Men’s Lacrosse Heads to NCAA Tournament
For the second consecutive year, the UMBC men’s lacrosse team will compete in the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Tournament. The Retrievers received an at-large bid and will play the seventh-seeded Maryland Terrapins in College Park, Md. on Sunday, May 13 at 7:30 p.m. The game will be televised live by ESPNU.
This will be UMBC’s fourth appearance in the field since 1998. The Retrievers earned at-large bids in both 1998 and 1999 and earned an automatic qualifier by winning the America East Conference in 2006. All four appearances by UMBC have come under the direction of Head Coach Don Zimmerman. It will be the 11th time in Coach Zimmerman’s 21 years as a Division I coach that he has taken a team to the tournament.
The Retrievers are 10-5 and had their six-game winning streak snapped in Saturday’s 15-14 loss to Albany in the America East title game in Albany, N.Y.
Maryland (also 10-5) defeated UMBC, 11-7 in College Park on March 17. The two teams have not met in UMBC’s previous three tournament appearances. The Retrievers lost, 11-8 to seventh-seeded Princeton in Princeton, N.J. in the first round of the tournament last season.
There will be a fan bus which heads down to College Park for the game. The bus will depart in front of the RAC at 6:00 p.m. Tickets for the Maryland-UMBC game can be purchased in advance through the Maryland Ticket Office at 1-800-462-TERP (1-800-462-8377) or they can be purchased at Byrd Stadium upon arrival. Tickets prices are $10.00 for adults and $5.00 for students. If you are interested in the bus, please contact Joe Sisler at 410-455-2205 or stop by Room 331 in the Retriever Activities Center.
The winner of the Maryland/UMBC game will meet the winner of the Virginia/Delaware first round game in the quarterfinals on Sunday, May 20, at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Md.
