From the ACC:
Maryland junior attackman Grant Catalino and Virginia junior
midfielder Rhamel Bratton were named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's
Lacrosse Co-Players of the Week for the period ending on Sunday, March 7.
Catalino had a career-best five goals, including the
game-winner, one assist, and four groundballs in the seventh-ranked Terrapins'
11-10 overtime victory over No. 9 Duke at the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic
at M&T Bank Stadium. The Webster, N.Y., native tallied his first career overtime
goal at the 1:50 mark in the extra period, while Maryland possessed the ball
for only eight seconds of the overtime period. Catalino had two goals in
the first quarter, one in the second and third and his final goal of the day in
overtime. With his second goal of the game, Catalino reached the 100-point mark
for his career and now has 104 points on 62 goals and 42 assists. Catalino was
also a key component in Maryland's defensive presence with his four groundballs
and a caused turnover.
Maryland is now 56-17 all-time against Duke. The 56 wins are
the most for the Terrapins against any one opponent, and the overtime win
marked Maryland's first since defeating Navy 8-7 in two OTs in 2007.
Bratton tallied a career-high four goals in No. 2 Virginia's
11-10 victory in front of 7,501 fans at Klöckner Stadium over top-ranked
Syracuse. The Huntington Station, N.Y, native's goal at 5:46 in the second
quarter helped erase an early 5-2 Orange lead and gave UVa the lead for good,
6-5. Bratton scored three of his goals unassisted on All-American goalie
John Galloway and added two groundballs for the winning effort.
The last four meetings between Syracuse and Virginia in the
series each have been determined by one goal, with UVa holding the 3-1
advantage during the span. The victory is also UVa's second consecutive over
Syracuse when the Orange are ranked No. 1 in the nation and the Cavaliers are
No. 2.
