Maryland leads the series, 51-33-1, however, the Midshipmen have won five of the last seven contests, including a 10-4 victory the last time the two battled in Annapolis (2009). Maryland also holds a 27-20-1 series lead in games played in Annapolis. Eight of the last 12 games played between the two teams have been decided by one goal, including four of the last six meetings... meanwhile, four of the last six games played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium have been decided by one goal. Just three players on Navy s roster have scored goals against Maryland... senior midfielder Andy Warner owns three points (2-1) against the Terps, while junior midfielder Nikk Davis has two (1-1)... senior defensive midfielder Brian Striffler has also scored a goal against Maryland. Navy s three starting attackmen - junior Taylor Reynolds and freshmen Tucker Hull and Sam Jones - will make their first appearance in the Navy-Maryland rivalry. Making his debut against the Terps a year ago, keeper RJ Wickham turned back 17 Maryland shots while giving up 11 goals. Navy s 9-6 win over Maryland in 2004 is the only document win by the Mids over a No. 1-ranked opponent in program history.

The 20 combined goals marked the largest scoring output by the two teams combined since 1998 when Maryland defeated the Midshipmen, 21-7. Meanwhile, the win by the Terps was their first over the Midshipmen at Byrd Stadium since 2002. After finding itself down 1-0 with just over five minutes to play in the opening period, Navy put together a 3-0 run that extended into the second quarter thanks to its midfield tandem of Joe Lennon and Patrick Moran. Moran sent his pass to Lennon who punched in his first of three goals on the afternoon. With one minute exactly on the clock, Moran s extra-man s sidewinder from 10 yards out scooted past Maryland keeper Brian Phipps to give the Mids a 2-1 advantage. Navy carried over the momentum in the second period when attackman Andy Warner found Lennon for a long shot from the left wing. Back-to-back turnovers by the Mids would put the ball right back in Maryland s hands and eventually the Terps would take advantage of it. Actually, junior attackman Grant Catalino would take advantage as he put together a hat trick in less than three minutes time and helped the Terps take a 4-3 advantage at the half. The Mids wasted little time in evening the score as midfielder Nikk Davis wheeled his way down the left side of the field, switched hands and fired in the game-tying goal at the 13:49 mark in the third. The Terps came back guns a blazing, outscoring Navy 4-1 over the next five minutes. It turned into the Ryan young-to-travis Reed show as the tandem paired up for three of the four goals in the run that turned the momentum towards the Terps and gave Maryland an 8-5 lead, the largest lead by either team in the contest. Navy refused to lie down, however, as senior attackman Kyle Kapron scored three straight for the Mids, with a Maryland goal sandwiched between the second and third goal, to close the gap to one at 9-8. But every time Navy would close to within one, Maryland had an answer. Following kapron s third goal, Reed scored his fourth goal of the game. A minute later, Navy again trimmed the lead to one when Lennon turned in his first hat trick of the season on a shot that caught the inside corner of the far pipe. Maryland added an insurance goal with 7:16 left when young s five-yard shot from the left side made its way in for the final, 11-9. Goalkeeper RJ Wickham turned aside 17 shots, his 10th double-digit save game of the season. The Mids man-down defense held Maryland in check. The Terps came into the game ranked No. 2 nationally in extra-man offense, but the Mids stymied their attack and Maryland ended the day 0-for-2.

Both are among the nation s top five statistical leaders in a handful of categories... Hull is ranked No. 3 in points per game (3.30) and stands No. 2 in assists per game (1.40). Jones, on the other hand, is the No. 4-ranked freshman in points per game (3.20) and is No. 3 in goals per game (2.10). Both Hull and Jones were named to Inside Lacrosse s top 25 freshman rankings released on March 23... Jones came in at No. 7 and Hull was ranked No. 9. Both players are also active among Navy s all-time freshmen leaders in points, goals and assists. 2011 NCAA Freshman Points Leaders 1. 3.70 16-21-37 Nicky Galasso, North Carolina 2. 3.33 20-10-30 kevin Cernuto, St. John s 3. 3.30 19-14-33 Tucker Hull, Navy 4. 3.20 21-11-32 Sam Jones, Navy 5. 3.00 17-10-27 Scott klimchak, Rutgers 2011 NCAA Freshman Goals Leaders 1. 2.45 27 (11 gm) Shayne Adams, Detroit 2. 2.22 20 (9 gm) kevin Cernuto, St. John s 3. 2.10 21 (10 gm) Sam Jones, Navy 4. 2.00 18 (9 gm) Mike Mawdsley, Sacred Heart 2.00 18 (9 gm) Ty Thompson, Albany 2011 NCAA Freshman Assists Leaders 1. 2.10 21 (10 gm) Nicky Galasso, North Carolina 2. 1.40 14 (10 gm) Tucker Hull, Navy 3. 1.33 12 (9 gm) Shane Sturgis, Penn State Plenty of Goals to Go Around With three regular-season games remaining, the Mids are averaging 10.00 goals per game... it s the program s best scoring average since the 2007 squad averaged 11.00 goals (165 G, 15 Gms). During head coach Richie Meade s 17-year career at the Academy, Navy has averaged 11 or more goals just four times... the 2004 squad was Navy s most prolific scoring team, averaging 12.28 goals per game (221 G, 18 Gms). Navy s starting attack has accounted for 49 of the team s 100 goals (49.0), while the starting midfield has contributed 34 goals (34.0)... the starters as a whole have been responsible for 83 of the 100 goals (83.0). Fourteen different players have scored at least one goal for the Mids this season, including rookie Sam Jones who has scored a goal in nine of the 10 contests this season... he has turned in a trio of hat tricks, including a team-high tying four goals against VMI and Lafayette. The freshman tandem of Sam Jones and Tucker Hull has been outstanding... Jones leads the team with 21 goals and 11 assists, while Hull has dealt out 14 assists to go along with his 19 goals.

Navy s 81 wins over the last eight years are tied as the seventh most in the country, while its 66.9 winning percentage is the ninth best. Navy has made appearances in the NCAA Tournament in six of the last seven seasons... having made six straight from 2004-09, it was the third-longest consecutive streak behind Johns Hopkins (38) and Maryland (7). During that 2004-10 stretch, Navy is 31-27 (53.4) against ranked teams and 50-12 (80.6) against unranked foes. Since the start of the 2004 season, Navy owns a 12-17 (41.4) record against teams ranked higher than it in the USILA Coaches Poll... against lower ranked or unranked teams, Navy is 69-21 (76.6). The Mids have posted a 40-14 (74.1) record at home, outscoring their foes, 575-367, during that span... just 11 teams have reached double digits on Navy s home field during that stretch. The Mids are also respectable on road, owning a 29-21 record (58.0) in true road affairs over the last eight years and defeating 14 ranked teams in the process... five of Navy s 21 road losses have come against unranked Patriot League opponents. Along the way, the Mids have produced the top-three win totals in school history during this stretch... in 2004, Navy won 15 games en route to its NCAA Championship Game appearance and in 05, the Mids produced 12 wins in earning their second-consecutive NCAA Tournament berth... Navy won 11 games in 2006, 07 and 09. The Class of 2007 became the winningest class in school history on March 21, 2007, when it claimed its 45th win in 56 contests... the Class of 07 won 49 of its 64 contests (76.6). Navy won 10 or more games in a program-record six straight seasons (15 in 2004, 12 in 2005, 11 in 2006, 07 and 09 and 10 in 2008).

Hull joined Navy s all-time freshman assists list following the Lafayette game (3-12)... he is the first rookie to add his name to the list since Ian Dingman in 2003... Dingman dealt out 17 assists as a freshman and ranks sixth... Hull is just the fourth player under Richie Meade s watch among the list. Going into Friday s game against the Terps, Hull is seventh on the list and trails sixth-place Dingman by just three helpers. Navy s leading scorer with 33 points, Hull joined the Mids all-time freshman points leader board following his three-goal, one-assist effort at Georgetown (4-1)... he stands in a three-way tie for eighth on the list alongise James Chambers (1946) and Nick Mirabito (2005), who was the last Navy player to join the list. With his goal at Holy Cross (3-19), Jones moved into a tie for 10th place on Navy s all-time freshman goals scored list alongside National Lacrosse Hall of Famer Jeff Long (1974)... Jones stands tied for ninth on the list with 21 goals and trails eighth-place Brendan Schneck (1977) by just one goal. Meanwhile, Jones also dealt out an assist against Holy Cross to move into the freshman assists list where he currently sits ninth with 11 helpers... he needs two assists to tie eighth-place Mike Chanenchuk (1976). Sitting just outside of the top 10 in points is Jones who has amassed 32 points to date... he is just one point shy of joining the list. Jones turned in four goals in his Navy debut against VMI (2-12), the best goal-output by a Navy freshman since Basil Daratsos scored four goals against Colgate on March 21, 2007. The rookie scored four goals for a second time when he put forth a five-point effort in Navy s opener at Lehigh... he is now just the second player under Richie Meade s watch to score four goals twice in his rookie season, joining Ian Dingman (2003). Hull, meanwhile, scored four goals at Bucknell. While only six different freshmen have scored four goals in a game during Meade s 17-year coaching run at Navy, no two freshmen have scored four goals in the same season until this season. 4 Tucker Hull Bucknell 3-7-11 4 Sam Jones Lehigh 3-1-11 4 Sam Jones VMI 2-12-11 4 Basil Daratsos Colgate 3-21-07 4 Conor Mckenzie Colgate 3-20-04 4 Ian Dingman Stony Brook 3-22-03 4 Ian Dingman Massachusetts 3-8-03 4 Adam Borcz Penn 3-7-98 No Navy freshman under Meade s watch has ever scored more than four goals in a game.

2011 Navy Lacrosse Fast Facts Dating back to 2009, at least one Navy player has turned in a hat trick in 21 of the last 32 games... freshman Sam Jones has punched in four goals twice this season, while fellow rookie attackman Tucker Hull turned in a career-best four-goal effort at Bucknell. Jones, Hull and senior Andy Warner finished the Lafayette contest (3-12) with hat tricks... it s the first time Navy has fielded hat tricks by three different players in a single game since Basil Daratsos (4), William Wallace (4) and Ian Dingman (3) collaborated for 11 of Navy s 15 goals in a 15-10 win over Colgate on March 21, 2007. Hull is the only player on the roster to produce a point in all 10 games this season... Warner has recorded a point in every game he has played in this season, however, he missed last week s Georgetown game after sustaining a concussion the week prior against Georgetown... in fact, Warner boasts a 21-game point streak that dates back to last year s Lehigh game and is tied as the nation s 22nd longest streak. Jones has scored a goal in nine of the Mids 10 games this season... meanwhile Hull has dealt out an assist in nine of Navy s 10 contests. Rookie attackman Harrison Chaires recorded his firstcollegiate hat trick in the Mids win over Holy Cross, all of which were on extra-man... he is the first Navy player to score three man-up goals since Adam Borcz did it against Penn State on April 14, 2001. Since 2004, Navy owns an amazing 53-2 record when holding its opponents to six or fewer goals, including an 11-1 mark in the last three seasons combined. Junior keeper RJ Wickham finished the Georgetown game with a career-high 20 saves... he is Navy s first goalie to reach the 20-save milestone since Seth DiNola turned back 21 shots against Penn State in 2003. Navy s defense dealt Holy Cross an 8-3 loss on March 19, the lowest scoring output by a Navy opponent since March 20, 2010, when Navy defeated Holy Cross, 12-3... the Mids followed up by holding Colgate to just five goals in a 5-4 loss... it s the fewest goals allowed in back-to-back games since 2009 when Navy defeated Maryland 10-4 and followed up with an 8-4 victory over arch rival Army.

2011 Navy Lacrosse Honors Freshman attackman Tucker Hull and junior keeper RJ Wickam were the recipients of this week s Patriot League Rookie and Goalkeeper of the Weeks honors. Earning his second Rookie of the Week citation this season, Hull was responsible for three goals and an assist in the Mids 9-8 heart breaker against Georgetown last Friday night... it was his third hat trick of the season, as he extended his point-scoring streak to 10-straight since putting on a Navy jersey... down four goals with 11 minutes to play in the game, Hull helped spearhead a furious comeback by the Mids... he fed classmate Sam Jones for a goal at 4:25 in the fourth and just 11 seconds later he took a Jones pass and stuck it past Hoya keeper Jack Davis for an extra-man goal that trimmed Georgetown s lead to two. Hull is one of three different Navy players who have received Rookie of the Week honors this spring, joining Jones and Harrison Chaires... a Navy player has been selected as the rookie of the week in four of the seven weeks it has been awarded. Wickham enjoyed one of his best days in a Navy uniform, producing a career-high 20 saves against the Hoyas in what was the second-most stops by a Patriot League keeper this season... it marked the first 20-save performance by a Navy goalkeeper since the 2003 season when Seth DiNola turned away 21 shots on goal against then-ecac foe Penn State... Wickham faced a total of 45 shots in the game, with 10 coming from the nation s top goal scorer in Davey Emala... six of Emala s shots were on goal with Wickham turning aside five of them... Wickham finished the game boasting a 71.4 save percentage. The reigning Goalkeeper of the year, Wickham has been selected as the Goalkeeper of the Week five times during his career, however this is his first award of the 2011 campaign. All In the Family During Richie Meade s 17 years as the head coach at Navy, he has coached numerous sets of brothers. Some of those brother tandems have been simultaneous, like Andy ( 11) and Ryan Warner ( 14), who are members of the 2011 team... while others, like Shane ( 09) and Pat Durkin ( 14), just missed playing alongside one another. This year s team features a young man who is a thirdgeneration player... rookie attackman Sam Jones father, David, was the co-captain of the 1982 Navy lacrosse team... he was a member of teams that made three trips to the NCAA Tournament, including the 1981 tourney in which Navy was a semifinalist... meanwhile, his grandfather, Jack, was a two-time All-American goalkeeper under the legendary Dinty Moore and was the 1954 recipient of the Ensign C. Markland kelly Award, which is presented to the nation s top goalkeeper... he also led the Mids to the 1954 USILA National Championship... he is a member of the Class of 1955.

Named the s Goalkeeper of the year, perhaps his biggest accomplishment was being one of just 26 players nationwide to be named a Tewaaraton Trophy nominee. He finished his sophomore season with 188 saves, reaching double digits in 10 of the 15 games. Behind his 17-save effort at Maryland, he joined the Mids single-season top 20 leader board... following a nine-save effort against Johns Hopkins which earned him his fourth Goalkeeper of the Week citation, he moved into 13th on the list.

He became only the 12th player in school history to reach 300-career saves when he turned away nine shots on goal against Colgate (3-26). Totaling 326 saves over three seasons, he is just eight away from entering Navy s all-time top 10... Steve Nims (1983-86) currently holds the No. 10 slot with 334 saves. Navy s leader in ground balls in each of the last two years... pacing the Mids this season with 39, alongside faceoff specialist Logan West... owns 114-career grounders (15 in 09, 60 in 10 and 39in 11).
