Baltimore, MD--  M&T Bank Stadium is hosting the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic again this year.  Our first game on the ticket is Maryland vs Duke.  This game should be exciting.  We will see if it as crazy as the basketball game at Comcast Center this past Saturday.  The Terps will not have the emotion of Greivis Vasquez for this game, however, they will be getting their motivation from goaltender Brian Phipps and attackman Grant Catalino.  On the other side of the ball, Duke will be counting on US National Team member Ned Crotty and his wingman Max Quinzani for points.  No matter what the sport, it doesn't get better than Maryland vs Duke.
