1 Navy Midshipmen 2016 Lacrosse Game NOtes Gm 11: Army vs. Navy April 16 12:06 Pm West Point, N.Y. Game Day Storylines u Scene Setter: While bragging rights will once again be on the line when Army and Navy battle one another on Saturday at Michie Stadium (12:00 PM), both teams are also fighting for the right to host the Patriot League s postseason tournament slated for the week of April 25. The Mids, who enter the game 8-2 and 6-1 in Patriot League action, are led by fifth-year head coach Rick Sowell, while the 5-1 Black Knights are under the direction of 11th-year head coach Joe Alberici. Saturday s contest marks the 96th meeting in a series Navy leads, u Follow the Action: Saturday s contest will be televised live via CBS Sports Network with Jason Knapp and Steve Panarelli calling the action. Additionally, the American Forces Network will also carry the game live, bringing the action to the homes of our military men and women stationed abroad. Pete Medhurst will provide the call on 1430 AM / 99.9 FM WNAV, as well as 1500 AM WFED. Radio coverage begins with the Navy Lacrosse Pregame Show at 11:45 AM. The game will NOT be streamed online due to television coverage. u What s on the Line?: Saturday s contest is much more than just your average game. One of the most storied rivalries in college sports, the winner of Saturday s Star Game not only gains bragging rights, but each member of that team receives a star for their letter sweater signifying a victory over their archrival. Additionally, a Navy win would secure the No. 1 seed for the Mids in the Patriot League Tournament (April 26 / 28/ May 1) and at minimum a share of the Patriot League regular-season title. If Army West Point wins, the No. 1 seed and regular-season crown will still be up for grabs. u 6 Straight, Do I Hear 7?: Navy has won six in a row for the first time since 2008 when it also won six straight. The Mids have not won seven in a row since opening the 2007 campaign 8-0 en route to an 11-4 finish. Navy s six-game winning streak is the fourth longest active streak behind Air Force (10, 10-2), Yale (10, 10-0) and Maryland (7, 8-2). u Poll Analysis: #9 Navy is ranked inside the top 10 for a second consecutive week and the first time since The Mids entered the 2009 campaign ranked 11th and after wins over VMI (13-5) and 19thranked Ohio State (8-6), they pushed up to #9. The Mids, however, fell back to 12th after dropping a 9-8 decision to sixth-ranked North Carolina on the road. Navy owns a record (59.9) when ranked and a mark (61.3) when ranked among the top 10. u Dueling D: Saturday s contest will feature the fourth and fifth-ranked defenses in the country. Navy boasts a 6.70 scoring defense and has surrendered doublefigure goals just twice this season - both in double-overtime losses (12-11 vs. Johns Hopkins, 10-9 at Boston U.). Since 2004, Navy is when holding its opponent to single digits. Army, meanwhile, stands fifth with its 7.00 mark and has also given up double digits just twice this spring (13-11 loss to Rutgers and win over Lehigh). u Double Digits: Navy has scored 109 goals in 10 games this season (10.90 G/gm). The Mids have not finished a season averaging double figures since 2007 when they produced goals per contest. Navy has reached double figures in 8 games this season and have won 6 in a row when scoring 10 or more goals. u The Race to 100: Senior attackmen Patrick Keena and T.J. Hanzsche are well within range of reaching the elusive 100-point scoring mark for their careers. Just 31 players have scored 100 career points in Navy s 109-year history. Keena owns 93 points, while Hanzsche has posted 90. Breaking Down the Rivalry All-Time Army-Navy Record Navy Leads, (56.6) Navy s Overall Record vs. Army, Last 20 Yrs. Navy Leads, (61.0) Navy s Star Game Record vs. Army, Last 20 Yrs. Navy Leads, (65.0) Overall Record vs. Army (52.1) Star Game Record vs. Army (57.5) Saturday s Army-Navy men s lacrosse game is one of three remaining Star competitions of the season. In addition to Saturday s lacrosse game, the Army-Navy men s tennis match will be played on April 23 (in Annapolis) beginning at 1:00 pm. The Army- Navy baseball series will also be played in Annapolis on April Navy needs to win just one of the final three Star competitions to secure the Star Series. Meaning, if Navy defeats the Black Knights in Saturday s lacrosse game, the Midshipmen will win the Star Series for the 18th time in the last 20 years. At worst, Navy at this point has clinched at least a tie in the Star Series Star Game Victories Over Army West Point W Cross Country M Indoor Track & Field M Cross Country Gymnastics M Swimming & Diving Wrestling W Swimming & Diving W Outdoor Track & Field Football M Outdoor Track & Field M Basketball Patriot League Tournament With two weeks remaining in the Patriot League regular season, the race for not only the right to host the Patriot League Tournament as the No. 1 seed, but the race to get into the tournament remains fairly murky. Navy faithful can rest easy, however, as the Midshipmen have already punched their ticket into the six-team tournament with a 6-1 record and their final conference game played on Saturday. A Navy win on Saturday would secure the No. 1 seed for the Mids and at minimum a share of the Patriot League regular-season title The top two seeds in the tournament will receive a bye, while the remaining seeds (3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5) will play in quarterfinal games on Tuesday, April 26. Those winners will then join the top two seeds in the weekend semifinal (April 29) and championship (May 1) rounds played at the site of the highest overall seed in the tournament. The brackets will re-seed after the quarterfinal round. While the Mids currently sit atop the standings with a 6-1 record and will be joined in the tourney by Army West Point and preseason favorite Loyola who are both 5-1, along with Lehigh who is 4-3. The final two spots have yet to be determined - Bucknell and Boston U. are 3-3, Colgate and Holy Cross are 1-5 and Lafayette is 0-6. If Bucknell wins on Friday, Colgate will be out of the tournament and the Bison will be in. If Boston U. loses to Loyola, it cannot clinch a spot, however, if Holy Cross loses to Colgate, the Terriers will be in. This weekend s lineup includes a Friday night matchup between Lafayette and Bucknell (7:00 pm), along with Saturday contests between Army and Navy (12:00 pm), Boston U. and Loyola (12:00 pm) and Holy Cross and Colgate (12:00 pm). Lehigh has a nonconference matchup against Cornell on Saturday (2:30 pm). 1 Navy Midshipmen NavySports.com Game , 6-1 PL Record 8-3, 5-1 PL 9 / 10 Ranking 20 / 20 Won 6 Streak Won 1 W, 16-9 vs. Colgate Last Game W, 15-4 at Boston U.

Patriot League Tournament Semifinals Score By Quarters F #5 Army WP (10-5) #1 Navy (8-5) Despite reeling off five consecutive goals in the second half, Navy s rally fell short as Army West Point upset the top-seeded and 15th-ranked Midshipmen, 11-7, in the semifinals of the 2015 Patriot League Men s Lacrosse Tournament played in Annapolis last April. The Cadets scored the first six goals of the game on six shots as Navy was held scoreless in the opening quarter. The Mids finally got on the scoreboard at 6:55 in the second quarter when midfielder Kevin Wendel used a spin move to get his right hand free and fire in a 10-yarder off an assist from attackman T.J. Hanzsche. Army, though, would answer with a pair of goals to push its lead to seven (8-1) at the break. The Mids began to climb their way back into the game when just 58 seconds into the second half Navy midfielder Colin Flounlacker juked middie A.J. Canara on the right wing, sending his lefty shot at the ankles of 2015 Patriot League Goalkeeper of the Year Sam Somers. It would be the first of five in a row for the Mids. Down three goals heading into the fourth quarter, Navy used only 37 seconds before cutting the lead to two at 8-6 when Gabe Voumard won a foot race down the right alley and scorched the back of the net from 10 yards out. After being held scoreless by Navy for 22-plus minutes, Army senior Alex Newsome found Jimbo Moore for the extra-man goal following an interference call to put the Cadets up by three with 11:12 remaining in the game. Navy trimmed the deficit to two when Flounlacker sent a pass to Hanzsche for the doorstep goal. Army scored the final two goals of the game to post the 11-7 win and punch its ticket into the Patriot League Championship Game. Scoring Summary h-v 1 11:54 A Mullins from Cook :21 A J.

He has amassed a record in 12 years as a collegiate head coach and a mark leading the Army program. The Black Knights have three losses by a combined four goals, dropping a decision to Rutgers, a 9-8 loss to Syracuse and an 8-7 decision to Bucknell. In addition to five Patriot League wins, Army s nonconference victories include a 9-5 win over UMass, a 22-3 win against VMI and a 16-6 win against NJIT. Army is ranked among the nation s top 10 in eight statistical categories, including boasting the fifth-best scoring defense (7.00). Additionally, the Black Knights are among the top 10 in clearing percentage (#3, 91.1), faceoff winning percentage (#4, 64.6), man-down defense (#3, 77.8), scoring margin (#4,+5.91), ground balls (#5, 34.36), caused turnovers (#9, 8.73) and points per game (#10, 19.91). The Black Knights offense sits just outside of the top 10 in 11th, averaging goals per game. They have been held to single digits just 3 times this season. The attack tandem of junior Cole Johnson and freshman Nate Jones has been sensational. Johnson, who was recently added to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List, is among the nation s scoring leaders. He has amassed 54 points on 30 goals and 24 assists and is ranked #3 in points per game (4.91), #12 in goals per game (2.73) and #11 in assists per game (2.18). Jones, meanwhile, has produced 31 points on 29 goals and 2 assists. He is 18th nationally in goals per game (2.64). He is averaging the second-most goals per game in the country out of the freshman class behind Rutgers Adam Charalambides (2.73). Another freshman, AJ Barretto, has been stout on defense, starting in goal for the Black Knights where he owns a 6.80 goals-against average and a 57.6 save percentage. He is seventh in the nation in GAA and sixth in save percentage. Senior defenseman Austin Schultz and rookie pole Danny DeSanti lead the team with 14 and 10 caused turnovers respectively. Army also boasts two of the top faceoff specialists in the country in senior Alex Daly and junior Dan Grabher. Daly has won 70 of his 105 draws (66.7), while Grabher has won 83 of his 129 faceoffs (64.3). Daly is fourth nationally and Grabher is seventh. Perhaps its weakest link is handling the ball. Army is averaging turnovers per game (#33). Fifty-five of its 147 turnovers have been at the hands of its starting attackmen. Army Vs. Navy - The Series Friday s contest marks the 96th contest between Army West Point and Navy on the lacrosse field, meeting for the 84th consecutive year.

Navy owns a series advantage that included 13 straight wins by the Mids between 1998 and Navy has won 15 of the last 23 contests in the series. The Mids also own a advantage in Star Games, winning 12 of the last 18. While Army West Point has won 7 of the last 10 games in the series, Navy snapped a six-game losing skid to its rival in last year s Star Game (10-7) played in Annapolis. However, the Black Knights avenged that loss just 13 days later when they defeated the Mids, 11-7, in the Patriot League Tournament Semifinals. The Mids lead the series in West Point, although they have lost four in a row to Army on its home field. Navy s last win at Michie Stadium was on April 15, 2006, when the Mids captured an victory over the Black Knights. Navy has scored eight or more goals in 22 of the last 28 games against Army. However, the Mids have scored double figures just once in the last 10 contests against the Black Knights. Navy has held Army to single digits in 10 of the 17 games since joining the league in Player Stats vs. Army No. Player GP G A Pts Sh GB CT 2 DJ Plumer T.J.

7 Navy Lacrosse Partners with Team Impact The Navy lacrosse team was introduced to and adopted five-year-old Grayson Osborne last fall through Team IMPACT. Team IMPACT s mission is to improve the quality of life for children facing life-threatening and chronic illnesses through the power of team. Established in 2011, Team IMPACT has already matched over 900 children with collegiate teams at over 400 institutions in 45 states, improving the quality of life of hundreds of courageous children and touching the lives of over 25,000 student-athletes. For more information about the program, log on to Here s a little more about Navy s newest teammate - Grayson s favorite color is green and his favorite foods are chips & guacamole and sun butter & jelly sandwiches. He s a big fan of the TV show Star Wars Rebels and his favorite song is This Too Shall Pass by Tyler Stenson. Grayson and his family (parents Dan and Danielle, brother Holden and sister Annabelle) have a boxer named Theo and a maltese named Fitz. Grayson s favorite activities include playing Star Wars, riding his bike, fishing, being outdoors and playing with Legos. Grayson has an incredible imagination and due to the fact he is often home while his siblings are in school, he likes creating worlds and scenarios, usually based on Star Wars or Pirates that he brings the rest of the family into. He is also incredibly selfless and whenever he has to have surgery he picks out gifts to wrap and give to the other kids on his floor. Grayson served as an honorary team captain in last Saturday s game against Colgate, walking out with cocaptains Patrick Keena and Jules Godino for the coin flip and leading the team onto the field with the American flag.

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.

10 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 (.564) 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 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, 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 sits atop the Navy record book with 422 faceoff wins as the only player in program history to win 400 draws and one of just three players to win at least 300. With 112 faceoff wins this season, he stands ninth on the Mids single-season list. He is the only player in school history to win 100 faceoffs in three different seasons (#2 with 163 in 2014, #5 with 147 in 105). 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 (38 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 With 11 ground balls in last Saturday s win over Colgate, he became the school s all-time record holder with NCAA Faceoff Winning % Leaders Rk FO% FOW-A Player Dylan Protesto, Hartford Sam Talkow, Boston U Will Gural, Brown Trevor Baptiste, Denver Alex Daly, Army West Point Mike Lanham, Saint Joseph s Dan Grabher, Army West Point Kyle Rowe, Duke Zachary Mellilo, Marquette Domenic Massimillian, Cornell Brady Dove, Navy Patriot League Career Faceoff Wins List Chris Eck, Colgate, Sam Talkow, Boston U., 2014-present 479 Tom Weiss, Lehigh, Ryan Snyder, Lehigh, Tony Vozzolo, Army West Point, Robert Grabher, Colgate, Ryan McCormack, Army West Point, Graham Savio, Loyola, 2014-present Brady Dove, Navy, 2014-present 422 Jake Clarke, Bucknell, Alex Daly, Army West Point, 2013-present Navy s Career Faceoff Wins List Brady Dove 2014-present Chris Pieczonka Navy s Single-Season Faceoff Wins List Chris Pieczonka Brady Dove Max Grant Dan Sullivan Brady Dove Chris Pieczonka William Wallace Mikelis Visgauss Brady Dove 2016 Navy s Freshman Faceoff Wins List Brady Dove Mike Haertel 1997 Navy s Freshman Faceoff Attempts List Brady Dove Mike Haertel 1997 Navy s Sophomore Faceoff Wins List Brady Dove Logan West 2010 Navy s Sophomore Faceoff Attempts List Brady Dove Logan West 2010 Navy s Junior Faceoff Wins List Chris Pieczonka Max Grant William Wallace Brady Dove 2016 Navy s Junior Faceoff Attempts List Max Grant Chris Pieczonka William Wallace Frankie Coppola Logan West Brady Dove 2016 Patriot League Career Ground Balls List Peter Strid, Colgate Parker Gibson, Colgate Ryan Hanrahan, Army Robert Grabher, Colgate Ryan McCormack, Army Jason Fivek, Colgate NR 224 Brady Dove 2015 Navy s Career Ground Balls List Brady Dove 2014-present William Wallace Navy s Single-Season Ground Balls List Chris Pieczonka William Wallace Steve Looney Brady Dove Mikelis Visgauss Brady Dove William Wallace John Duthie Glen Miles Jamie Slough Pat Kiernan Kevin Caradona Mickey Jarboe Brady Dove 2016 One-Goal Decisions Navy has played 86 one-goal games (of 288) since the start of the 1996 season, winning 36 (41.9) of those contests.

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 one-goal games. Earlier this season, Navy lost two in a row by one goal, ironically both double-overtime games vs. #5 Johns Hopkins and 10-9 vs. Boston U. - before scoring a 10-9 victory over Loyola (3.19).

Dove is the Mids starting faceoff specialist who stands 11th nationally in faceoff winning percentage (63.3) this season and is the school s all-time leader in faceoff wins (422). He also holds the school record for career ground balls (224). After playing on the offensive side of the field as a freshman, Plumer has emerged as one of Navy s top short-stick defensive midfielders this season. He has the third-most caused turnovers on the team with 14, grabbed 32 ground balls and has scored 5 points on 2 goals and 3 assists. Flounlacker started 8 of Navy s 14 contests a year ago and scored 16 points (12-4). He has settled in on the second midfield line this season where he has 4 points on 2 goals and 2 assists. Goodrich played in just one game a year ago, but has seen action in five games this season as a back-up to starting pole Matt Rees. He has grabbed a pair of ground balls. 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 lacrosse letterwinner Capt. 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. 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. Home Field Advantage 2016 marks the 55th season Navy has played at least one game at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Navy earned a 5-1 victory over Delaware on Feb. 21 in what was the program s 200th game played at the stadium. Navy owns a record (62.3) at Navy- Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. 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 (66.3) 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 9 times. In its 109th year of men s lacrosse, Navy has lost 3 straight home games just 8 times #1 Virginia, #2 Johns Hopkins, #9 N. Carolina 1985 Washington College, N.

The Mids own a 6-1 record in games played at home this season, marking the first time the Mids have won six games at home since 2007 when they posted a 7-1 mark. Navy has won five straight games at home, a feat it has not accomplished in a single season since The Mids will look to extend that to six when they play their regular-season finale next Friday against Sacred Heart. The Mids haven t won six straight at home in a single season since Navy has put together a 4-0 mark in Patriot League games played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. It s the first time Navy has been undefeated in Patriot League play at home since 2010 when it was 2-0. It s the first time the Mids have been 4-0 in Patriot League action at home since Navy s 16-9 victory over Colgate last weekend marked the Mids first win at home when ranked inside the top 10 since March 19, 2008, when they defeated 12thranked Bucknell in overtime, 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 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.
