Reynolds' sudden strikes
fuel Maryland past Duke
By Kevin Dunleavy
Examiner Staff Writer
BALTIMORE - It took defensive-
minded Duke more than a quarter
to dig out of a hole against Mary-
land Saturday. It took Terrapins
midfielder Jeff Reynolds 12 seconds
to push the Blue Devils back in.
Winning consecutive faceoffs to
fuel fast-break goals in the second
period and adding a solo goal off a
faceoff in the third period, Reynolds
propelled Maryland to an 11-8 vic-
tory in the Konica Minolta Face-Off
Classic before 17,119 at chilly M&T
Bank Stadium.
On a day when No. 12 Duke (2-2)
took more shots (41-34), won more
ground balls (39-25), forced more
turnovers (18-12), and even won
more faceoffs (14-9), the difference
was the sudden, explosive work of
Reynolds at the faceoff X.
"I guess statistics do lie," said
Duke coach John Danowski. "That's
why it's a great game. It's about mak-
ing plays."
After Duke tied it, 3-3, late in the
second period, the redshirt junior
poked a faceoff forward, scooped
the ball off the turf, and passed to
sophomore Grant Catalino (2 goals,
4 assists), who fed sophomore Ryan
Young (3 goals, 2 assists) for a goal
that took seven seconds.
On the ensuing faceoff, Reyn-
olds again picked it up, sprinted
downfield, passing to Catalino for a
sidewinder. That goal required five
seconds.
"They come up to the faceoff, go
right down and score right away.
They come back, the exact same
thing again," said attack Ned Crotty
(2 goals, 3 assists). "I'm not going
to say it took the wind out of our
sails, but you don't want that to
happen."
In the third period, after Steve
Schoeffel scored to cut the deficit to
7-4, Reynolds struck again, this time
winning the faceoff, taking the ball
down the right side, faking a pass to
the point, and firing a shot into the
cage from 12 yards out.
"Those two goals off the faceoff
were huge," said Catalino. "A faceoff
goal just jump-starts our offense,
gets the momentum back on our
side."
Reynolds has had a variety of
roles at Maryland, starting as a
defensive midfielder, sitting out
most of the 2007 season with a torn
ACL, then becoming an offensive
midfielder last season.
"You never know how many
you're going to take in a game," said
Reynolds. "I felt the rhythm. I was
hearing the whistle real well."
Also excelling Saturday for No.
7 Maryland (3-1) were junior goalie
Brian Phipps (13 saves), and Notre
Dame-transfer Will Yeatman (2
goals). Both struggled in last week's
13-10 loss to Georgetown. Phipps
had been victimized the previous
two seasons in losses by seven and
eight goals to Duke.
"We shot into his stick a few
times," said Max Quinzani (3 goals).
"We made him hot."
Maryland also got strong defen-
sive work from Brett Schmidt, who
rose in the absence of injured long-
stick midfielder Brian Farrell.
A Face-Off Classic indeed

FACE-OFF CLASSIC � NO. 9 PRINCETON 14, NO. 6 JOHNS HOPKINS 8
FACE-OFF CLASSIC � NO. 7 MARYLAND 11, NO. 12 DUKE 8
By Melissa Rubin
Special to The Examiner
BALTIMORE � Ninth-ranked Princeton
took an early lead in the first game
of the Konica Minolta Face-Off Clas-
sic to beat No. 6 Johns Hopkins 14-8
Saturday.
Hopkins started well picking up
the initial faceoff. Princeton sopho-
more Jack McBride and senior Mark
Kovler took charge early though and
put away a goal each. Hopkins mid-
die Michael Kimmel answered back
to end the first quarter 6-1 Tigers.
Hopkins freshman goalie Michael
Gvozden had 16 saves off of Prince-
ton's 80 shots first three quarters. He
calmeddownasthegameprogressed,
allowing him to focus more on the
play of the ball and not see red.
"We just didn't know our job we
had planned over the week and it
showed today," Gvozden said.
The game leaned in the Tigers'
favor as McBride continued to score,

with Hopkins' Mark Bryan colliding

Half time came with a score of 9-
3. The second half had Kimmel and
McBride make shots for Hopkins,
both coming from behind the net to
score in the top corner and Gvozden
made a nice save off of Princeton's
attacks with about eight minutes left
in the quarter.
Hopkins' play became more
aggressive in the second half with an
unnecessary roughness call against
defender Matt Drenan and then Sam
DeVore shoved McBride with a min-
ute left in the game and resulted in
Hopkins ending the game two men
down.
"Princeton did a wonderful job of
competing hard and did what they
were coached to do," said Hopkins
head coach Dave Pietramala. "We
spent too much time whining about
calls, too much time worrying about
a goal we gave up, instead of spending
enough time worrying about doing
our jobs."

Series � Maryland leads, 25-5
Maryland has beaten Towson
(1-1) seven straight. The Tigers,
however, have won both times
the teams have met in the NCAA
Tournament. Towson defeated Air
Force Saturday despite losing the
battle of shots, 42-35, and ground
balls, 42-26. Top threats are senior
A Bill McCutcheon (6 goals, 4
assists) and Broack Armor (4
goals). Senior M Mitchell Rosens-
weig is a solid face-off man (51.2
percent) and first-year starting G
Rob Wheeler (63.6 percent) has
been a pleasant surprise.

MLB SPRING TRAINING
Ogilvy, Casey to meet
in Match Play final
By DOUG FERGUSON
AP Golf Writer
MARANA, ARIZ. � Geoff Ogilvy and
Paul Casey drove up to Dove Moun-
tain two weeks ago to play a practice
round on the new golf course for the
Accenture Match Play Champion-
ship.
When they play again Sunday, the
stakes will be significantly higher.
Ogilvy made five birdies on
the back nine to outlast teenage
sensation Rory McIlroy in the quar-
terfinals, then played his final four
holes in 5-under par against Stewart
Cink for a 4-and-2 victory to reach
the championship match for the
third time in four years.
His opponent will be Casey, who
has turned in the most dominating
performance in the 11-year history
of this tournament.
In an All-England semifinal,
Casey defeated Ross Fisher, 2 and
1, and will have a chance to become
the first Match Play champion to
never trail in any match the entire
week. Even more astounding is that
Casey has led 81 of the 82 holes he
has played.
Carpenter impresses in
Cardinals' win over Nats
JUPITER, FLA. � Chris Carpenter's
first spring outing was a breeze.
Carpenter needed only 19 pitches
to throw two hitless innings in the
St. Louis Cardinals' 9-2 victory over
the Washington
Nationals on Sat-
urday.
It was Car-
penter's first
appearance in a
game since Sep-
tember. He was
sidelined by inju-
ries for most of the
past two seasons.
"I've been in a lot of spring train-
ings, and spring training is a lot
different than the regular season,
but like I've said all along I've felt
strong and I've felt good, and my
stuff's there," Carpenter said. "Now
I have just got to be able to continue
to progress my arm
strength and pitch
count, and get
ready to go."
Daniel Cabrera
had a more difficult
time in his Nation-
als debut, allowing
two runs and four
hits in two innings.
Carpenter won
the NL Cy Young Award in 2005,
when he went 21-5 with a 2.83 ERA.
He won 15 games for the Cardinals
during their 2006 World Series title
run but has started only four games
since. -- AP
