Catonsville, MD-- The #5 Terrapins are in town today to take on the UMBC Retrievers.  Maryland leads the all time series 24-7 and will be looking to add number 25 today to continue their undefeated streak.  In order to do this, goalie Brian Phipps will need to continue his hot streak against Bobby Stockton (11G, 3A) and Kyle Wimer (5G, 10A) and the rest of the Retrievers offense.  Terps Coach Dave Cottle will be looking for his trio of hot players to step up today.  Grant Catalino, Will Yeatman, and Ryan Young will be asked to bare the load for the Terps. 

It's a great summer-like day out here at UMBC Stadium.  Both teams are warming-up, getting ready for the 12:00pm Face-Off time.  We are expecting a larger crowd at the game today.

Towson, MD--  The 0-3 Towson Tigers welcome in cross town foe Naval Academy (3-3) for a big Tuesday night clash.  Both teams are coming off of losses over the weekend and will be looking to turn the tide.  Coach Tony Seaman will need to get a win tonight to try to save the Tiger's season.  The Tiger's offense will need to be carried once again by Will Harrington (9 G, 1 A) and Christian Pastirick (5 G, 5 A) in order to get the first win of the year.  It will be interesting to see which Tiger goalie will get the start tonight.  Rob Wheeler is the only one to play in all three games.  Wheeler, however, is only boasting a .362 save percentage, while his counterpart Travis Love a .571 save percentage.  On the other side of the match-up, Coach Ritchie Meade will be looking to lead the Midshipmen back into the top 20.  He will be looking to his own two headed offensive monster with Patrick Moran and Andy Warner both with 10 goals and 5 assists on the year.  The big difference for the Midshipmen in the game tonight will be the consistent play of goal keeper R.J. Wickham.

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.

Baltimore, MD -- The Blue Hens have made their second trip to the Baltimore area in four days.  The last time they came to Charm City, they defeated #14 ranked UMBC.  Today, they will try to derail #5 Johns Hopkins.  Its a cold and windy day at Homewood this evening.  Hopkins leads the all time series 6-0.  The last game between these two teams was the 2007 NCAA Semi Finals, where the Blue Jays won 8-3.  Today we will be keeping our eye on Delaware's Curtis Dickson and JHU's Micheal Kimmel.

Hopkins wins the opening face-off of the game.

14:38 - JHU Goal - Michael Kimmel from Chris Lightner.  1-0 JHU
Lightner is a freshman starter from Calvert Hall.

Delaware is continuing to play 4 long poles on defense.  A strategy that worked pretty well against UMBC. 

8:52 - JHU Goal - Kyle Wharton scores unassisted.  His first of the year.  2-0 JHU

6:31 - Things are getting a little feisty.  Tempers are flaring fighting over the ground ball.  We are seeing a lot of early mistakes from both teams.  This is what happens when you spend 2 weeks practicing in a gym.

4:37 - Del Goal - Curtis Dickson from Pat Lombard.  2-1 JHU.  Sam DeVore from JHU fell on the play, opening up the lane for Dickson.  This was Dickson's 12th straight game with a goal.

4:02 - Del Goal - Martin Cahill from Kevin Kaminski.  2 All.

2:37 - JHU Goal - Wharton (2) from Tom Palasek.  3-2 JHU.  The Delaware defense was a bit too aggressive and over played the ball.  Hopkins showed the ball movement we are used to seeing to get that goal.

1:44 - JHU Goal - Kimmel (2) from Steven Boyle.  4-2 JHU.  It looks to us that Hopkins has figured out this 4 pole defense. 

Against UMBC, the Blue Hens were playing 3 poles high in box and one back.  Today, they are playing one high and 3 back.  We will see if Coach Shillinglaw makes any changes to the D as the game goes on.

At the end of the 1st Quater, Johns Hopkins 4, Delaware 2.

Here are some 1st Quarter stats:  Face-off 5-2 in favor of JHU.  Shots JHU 8, Del 9.

13:53 - Del Goal - Kaminski scores unassisted.  4-3 JHU

12:58 - JHU Goal - Kimmel (3) scores unassisted.  5-3 JHU.  Kimmel once again scoring off a roll dodge to the right side.  Delaware playing a tight man defense.  However, Hopkins' ball movement is really quick.

Bartram Scouting Report Note: Kimmel goes to the right on most goals and shoots to the upper portions of the net.

9:40 - JHU Goal - Zach Palmer from Wharton.  6-3 JHU.  Palmer is another freshman on this Blue Jay's squad who is seeing a lot of playing time.

Bartram Scouting Report Note: Dickson is not quite fast enough to turn the corner on the JHU Defense.

6:53 - Del Goal - John Austin from Phil Rollins. It was a text book give and go play.  6-4 JHU

Side Note:  Del #56 Dan Cooney is taking most of the face-offs today in place of Tommy Lee.  He drives straight to the goal when he wins a face-off. 

Scores:  Bryant 5, Army 4 in the 3rd.  UVA beats Mount St Mary's 15-5.

3:10 - JHU Goal - Steven Boyle scores from Kimmel on the diving Superman goal.  7-4 JHU
Boyle made a great move from the X, taking it to the right side and diving  forward in the crease.

Delaware has dominated the time of possession, however, they keep making mistakes that Hopkins has been able to capitalize on.  Steven Boyle has been doing a great job of directing traffic on offense.  He has been staying at the X and getting a great look at the Delaware defense.   

End of the 1st Half - JHU 7 Delaware 4.  Get yourself a sandwich and join us in 15mins for the 3rd quarter of action.

Here are some first half stats: Shots: Del 26 JHU 15.  Ground Balls: Del 12 JHU 14.  Face Offs: Del 6 JHU 7.  Saves: Del 1 JHU 6.  Turnovers: Del 7 JHU 8.

Bartram Scouting Report:  Delaware  won 2 face-offs with Tommy Lee.  They replaced him with Cooney and have won 4 of 6 since.

Final Score Update Bryant beats Army 7-6.

Tommy Lee start the second half with the face off win.  However, he just limped off the field.

13:12 - JHU Goal - Max Chawtin from Kimmel (2).  8-4 JHU

Cooney back in on the Face-Off for Del and gets the win.  Hopkins playing a zone defense.

Coach Pietramala just gave the official a piece of his mind.  If you arent familiar with this.  Lets just say I would never want to get on Coach's bad side.

9:56 - JHU Goal - Boyle (2) scores unassisted on a nice turnaround move.  9-4 JHU

8:20 - Gvozden makes a split  save.  Very impressive

8:02 - JHU Goal - Wharton(3) from Kimmel(3).  Kimmel has a career high in points.  10-4 JHU.

Delaware is 0 for 5 on shots in the second half.

3:48 - Del Goal - Cahill (2) from Nick Elsmo.  Nice submarine shot from Cahill.  That was Cahill's 8th goal of the year.  10 - 5 JHU

At the end of the 3rd, JHU 10, Delaware 5.

Cooney is back out for the face-off.  It looks like Shillinglaw is content to rotate FOGO players.

Hopkins wins the face off and tries to hurry the offense.  When the initial drive didn't result in a shot, they slowed it down.

10:44 - JHU EMO Goal - Boyle (3) from Kimmel (4) on a great ball movement goal.  11 - 5 JHU

8:57 - JHU Goal - John Ranagan scores his first goal of his career on a nice roll dodge, switching from right to left hand. 12 - 5 JHU

7:33 - JHU Goal - Palmer (2) scores unassisted.  He wanted this goal from the minute he got the ball.  He dodged two players and added the fake on the crease to get the score.  13 - 5 JHU

6:29 - JHU Goal - Wharton (4) scores unassisted.  New Goalie in for Delaware.  15 - 5 JHU

6:21 - JHU Goal - Boyle (4) from Eric DiProspero.  Original Goalie back in for Delaware.  16 - 5 JHU.

5:40 - Del Goal - Cahill (3) scores unassisted.  This is his 12th career hat trick.  16 - 6 JHU

3:40 - Del Penalty - Slashing.  Hopkins goes on the EMO

2:41 - JHU Penalty - Personal foul.  Del on the EMO

1:43 - A broken stick and a penalty called on Del for slashing.  5 on 5 play.

“Weare very excited to again gain 3 players in a trade who can be part of the 19man roster right away,” said General Manager Spencer Ford. “Jeff Zywicki is a gamer, no matter what league he plays in; he alwaysputs himself at the top of the scoring leaders. He will help take our team to the nextlevel with his ability to score goals. Having Jeff, Danny Glading, Ben Rubeor,John Christmas and Andrew Combs makes us one of the best units in the game andwill cause match-up problems for the other teams.”

  Zywicki,a 2005 graduate of the University of Massachusetts, has scored 87 goals in 39career games including back-to-back 31 goal seasons in 2007 and 2008. Last year he scored 19 goals and had 14 assists for the Nationals.  Inaddition to being a member of the last two MLL Championship teams, Zywicki wona Gold Medal as a member of Team Canada at the 2006 World Championships.

  “JordanLevine is an unbelievable transition midfielder who can play D, run between thelines and score,” said Ford. “He will help us in a big way. Alongwith Matt Abbott, Benson Erwin, Billy Glading and Alex Buckley, we will be veryhard to beat from the midfield and they will again cause matchup problems whentransitioning the ball from D to O.”

Levineis entering his 3^rd MLL season and will be joining his 3^rdteam.  After completing his college career at Albany he was the 10^thoverall pick in the 2008 collegiate draft by New Jersey and then played forToronto in 2009.  Levine has registered 24 points in 21 career MLL games(12 goals, 12 assists) including 7 goals in 10 games last year for Toronto.

“NickO'Hara can flat out play,” stated Ford. “He helps our defense inall aspects because of his ability to get the ball from one end to the other.He is very good at creating scoring opportunities after making a defensiveplay.”

O’Harawas a third round selection in the 2008 draft by Rochester after finishing uphis collegiate career at Duke University.

“Allin all, we are thrilled to have these 3 young men join the Bayhawks. They willbe huge in helping us get back to Championship Weekend,” said Ford.

TheBayhawks sent Kevin Huntley, Josh Sims a 2010 5^th round CollegiateDraft pick, and a 2011 3^rd round Collegiate Draft pick to Toronto.  Huntley, agraduate of Johns Hopkins University, was the 17^th overall selectionin the 2008 Collegiate Draft and went on to win Cascade Rookie of the Yearhonors after registering 30 goals and 5 assists for Los Angeles.  Kevinwill join his father Dave Huntley, head coach of the Nationals.  Prior tothe 2009 season he was sent to Washington as part of the re-allocation process. He scored 23 goals and registered 6 assists in his second season.

Simsis one of four remaining players from the original 18 allocated players at theinception of the league prior to the 2001 season.  He spent his first 5MLL seasons with the Baltimore Bayhawks before joining Denver in 2006.  Hewas selected by Washington in December’s Supplemental Draft and now willbe heading to Toronto.  In 80 career games Sims has scored 116 goals (15two-point goals) and has registered 57 assists.  In 9 games last seasonwith Denver he had 11 goals and 9 assists helping lead the Outlaws to the MLLChampionship game where they fell to Toronto.

“LosingKevin Huntley is very hard for us; we think the world of him and thank him for allhe has done,” said Ford. “The kid is a gamer; we will always seehim as a 30 plus goal scorer year in and year out. I told Kevin the only way wewould let him go would be to give him and his father the opportunity to be partof the same organization. It’s not every day a person can say he or shewent to and excelled at the same university as their dad or playedinternationally, pro indoor and pro outdoor for their dad. The Huntleys willhave a great story for a long time to come and we wish them only the best.”
