COACHES
Marylands Dick Edell (Towson 67), now in his 27th season as a head coach and 16th at the helm of Maryland, ranks among the all-time coaching greats in lacrosse history. Edell became the all-time winningest coach in ACC history when the Terps upset No. 1 Loyola in the NCAA semifinals, 19-8 on May 23, 1998. With the win, Edell passed Jim Adams who had recorded a 137-60 record with Virginia in 15 seasons.

Currently, Edell has a career ACC record of 145-65 (.690). With a lifetime record of 256-112 (.696) over the last 26-plus years following stints at the University of Baltimore, Army and Maryland, Edell is the nations second-winningest active coach. Ironically, the only coach Edell trails on the active list is Jack Emmer (270-142), who succeeded Edell at Army in 1984. "Big Man" as he is affectionately known, has led his teams to 19 NCAA Tournament appearances (15 in Division I), including 11 at Maryland. He has also led the Terps to three ACC championships and three NCAA championship game appearances. He was named the national coach of the year by the USILA in 1978 and 1995. He was also selected as the ACC Coach of the Year in 1989, 1992 and 1998.

John Haus (North Carolina 83) of Johns Hopkins is in his first season at the helm of the Blue Jays. Haus came to Hopkins after coaching Division III Washington College to a 47-21 (.691) record in four seasons. That culminated with the Shoremens first NCAA Championship last May with 16-10 victory over Nazareth. Haus had served as an assistant coach at Hopkins for eight seasons prior to taking over at Washington in 1995. From 1988-94, Haus served as the defensive coordinator at Hopkins. During his tenure as an assistant at Homewood, Hopkins posted a 62-27 record, appeared in the '89 title game, made two other appearances in the NCAA Semifinals and advanced to the 1989 title game.

SERIES HISTORY
The Maryland-Johns Hopkins rivalry is one of the most storied in the history of lacrosse. The teams will meet for the 95th time dating to Marylands club team days in 1895. Since, the Terrapins elevated to a varsity sport in 1924, Maryland has a 35-48-1 record against Johns Hopkins. There has been at least one Maryland-Hopkins game every year since 1924 with the exception of 1944 and 1945 when World War II kept the schools from fielding teams.

The teams split last years meetings with both teams winning on their home fields. Johns Hopkins topped the then-No. 1 Terps, 10-6, at Homewood Field in the regular-season meeting on April 11, 1998. But Maryland got revenge in the NCAA Quarterfinals with an 11-10 overtime victory at Byrd Stadium on May 17, 1998.

Maryland and Johns Hopkins have split the last six meetings dating to the Terps 16-8 victory in the 1995 NCAA Quarterfinals.

In the decade of the 90s, the Blue Jays hold a 7-5 lead in the series. Both teams have won three of the six games played in College Park in the 90s.

Maryland captured its first NCAA Championship with a 10-9 double-overtime victory over Hopkins on June 2, 1973. Overall, the Blue Jays have won nine of the 12 meetings in the NCAA Tournament, dating to 1971.

The Terps (23) and Jays (27) have played in the most NCAA Tournaments since it was started in 1971. Hopkins has won a record 44 tournament games, while the Terps rank third with 31 post-season wins.

Neither school has ever had a losing season in their respective histories of lacrosse.

MARYLANDS LAST GAME
APR. 10, 1999 - #7 MARYLAND 6, #9 NAVY 5

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -Marylands Marcus LaChapelle scored off a pass from Andrew Combs after Combs checked Navy goalie Mickey Jarboe to jar the ball lose, with 1:27 remaining in regulation to give the #7 Maryland Terrapins an exciting 6-5 win over #9 Navy at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium. The Terps secured the win when defenseman Chris Lamy knocked the ball out of the stick of Jamie OLeary with 10 seconds left and lofted the ball downfield to run the clock out.

In a game that was defensive struggle, the Terps (7-2) got on the board first as Combs scored his seventh goal of the season, to set a single-season career high, with 8:57 left in the first quarter. Navy then retaliated with the next three goals all from Ed McKinnon at the 1:33 mark of the first, the 13:17 mark of the second and at 9:58 of the third to give the Middies a 3-1 lead.

Maryland then responded with three goals in 1:06 span as Brian Zeller, Brian Haggerty and Nate Watkins scored near the end of the third quarter to give the Terps a 4-3 lead.

Navy (5-4) came back with the tying goal from Adam Borcz and go-ahead goal from Kevin Meehan to take a 5-4 lead with 5:21 left in the game.

But Watkins came back with his second goal of the game, to set a career-high for a single-game, as he rifled a shot past Jarboe with 3:06 left in the game. That set the stage for LaChapelles game winner.

The Terps outshot the Middies 36-26 and scooped up 53 groundballs as compared to 40 for Navy. Haggerty had a great day in the face-off circle winning 11 of 14 draws as Maryland won 12 of 15 as a team.

Maryland junior goalie Kevin Healy stopped 12 shots including eight in the third quarter to help Maryland to victory.

HOCKEY HELD POINTLESS AFTER HOT STREAK
After scoring 12 goals over a five game span, Scott Hochstadt was held pointless in the win over Navy for the first time since the final game of his freshman season, an NCAA Quarterfinal loss to Johns Hopkins on May 19, 1996. Hochstadt had tallied at least one point in 41 consecutive games dating back to the start of the 1997 season.

It also marked the second time this season Hochstadt did not score a goal in a game, he also failed to score against Providence, but picked up three assists in that game. Prior to that game against the Friars, Hochstadt had scored a goal in 25 straight games dating to April 12, 1997 against Johns Hopkins.

Despite his pointless game, Hochstadt is still tied for the team-high in points with 21 and is second in goals with 16.
