Opening Face-Off Towson will be looking to win consecutive games for the first time this season as the Tigers host Navy at Johnny Unitas® Stadium on Tuesday evening. The game, which is sponsored by Under Armour, will be broadcast on WNST-AM 1570 with Spiro Morekas and Hunter Lochte calling the action.
Updating the Tigers Now 2-2 on the season, the Tigers will be looking to remain perfect at home after topping Mount St. Mary’s 10-8 in their home opener March 3. Sophomore Thomas DeNapoli tallied a team-high three goals to lead Towson past The Mount. The midfielder is now second on the squad with seven goals. Senior attackman Sean Maguire tallied his third multi-goal game of the season in the win and now leads Towson with eight goals and 10 points.
Scouting the Midshipmen Navy snapped its three-game losing streak Saturday by topping Lafayette, 12-7, on the road. After Senior Matt Lamon had a three-point day against Mount opening the year with a win at VMI, the MidshipSt. Mary’s on March 3 with a pair of goals and an assists to men dropped contests against Jacksonville, No. 4 lead the Tigers to victory. North Carolina and Bucknell. Navy’s only common opponent thus far with Towson is Jacksonville. The Midshipmen lost by a 13-7 score while the Tigers upended the Dolphins 12-10 in their season opener. Both games were played in Jacksonville. Navy is led by standout sophomore Tucker Hull, who has a remarkable 27 points on 15 goals and 12 assists. Classmate Sam Jones is second on the squad with 16 points on nine goals and seven assists.
Last Year’s Towson-Navy Meeting After four lead changes and five ties Navy executed a late 6-0 run to rally from a three-goal third quarter deficit and hand Towson a 14-11 loss in Navy-Marine Corps Stadium. The 10th meeting between the two schools on the lacrosse field more resembled a ping-pong game with back-and-forth lead changes and momentum swings. But Navy mounted the final charge that erased an 11-8 Tigers’ lead with 3:04 left in the third quarter that lifted the Midshipmen to victory. Matt Hughes led the Tigers with three goals in the loss.
Towson-Navy Series History The Tigers and Midshipmen will be meeting for the 11th time on the lacrosse field tonight. Navy owns a 6-4 advantage in the series, but Towson has won two of the last three meetings. Scoring Leaders Points Sean Maguire Goals Sean Maguire Assists Justin Mabus EMG T. DeNapoli/S.

Three’s Company
Thomas DeNapoli • CAA All-Rookie Team
Sophomore midfielder Thomas DeNapoli posted his second career “hat trick” in the Tigers’ win over Mount St. Mary’s. He also had three goals in the Tigers’ season-opening win at Jacksonville on Feb. 11. DeNapoli, who had scored just four goals in his entire freshman year, already has seven goals in four games this year, which ranks second on the team. He also has two assists.
John Fennessy • CAA All-Rookie Team
Start Me Up
Andrew Hodgson • CAA All-Rookie Team
Senior goalkeeper Travis Love made his first start of the season in the 10-8 win over Mount St. Mary’s, making seven saves in the first half as Towson led by 5-4 at the intermission. Love, who has played in the last two games, now has a .571 save percentage and a 9.00 goals against average.

Marc Ingerman • Second Team All-CAA • USILA North-South Senior All-Star Game • Preseason All-CAA Team • Face-Off Yearbook Preseason Honorable Mention All-American
With juniors Matt Thomas and Warren Kalkstein having difficulty winning face-offs against Mount St. Mary’s, Towson Coach Shawn Nadelen turned to junior midfielder Ian Mills, who made his season debut against the Mountaineers. And he certainly made it count. The Centreville, Va. native provided a major spark by winning 7 of 11 face-offs with a team-high four ground balls. He matched his career high with the seven face-off wins after posting seven face-off victories against No. 5 Stony Brook last year at Unitas Stadium. Mills also set a career high with his four ground balls against The Mount on Saturday.

Lucky Seven With two goals in the Tigers’ win over Mount St. Mary’s on Saturday, senior attackman Sean Maguire extended his point-scoring streak to seven straight games while posting his third multi-goal game of the season. During the seven-game point streak, the Lutherville, Md. native has tallied 10 goals with 6 assists.

Lamon’s Two Step After being held without a point in each of his first three games this season, senior attackman Matt Lamon made sure he didn’t disappoint the Unitas Stadium faithful March 3, scoring two goals with an assist. It marked the seventh two-goal game of his college career while also being the 12th multi-point game of his career.
Causing Havoc Senior defenseman John Kenyon matched his career high by posting three caused turnovers in the Tigers’ win over Mount St. Mary’s and now has a team-high seven caused turnovers in four games. With his three caused turnovers on Saturday, Kenyon moved past Ryan O’Donnell into ninth place on the Tigers’ all-time list and has posted 29 career caused turnovers. When he records his next caused turnover, Kenyon will be the ninth player in school history with at least 30 caused turnovers.
Close Calls Of the Tigers’ 13 games last season, 10 of them were decided by four goals or less. In addition, the Tigers played in six one-goal games and lost five of those six contests. Since the start of the 2010 season, the Tigers have played in 24 games that have been decided by four goals or less, including 11 one-goal games.

Opening Face-Off Towson will be looking to win consecutive games for the first time this season as the Tigers host Navy at Johnny Unitas® Stadium on Tuesday evening. The game, which is sponsored by Under Armour, will be broadcast on WNST-AM 1570 with Spiro Morekas and Hunter Lochte calling the action.
Updating the Tigers Now 2-2 on the season, the Tigers will be looking to remain perfect at home after topping Mount St. Mary’s 10-8 in their home opener March 3. Sophomore Thomas DeNapoli tallied a team-high three goals to lead Towson past The Mount. The midfielder is now second on the squad with seven goals. Senior attackman Sean Maguire tallied his third multi-goal game of the season in the win and now leads Towson with eight goals and 10 points.
Scouting the Midshipmen Navy snapped its three-game losing streak Saturday by topping Lafayette, 12-7, on the road. After Senior Matt Lamon had a three-point day against Mount opening the year with a win at VMI, the MidshipSt. Mary’s on March 3 with a pair of goals and an assists to men dropped contests against Jacksonville, No. 4 lead the Tigers to victory. North Carolina and Bucknell. Navy’s only common opponent thus far with Towson is Jacksonville. The Midshipmen lost by a 13-7 score while the Tigers upended the Dolphins 12-10 in their season opener. Both games were played in Jacksonville. Navy is led by standout sophomore Tucker Hull, who has a remarkable 27 points on 15 goals and 12 assists. Classmate Sam Jones is second on the squad with 16 points on nine goals and seven assists.
Last Year’s Towson-Navy Meeting After four lead changes and five ties Navy executed a late 6-0 run to rally from a three-goal third quarter deficit and hand Towson a 14-11 loss in Navy-Marine Corps Stadium. The 10th meeting between the two schools on the lacrosse field more resembled a ping-pong game with back-and-forth lead changes and momentum swings. But Navy mounted the final charge that erased an 11-8 Tigers’ lead with 3:04 left in the third quarter that lifted the Midshipmen to victory. Matt Hughes led the Tigers with three goals in the loss.
Towson-Navy Series History The Tigers and Midshipmen will be meeting for the 11th time on the lacrosse field tonight.

With juniors Matt Thomas and Warren Kalkstein having difficulty winning face-offs against Mount St. Mary’s, Towson Coach Shawn Nadelen turned to junior midfielder Ian Mills, who made his season debut against the Mountaineers. And he certainly made it count. The Centreville, Va. native provided a major spark by winning 7 of 11 face-offs with a team-high four ground balls. He matched his career high with the seven face-off wins after posting seven face-off victories against No. 5 Stony Brook last year at Unitas Stadium. Mills also set a career high with his four ground balls against The Mount on Saturday.
