COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland mens lacrosse squad looks to get back on the winning track after suffering an ACC Tournament semifinal loss to eventual champion Virginia, 15-6 last Friday in Chapel Hill, N.C. The Terps travel to New Haven, Conn., to face Yale for the first time in 40 years. In the last meeting between the Bulldogs and Terrapins on March 30, 1959, Maryland was victorious, 16-4.

The game will also be a homecoming for senior midfielder Erik Osberg (Darien, Conn./Darien). Osberg is the first Maryland lacrosse player from Darien High School, where he earned all-county honors as a senior.

TRIO OF TERPS HONORED BY ACC
Junior goalie Kevin Healy (Manhasset, N.Y./Manhasset) and senior defenseman Chris Lamy (Linthicum, Md./North County) were named to the 1999 All-ACC mens lacrosse team as selected by the conference coaches last Thursday.

For Healy, it marks the second year in a row he has been voted to the team. Last season, Healy was also named the ACCs Player of the Year. This season, Healy has recorded an 8.81 goals against average and a 57.1 save percentage.

Lamy has had a stellar year on defense in front of Healy. The senior captain has started all 11 games and been a stalwart. He has also shown some offensive prowess scoring his first three collegiate goals and assisting on another.

Senior attackman Scott Hochstadt (Columbia, Md./Boys Latin) was named to the ACC All-Tournament team for the fourth consecutive year after scoring four goals in Marylands loss to Virginia. Hochstadt finishes his ACC Tournament career with 19 goals in five tournament games. With the four goals, he also moved into sixth on Marylands all-time goal-scoring list.

RECORDS & RANKINGS
Maryland, 7-4 overall this season and 1-2 in the ACC, is coming off a 14-3 season in which it advanced to the NCAA Championship game for the third time in four years.

THE 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 145-67 (.684). With a lifetime record of 256-114 (.692) 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 (271-145), 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.

Yales Mike Waldvogel (Cortland 69) comes into Saturdays game with a 143-126 career record in 19-plus seasons at Yale. Waldvogel is tied with Hofstra coach John Danowski for 13th among active coaches in wins.
