with what has been the staple of the program for the last few years --
defense. The No. 6 Terps shutout visiting No. 23 Hobart for the first three
quarters, building a 9-0 lead, on the way to a 13-6 victory at the
Artificial Turf Facility.
Sophomore Dan LaMonica (Parkton, Md.) led the Terps with five points on two
goals and three assists, junior Mike Mollot (Holbrook, N.Y.) added three
goals and an assist.
"I thought we played very well in the first three quarters. Our defense was
strong," said Cottle, who joins all previous seven Maryland lacrosse coaches
with victories debuts with the Terps. "I thought our young midfielders did a
great job and Brian Carroll really set the tone with his face-offs."
On face-offs, senior Brian Carroll (East Rockaway, N.Y.) won 12 of his 18
draws, including eight of 11 in the first three periods. Junior goalie Dan
McCormick (McLean, Va.), making his first start as a Terp made 14 saves and
allowed just three goals before giving way to freshman T.C. Behm (Villanova,
Pa.) with four minutes left in regulation.
The win improved Maryland's record to an amazing 73-3-1 all-time in season
openers, dating back to the start of the program in 1924. The Terps have won
nine straight openers now.
In building the 9-0 lead, Nate Watkins (Elmira, N.Y.) and Dan LaMonica
(Parkton, Md.) each scored two goals in the run. LaMonica also assisted on
three consecutive goals after the Terps went up 1-0 on Watkins first, just
1:51 into the game. LaMonica fed J.R. Bordley (Vienna, Va.), Matt Brock
(Manakin-Sabot, Va.) and Watkins -- for his second -- to make it 4-0 2:05
into the second quarter.
After Alex Poole (Hunt Valley, Md.) made it 5-0, LaMonica scored consecutive
goals bridging the second and third quarters to make it 7-0. Craig Hochstadt
(Columbia, Md.) and Willy Passavia (Stony Brook, N.Y.) scored to close the
third with a 9-0 Terp advantage.
Hobart finally got on the board after taking 15 shots with no success
through three quarters as Scott Harvey scored his first of four goals in the
game.
The Statesmen's offense went to work in the fourth outscoring the Terps,
6-4, but it was too late as Maryland had built an insurmountable lead. In
that fourth, Mike Mollot (Holbrook, N.Y.) recorded a hat trick with three
goals over a span of 7:29. Mike LaMonica (Parkton, Md.) also got on the
board with a pretty goal shot from behind his head to beat Hobart goalie
Mike Borsz.
