Five Terps Earn USILA Men's Lacrosse All-American Honors
May 29, 2001 COLLEGE PARK, Md. - The Maryland men's lacrosse team placed five players on the STX/USILA Division I Men's Lacrosse All-American team. Senior goalie Pat McGinnis (Ellicott City, Md.) became the first Maryland player since 1996 to earn first team All-American honors as he shared the spot for first-team goalie with Princeton's Trevor Tierney. Two Terps, senior attackman Andrew "Buggs" Combs (Baltimore, Md.) and sophomore defenseman Michael Howley (Wantagh, N.Y.) were named second team All-Americans. Senior midfielder Chris Malone (Timonium, Md.) and sophomore attackman Mike Mollot (Holbrook, N.Y) were also named honorable mention All-Americans. Before McGinnis, the Terps' last first team All-American was goalie Brian Dougherty, six years ago. McGinnis emerged as one of the nation's premier players, finishing second in the country in goals against average (6.48) and save percentage (.653). McGinnis was a Tewaaraton Trophy Candidate as the nation's outstanding collegiate men's lacrosse player. He also earned All-ACC honors as a senior and was named National Player of the Week on April 16 after a sensational 21-save effort against Johns Hopkins. He was also named ACC Player of the Week (March 26) and Maryland student-athlete of the week on two occasions. McGinnis finished his career with the lowest career save percentage (.634) of any player in Maryland's storied lacrosse history. Combs led the nation in goals for most of the 2001 season before finishing second in the country with 50 in 16 games (3.13). His 50 goals ranks as the second highest single-season total in Maryland lacrosse history, behind Mark Douglas' 52 in 1991. He led the team with 56 points in 2001. Combs finished his career with 87 goals, the 15th greatest career total at Maryland. He earned All-ACC honors and was named the conference's player of the week on March 5. Combs made a meteoric rise as a senior, surpassing his entire three-year career total of 37 goals midway through the 2001 season. He was named to the Denver Pioneer Face-Off Classic All-Tournament Team and named National Player of the Week (March 12) after a career-high six goals at Delaware on March 10. Combs scored in every game of 2001 and scored multiple goals on 12 occasions this past season. Howley anchored one of the nation's dominant close defenses. The 2000 ACC Rookie of the Year led the Terps in groundballs in 2001 with 57 and finished with two goals and three assists for five points. Howley consistently defended the opponent's top attackman and helped Maryland to a 6.31 goals against average, second in the nation. Howley was named to the All-ACC team and the ACC All-Tournament team in 2001. He was also named to the Denver Pioneer Face-Off Classic All-Tournament Team. Malone finished a solid career at Maryland with 16 goals and 13 assists for 29 points as a senior. A third team All-American by the USILA last season, Malone closed his career with 60 goals and 97 points. Malone was named the Most Valuable Player of the Denver Pioneer Face-Off Classic as well as earning a spot on the All-Tournament Team in Denver. Malone had goals in 10 of 16 gams this season. Mollot had his second straight 40-point season finishing with 19 goals and 21 assists for 40 points in 2001. He was named to the ACC All-Tournament team and named Maryland student-athlete of the week on April 25. Mollot recorded points in 13 of 16 games as a sophomore. He posted seven points against Air Force in the season opener and six points at Yale late in the season.
