butts, Fletcher and Acton earned Honorable Mention along with graduate student Eric Lusby. In his first year as a starter, Fletcher was named to the NCAA and ECAC Championships All-Tournament Teams and earned a reputation as one of the top defenders in the nation. In 19 games as a sophomore, Fletcher caused 26 turnovers, second most on the team, and had 41 ground balls. Hawkins has continued to be one of the top defensive midfielders in the nation and garnered considerable respect nationally for his play during the NCAA Championships. He earned NCAA All-Tournament honors and helped the Greyhounds limit Notre Dame and Maryland to a combined eight goals on Championships weekend. In addition to his six goals and two assists in 15 games last year, Hawkins was second on the team with 63 ground balls. Sawyer was a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award as the nation s top player last season when he scored 52 goals and assisted on 10 more and was named the team s Offensive Most Valuable Player. During the regular-season, he led the ECAC in goals and goals per game while earning All-ECAC First Team honors. He became the second player to score 50 or more goals in a season and was joined by a third on last year s team. Ratliff continued to be one of the top long-stick midfielders in the nation and set a Loyola scoring record for the position last year. He finished with 12 goals and seven assists, exceeding current Loyola Assistant Coach Matt Dwan s previous record for a long-stick midfielder set in In addition to his scoring, he tallied 88 ground balls and 37 caused turnovers while earning ECAC Defensive Player of the Year, ECAC Championships Most Valuable Player, NCAA All-Tournament Team and team co-defenisve player of the year honors. Butts was a first-line midfielder for the Greyhounds for the second year in a row. He excelled as a dodger and finisher and ranked fourth on the team in points (35) and third in goals scored (21). A versatile player, Butts also saw plenty of action on the wings of faceoffs and in the defensive midfield where he picked up 40 ground balls.

He finished the 2012 season with 44 ground balls and 20 caused turnovers, while helping Loyola record a 7.21 goals allowed per game average, the fifthbest mark in Division I. The Greyhounds set a pair of defensive records during Championship Weekend, holding Notre Dame and Maryland to a combined eight goals in the two games and allowing the Terrapins just three in the title match. Team Captains Named Four seniors were named team captains for the 2013 season. Scott Ratliff returns as a captain from last year, and he is joined by Reid Acton, Davis Butts and Mike Sawyer. Between The Pipes Loyola goalkeeper Jack Runkel set a career-high in the NCAA Semifinals with 15 saves against Notre Dame, setting a career-high. He narrowly eclipsed his previous best of 14 set on April 28 against Johns Hopkins. The game was Runkel s seventh this season with 10 or more saves in goal. The others came against Duke (12), at UMBC (13), at Fairfield (12), Johns Hopkins (14), at Denver in the ECAC Semifinals (10) and versus Denver in the Quarterfinals (11). Runkel followed his performance in the Semifinal with a six-save, three-goals allowed performance in the title game against Maryland. He was named to the NCAA All- Tournament Team for his efforts. Runkel played to a 5.22 goals against average and.700 saves percentage in four NCAA Tournament games Eric Lusby and Mike Sawyer became the first duo in Loyola history with 50 goals each in the same season. Lusby finished with 54 goals, while Sawyer had 52. They were two of three players in the NCAA last season to score 50 or more goals, joining Colgate s Peter Baum (67). The last time a pair of Division I teammates had 50 or more goals was 2010 when Duke s Max Quinzani finished the year with 68, and Zach Howell tallied 51. And, Lusby and Sawyer ere also the only Loyola players to reach 60 points in the same season. With his four-point effort in the Championship Game, Lusby set the school Division I record for points in a season with 71, eclipsing the 66 (29g, 37a) Brian Duffy had during the 1995 season. Sawyer ended the year with 62 points. Gary Hanley has the top three points marks in school history with 89 in 1981, 86 in 1980 and 83 in 1979 when Loyola played Division II lacrosse. Seven Earn All-America Honors in 2012 Attacker Mike Sawyer was named to the USILA All-America Second Team, and longstick midfielder Scott Ratliff earned Third Team honors earlier this week from the coaches association. Five other Greyhounds attacker Eric Lusby, midfielders Davis Butts and Josh Hawkins and defenders Reid Acton and Joe Fletcher received honorable mention. The seven honorees are the most for Loyola since seven received plaudits following the 1999 season. Sawyer and Ratliff are also the first Loyola players to receive All- America nods other than honorable mention since Gavin Prout was a first teamer in A Lot Of Everything The adage that a player does a little bit of everything does not necessarily apply to long-stick midfielder Scott Ratliff. The Loyola senior does a lot, as he led the teamlast year in ground balls (88) and caused turnovers (37), was fifth in goals (12) and seventh in assists (7). His 37 caused turnovers were second-most in Loyola history behind P.T. Ricci s 51 in 2009 since the stats became official that year. A Tewaaraton Award semifinalist, Ratliff was named the Most Outstanding Player of the ECAC Championships after scoring three goals, one a game-winner, and recording two assists and 16 ground balls. He had two goals, including the winner just eight seconds into overtime, and an assist versus Denver while picking up a career-high nine ground balls. Ratliff, who was also an USILA All-America Third Team member, an All-ECAC First

Ratliff s Scoring Scott Ratliff had his third multi-goal game of the season in the NCAA First Round against Canisius, and he then added a goal in the Quarterfinal against Denver, raising his season totals to 12 goals and seven assists. With his game-opening goal against the Golden Griffins, he set the Loyola singleseason record for long-pole scoring, surpassing the record of 16 points set by current assistant coach Matt Dwan his senior season in 1995 when he tallied 11 goals and five assists and earned All-America honors. Ratliff was second nationally this season in goals and points by a long pole, and his seven assists are tops in the country. Bryant s Mason Poli leads all long poles this year with 19 goals and 24 points. School Record In Wins Loyola s victory over Maryland in the NCAA Championship Game was its 18th of the season, setting a school record for victories in a year. The Greyhounds eclipsed the previous best of 13 that the 1998 squad achieved with a 13-2 record. The 18 wins also tied an NCAA Division I record for victories in a season. This is Loyola s 15th season all-time with 10 or more wins with 12 coming since the Greyhounds joined Division I in Midfield Scoring Loyola s first midfield line of Davis Butts (21g, 35p), Sean O Sullivan (16, 27) and Chris Layne (11, 25) combined for 48 goals and 39 assists this season, while the second midfield unit of Pat Byrnes (10, 7), J.P. Dalton (9, 4) and Phil Dobson (8, 2) added 26 and 13. Additionally, Nikko Pontrello has started to mix in with the second midfield, allowing Loyola s attackers the opportunity to invert, and he has four goals and six assists. Toomey Receives Morris Touchstone Award Loyola Head Coach Charley Toomey was named the ECAC Coach of the Year for the third time in his seven-year career, and in December, he received the coaches association s Morris Touchstone Award as the national coach of the year. The Greyhounds became the second team in USILA Coaches Poll history to start a season unranked and ascend to the No. 1 spot in the rankings. The only other team was Duke in 2007 a year after the Blue Devils had their season suspended in March which accomplished the feat after being unranked in the first poll, moving to second in the next version and first in the third. Duke was knocked from its perch as No. 1 that season when it lost to the Greyhounds at the First Four in San Diego. The win over Canisius in the First Round was the 60th victory of his coaching career, becoming the fourth coach in Loyola history to win 60 or more Dave Cottle (181-70, ), Charles Wenzel (62-104, ), Jay Connor (61-46, ). Toomey s.626 winning percentage trails only Cottle s.721 at Loyola. Big Runs Loyola used runs of three-plus goals at important junctures of its 19 games. In all, Loyola scored three or more in a row on 37 occasions this season. The Greyhounds used two 3-0 runs against Notre Dame in the NCAA Semifinal to advance to the title game. Loyola then broke a 3-3 tie and held Maryland scoreless for the final 40:40 of the NCAA Championship Game while scoring the last six goals of the contest. On The Flip Side Conversely, the Greyhounds allowed a run of three or more goals just 12 times this year, with the last coming when Canisius scored three in the second quarter. Only Denver (seven in ECAC Semifinal), Johns Hopkins (five), Fairfield (five), Air Force (four) have scored more than three in a row this year. Second-Half Success The Greyhounds outscored opponents in the third quarters of games and overall last year in the second half (including overtime). The second-half scoring continues a trend from 2011 when Loyola outscored opponents, 69-52, after halftime (including two overtime goals), and

6 Charley Toomey Head Coach 7th Season At Loyola 22nd Season In Coaching Loyola, 1990 Charley Toomey, who is entering his eighth season as a collegiate head coach, has put his stamp on the Loyola men s lacrosse program as a disciplined, tough, athletic and skillful unit. The Greyhounds ascended to the top of college lacrosse in 2012, winning Loyola s first-ever NCAA Division I Championship. The 2012 Loyola squad set several program records and tied the NCAA Division I record for wins in a season with 18. The Greyhounds lost just a single game during the year, winning the ECAC regularseason and tournament championships en route to the national title. Toomey was named the 2012 recipient of the Morris Touchstone as the Division I Coach of the Year, and he earned his third ECAC Coach of the Year honor. During the year, the Greyhounds featured one of the most balanced teams in the nation, finishing fifth in scoring defense (7.51 goals allowed per game) and eighth in scoring offense (12.05). Loyola s transition game was also vaunted during the year, and the Greyhounds unit has been heralded as one of the nation s best for several seasons. Toomey, who enters the 2013 season with a overall record, coaches seven players in 2012 who earned USILA All-America honors, including Mike Sawyer and Scott Ratliff who were named to the second and third teams, respectively. Eric Lusby, who was the NCAA Championships Most Outstanding Player, and Sawyer finished the year as the top two single-season scorers in school history with 54 and 52 goals, respectively. Under his direction, the Greyhounds have won at least a share of three of the last five ECAC Championships and reached the NCAA Tournament in four of the past six seasons.

Toomey was also a member of the NCAA Division I Men s Lacrosse Committee, a group responsible for selection of the NCAA Championships field and administration of the tournament. Toomey s dedication to the program stems from his long ties to the Loyola community, dating back to the day he stepped onto campus as a freshman student-athlete in He has been involved in 12 of the 18 NCAA D-I Tournament appearances in program history - three as a player, five as an assistant coach and four as a head coach. The 2012 season will be Toomey s 13th year as a coach for the Greyhounds and his 22nd overall in the coaching profession. Including his four years as a standout goalkeeper for the Greyhounds from , 2012 will be his 17th year on the Loyola campus. While his ties to the past of Loyola men s lacrosse run deep, Toomey s vision and commitment to the future of the Greyhounds is even stronger. As a student-athlete at Loyola from , Toomey was a two-time All-America selection at goalie, garnering honorable mention honors in 1989 and third-team accolades in He owns two of Loyola s top six single-game save performances in the cage, and ranks amongst the Greyhounds all-time save leaders. His 22 saves against Rutgers in the 1990 NCAA Tournament also tie him for the top postseason mark in school history. He finished his career with an astonishing 25-5 overall record, and was the last Loyola goalkeeper to start an NCAA Championship Game, starting the 1990 NCAA Final against Syracuse. Toomey and his wife, Sara, live in Anne Arundel County with their three daughters, Emma, Sophie and Lyla. Loyola s All-Time Coaching Register Coach Tenure (Years) W L T Pct. Jack Kelly (5) Emil G.
