COLLEGE
PARK, Md. - Jeremy Sieverts scored his first hat trick as a Terrapin to
lead the 10th-ranked University of Maryland men's lacrosse team to an
11-7 win over No. 19 UMBC Saturday afternoon at Chevy Chase Bank Field
at Byrd Stadium.
Sieverts, a sophomore who transferred in from
Butler when the Bulldogs dropped their men's lacrosse program in
January, scored the game's first two goals to give the Terps a 2-0
lead. The first goal was unassisted as Sieverts beat Retriever goalie
Jeremy Blevins on the short side with a spinning shot from the right
side of the crease. His second score came at the 5:35 mark when he took
a pass from freshman Adam Sear 12 yards out directly in front of the
UMBC goal. Sieverts then drilled the shot into the top left corner of
the net.
Midfielder Alex Hopmann got the Retrievers on the board
with two minutes left in the first with a 13-yard blast off an assist
from Terry Kimener. Kimener then tied the game early in the second
quarter with his first of three goals on the day. Hopmann fired a shot
wide of the Terps' goal, but Drew Westervelt was in the right place at
the right time and picked up the groundball and quickly flipped a pass
to a wide open Kimener, who was all alone on the right side of the
crease for an easy score.
But that would be the last time the
Retrievers were in the game as Maryland would rip off a 4-0 run over
the next 10:57 to take control of the contest.
Sophomore Danny
Gallagher got the run started with an unassisted goal, his sixth of the
season, at the 11:55 mark of the second quarter. Sieverts tacked on his
third of the game, off another assist from Sear, less than a minute
later on a 10-yard shot.
Maryland's defense turned into offense
to build the lead to three, 5-2, at the 9:19 mark. Junior Zach Hinton,
who played both short-stick and long pole defensive midfield positions
in the game, caused a Retriever turnover to begin the play. Freshman
goalie Brian Phipps picked up the groundball and flipped a perfect
outlet pass to All-America defender Ray Megill, who raced down the
center of the field and bounced a shot past Blevins for his first
career score. But the play almost didn't get to that point. As Megill
approached midfield, senior All-America candidate Ryan Clarke realized
Megill would have been offsides and hustled back beyond the midfielder
stripe, keeping Megill onside and letting the play continue for the
goal.
The
run concluded with Maryland's first extra-man opportunity of the day.
UMBC's Dan Caramack was called for pushing at 6:24 and it only took the
Terps 12 seconds to capitalize. Junior All-America candidate Max Ritz
scored his first of two goals on the afternoon off an assist from
sophomore midfielder Dan Groot to push the Maryland lead to 6-2.
UMBC
cut the lead to three on Hopmann's second goal of the game, but
Maryland responded with senior midfielder Chris Feifs taking a pass
from Ritz and cashing in on another extra-man opportunity for a 7-3
Terp lead at the half.
After the break, Maryland went on another 4-0 run in the third quarter to put the game out of reach.
Feifs
tied his career high with his second goal of the game off at the 11:09
mark. He drilled an open shot from the left alley off a perfect skip
pass from the right side of the field from Groot.
UMBC looked to
have a sure-fire goal at the 7:25 mark of the third quarter when a
Maryland turnover gave Kimener a one-on-one with Brian Phipps. Kimener
put a double-move on Phipps, faking a quick, low shot before shooting
high. But Phipps stayed with the play the whole way and made a
spectacular save, preserving the 8-3 lead.
Maryland picked up
its first penalty of the game during the ensuing fight for the
groundball, giving the Retrievers a man-up advantage. But the advantage
proved to be the Terps' when Phipps made another tough save and
starting the Maryland transition attack with another perfect outlet to
Megill.
Megill pushed the ball into the UMBC zone and this time
the Retrievers collapsed to the ball to cut off his path to the goal.
But he was able to slip a pass past the oncoming defenders to a wide
open Ritz in front of the UMBC goal, where he beat Blevins for a
man-down goal and a 9-3 lead.
Michael Phipps finished the
scoring for the Terps with a pair of goals as the quarter wound down.
He scored an unassisted goal of the season at the 2:26 mark when he
beat his defender around the back side of the Retriever goal and beat
Blevins low on the short-side.
Phipps
scored again to the lower left off the first-career assist of freshman
Casey Creaney with just two seconds remaining in the quarter to give
Maryland a commanding 11-3 lead.
The Retrievers refused to pack it in and scored four unanswered goals in the final quarter to make the final score 11-7.
Maryland's
defense was solid once again, led by its close defense of All-American
Steve Whittenberg, Megill and All-America candidate Joe Cinosky. That
trio held UMBC's trio of attackmen, Westervelt, Andy Gallagher and
Cayle Ratcliffe, to just two goals in the game. They had been averaging
more than six goals per game in the Retrievers' first five games this
season.
The Terps' freshmen defenders also had an impressive
afternoon. Brian Phipps finished the game with 13 saves, his
fourth-straight game with at least 13 stops, and four groundballs. Bryn
Holmes played his usual physical game and ended up with three cause
turnovers and a pair of groundballs. Brian Farrell did not get into the
scoring column, but did draw plenty of attention when he drifted into
the offensive zone, but did pick up three groundballs.
