Classroom Success 36


When Navy athletic director Chet Gladchuk opened the search

for Navy’s first women’s lacrosse coach, he made it clear from

the onset that he wanted the very best. And when Cindy

Timchal was chosen to take the reigns of the fledgling program,

there was no doubt Gladchuk had accomplished his goal.

Timchal was named the Midshipmen’s first women’s

lacrosse coach on August 5, 2006, and in short order, has laid

the foundation for a Navy program that is moving quickly in its

quest to become a NCAA Division I power. During its inaugu-

ral Division I campaign last spring, all she did was lead Navy on

an historic run which saw the Mids set an NCAA record for wins

by a first-year program with 13 and make their first Patriot

League Tournament appearance.

When all was said and done, Timchal and an underclass-

men-laden Navy squad, wrapped up the season at 13-4, includ-

ing an 11-0 mark on its home turf, and as the owners of the sec-

ond-ranked scoring offense in the nation (16.65 goals per

game). Her on-the-field impact was undeniable, as Navy pro-

duced a league-record 283 goals, scoring at the second-high-

est clip in NCAA history.

While its unprecedented first-season success certainly

turned heads within the lacrosse community, Navy's rise has

come as no surprise to those in Annapolis. In 2007, Timchal

provided a glimpse into the bright future for that lie ahead for

Midshipmen women's lacrosse by leading the Academy's club

squad to an 18-5 mark, including its first win over a DI opponent

and a runner-ip finish at the USL/WDIA National Tournament.

Timchal arrived at Navy as without a doubt, the most-accom-

plished women’s lacrosse coach in the sport’s history, ranking

second all-time (first in Division I) in wins. Her eight national

titles are the fourth most by a coach in a women’s sport in

NCAA history, and the 25th most in all sports, men and women

combined.

Beyond the numbers, though, Timchal has done her part to

revolutionize the sport of women’s lacrosse. In recent years

while at Maryland, Timchal brought some of the most influential

names in the sport through College Park, including former

assistant and lacrosse legend Gary Gait, and more recently for-

mer Terrapin stars Cathy Nelson and Jen Adams. In addition,

former Maryland players have become a fixture on national

teams and within the collegiate coaching ranks, demonstrating

the breadth of Timchal’s influence. In 1996, she introduced a

new wrinkle to her vast coaching repertoire as she brought

aboard the wisdom of California-based spiritual advisor and

renowned author Dr. Jerry Lynch to enrich the minds of her stu-

dent-athletes. That decision complemented the already high

level of physical conditioning it takes to excel at the Division I

level and has since become a widespread trend used through-

out the world of sports.

From Kelly Amonte to Cathy Nelson, Alex Kahoe to Alexis

Venechanos, Jen Adams to Kelly Coppedge, the one constant

amongst all of the great Maryland players has been Cindy

Timchal. In just five years of her 16 seasons at College Park

did Timchal lose more than three games in any one season,

highlighted by spectacular undefeated runs in 1996 (19-0),

1999 (21-0) and 2001 (23-0). She took Terrapin teams to the

NCAA finals in 11 seasons, including an unprecedented stretch

of seven straight national championships - currently the third-

longest championship streak in women’s NCAA history. In addi-

tion, the run puts Timchal in the company of coaching legends

like UCLA’s John Wooden who won seven straight titles with

the UCLA men’s basketball program from 1967-73.

Timchal’s coaching career got its start at Northwestern in

1982. During her nine-year tenure with the Wildcats, she com-

piled a 76-40 record (.655) while leading the program to five

NCAA appearances. While at Northwestern, Timchal made it as

far as the quarterfinals, earning appearances in the NCAA

Tournament in 1983, '84, ’86, ’87, and ’88. In 1991, she made

the move to College Park to revive and renew the strong tradi-

tion of Terrapin lacrosse.

Prior to her arrival at the storied program, its last title had

come in 1986, but almost immediately the Terrapins restored

their reign atop the sport. Timchal’s first year saw a 14-3 mark

and a trip to the NCAA finals. By 1992, the lacrosse world

sensed something special was on the horizon at Maryland.

Despite being at a place with a rich history in lacrosse, few

could have predicted that a dynasty so powerful was on the

horizon. With a 14-1 record, the Terrapins took the 1992 nation-

al title — just the third in school history.

After a heart-breaking one-goal loss to Princeton in the 1993

semis and then a three-goal loss again to the Tigers in the '94

finals, the Terps went on to win a remarkable 50 consecutive

games. In 1995, Timchal led her Terps squad to a 17-0 run end-

ing in a 13-5 defeat of Princeton for the NCAA crown. Maryland

would go undefeated again in 1996, finishing with a 19-0 record

and a 10-5 decision over ACC rival Virginia to take home the

hardware. Wearing the label of back-to-back NCAA champions,

Timchal's squad maintained its dominance, posting a 21-1

record and falling just one goal short of putting together its third

consecutive undefeated season in '97.

The dynasty continued through the '98 season

despite a pair of road ACC losses to begin the year. That

season would end the same way as the previous three,

with Timchal’s Terrapins being crowned the NCAA

champions once again, this time behind an 11-5 win over

Virginia.

In 1999, from top-to-bottom, Timchal's crew personi-

fied excellence, as they produced yet another undefeat-

ed season at 21-0 and the program's fifth-straight nation-

al title. The 2000 season saw the Terps stumble out of

the gate with an overtime loss at North Carolina, but the

“machine” could not be stopped as Maryland went on to

win its final 20 en route to their sixth title in a row. The

2001 season once again saw Maryland run through its

schedule without a blemish as the Terps outlasted

Georgetown in a gut-wrenching double-overtime thriller

in the title game to finish 23-0. The 23 wins still stand as

the most ever by a team in a single season.

Individually, her athletes have earned countless

accolades and awards. Maryland had 21 first team

All-Americans in her last nine years, and 13

players took home national offensive, defen-

sive or goalkeeper of the year awards. Jen

Adams became the first-ever winner of the

Tewaaraton Trophy, which recognizes the

top collegiate men’s and women’s player

in the country, and Kelly Coppedge was

a finalist in 2004 and 2005.

Adams’ third-consecutive

selection as Player of the

Year in 2000 marked the

10th time one of

Timchal’s players

have earned

National Player of

the Year honors,

i n c l u d i n g

Amonte, who

was named the

NCAA’s Most

V a l u a b l e

Player in ‘96.

In 1996,

K e l l y

A m o n t e

became the

Terps’ first four-

time All-American,

including first-team honors in 1995 and 1996. Led by

Amonte’s four, a total of 42 different Terrapins earned

All-America recognition 77 times under Timchal.

Nationally, 18 of her former players have played on the

U.S. Developmental team and five in the most recent

championship U.S. World Cup team. Seven former

Terrapins helped lead Australia to the 2005 World Cup

title in Annapolis, including tournament MVP Sarah

Forbes. All totaled, 13 Terps represented three coun-

tries at the World Cup.

Since her first days in coaching at Northwestern,

Timchal's focus has always been on the experience.

And as impressive as her on-field success has been,

her greatest accomplishments have come off of it.

Throughout her career, her athletes have set the bar

within the classroom as seven athletes have garnered a

total of nine Academic All-America accolades.

Her dedication to her players has inspired a remark-

able number of them to follow her into the coaching

ranks. This spring, more than 20 of her former Maryland

players will patrol the sidelines on coaching staffs

across the country, including Kelly Amonte-Hiller (four-

time reigning NCAA champion Northwestern head

coach), Jen Adams (Loyola head coach), Kerstin Kimel

(Duke head coach), Courtney Conner (UMBC head

coach) and Karen McCrate (head coach of 2001 NCAA

D-II Champion C.W. Post). Timchal's coaching tree also

extends outside the sport and into field

hockey, where former player Jennifer

Averill has won three national titles at

Wake Forest. She also served as a

mentor to current Dartmouth head

coach Amy Patton at Unionville High

School in Pa.

Timchal attended West Chester

(Pa.) University where she lettered in

lacrosse, tennis and track & field.

Following her graduation, she became

an assistant coach at Unionville (Pa.)

High School where she coached

field hockey,

lacrosse and

basketball. In

F e b r u a r y

2004, she was

inducted into the

school’s hall of

fame. In 1979, she

joined the collegiate ranks,

becoming an assistant lacrosse

and field hockey coach at the University of

Pennsylvania.

"Winning championships is really abyproduct of getting the players to

believe in themselves, to put it all on theline and play unselfishly, That's what ismost satisfying: giving the players the

tools they need to go out and compete.When it all comes together, it's magical."

Allison Valentino enters her second season with

the Navy women's lacrosse program in 2009. A

well-seasoned mentor, Valentino brings a wealth of

experience to the Midshipmen sidelines with previ-

ous coaching stints at three different universities,

including ACC powers Duke and Maryland, as well

as a standout player at Loyola College. At Navy,

Valentino serves as the recruiting coordinator and

primary coach for the Navy defense and goalkeepers.

In 2008, she played an instrumental role in guiding one of the youngest teams in the

country to a historic inaugural campaign. A record-setting spring season saw the Mids

produce an NCAA record for wins by a first-year program with a 13-4 mark and earn

their first appearance in the Patriot League postseason tournament. In addition,

Valentino's tutelage was a major reason why Navy paced Division I in draw controls

and boasted the Patriot League's least-scored upon defensive unit.

Prior to arriving in Annapolis, Valentino served as the head coach at Ohio University

for the previous year and a half before the university decided to drop the program, along

with three other sports in January of 2007. While at Ohio, Valentino guided the Bobcats

to a 4-12 mark in 2006 and had two players earn All-Conference honors and another

named as the ALC Goalie of the Year. Valentino was the fifth head coach in the pro-

gram's history and the third since it was returned to varsity status in 1999.

Valentino took over at Ohio after serving as an assistant under Timchal in 2004.

While at Maryland, she served as the primary recruiter while working extensively with

the offense and goalies. Maryland achieved a national ranking of seventh and landed

three players on the IWLCA All-America team in 2004. In addition, three players were

members of the U.S. Development Team and one was a World Cup team alternate.

Prior to College Park, Valentino spent six seasons at Duke, first as an assistant and

then associate head coach where she helped build the Blue Devils program into one of

the nation's elite. They advanced to the NCAA Tournament in each of her six seasons,

including three straight quarterfinal appearances and a trip to the national semifinals in

1999. Twelve Duke players were named IWLCA All-Americans during her tenure, as

well as 19 All-ACC selections. In addition, five of the six recruiting classes were ranked

in the top seven nationally, including the 2004 recruiting class, which ranked No. 1 in

the nation by Inside Lacrosse Magazine. Valentino coached and recruited two-time All-

American and fellow Navy staffer Kristen Waagbo to Duke as part of its 2003 class,

which included four members off the USA Under-19 team and was tabbed second in

the nation by Inside Lacrosse.

Valentino has strived for success in the classroom at each of her previous three

coaching stops, making it only fitting that she‘d land at one of the nation's finest aca-

demic institutions. She has served as an academic advisor to all of her teams. In 2006,

her Ohio team was recognized as a “Merit Squad” for having a team GPA over 3.00,

while two seniors were named to the IWLCA Honor Roll. While at Duke in 2004, the

Blue Devils won the IWLCA Merit Award for leading all NCAA Division I schools with a

3.40 team GPA.

As a student-athlete, Valentino was a two-time IWLCA All-American at Loyola

College and earned All-CAA accolades in 1996 and 1997. While at Loyola, she led the

Greyhounds to three NCAA national semifinal appearances and a spot in the 1997

championship game. In 1994, her squad earned the No. 1 ranking and won a school-

record 16 games. She finished her career with 120 points (71 g, 49 a). In 2008, she was

one of 10 women and men inducted to the 2008 class for the Greater Baltimore Chapter

of the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame.

A native of Fulton, Md., Valentino earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and a

master's degree in clinical psychology from Loyola.

A three-time All-American during her standout

Maryland career under head coach Cindy Timchal,

Kelly Coppedge enters her second year as an

assistant coach at the Naval Academy in 2009.

Coppedge's background as a dynamic offensive

talent has been a key element in Navy's unprece-

dented success as a first-year program. The

Midshipmen concluded their first spring at the

Division I level as the owners of the second-ranked scoring offense in the nation. In

addition to setting a Patriot League record with 283 goals scored, Navy scored at an

unrivaled pace, finishing at the second-highest clip (16.65 goals/gm) in NCAA history.

As a player, Coppedge graduated in 2004 as one of the most decorated student-ath-

letes in storied history of women's lacrosse at Maryland. During her career, she accu-

mulated 300 points (219 g, 81 a) to rank third on Maryland’s all-time scoring list. Her

219 goals rank second behind only all-time great Jen Adams, while her 81 assists

stands seventh all-time. As a senior team captain, she scored 72 goals and 26 assists

for 98 points to rank sixth on the single-season list. During her senior year, she was

named a candidate for the Tewaaraton Award, given to the nation’s top player, and was

also named a first-team All-American by the three major lacrosse outlets, as well as

WomensLacrosse.com’s 2003 Midfielder of the Year.

As a junior, Coppedge registered 95 points (73 g, 22 a), the seventh-most on the

Maryland single-season list, on her way to ACC Player of the Year and NCAA

Midfielder of the Year honors from Brine/IWLCA, as well as All-America kudos for the

second time in her career. Her 73 goals were the third-highest total in a single season.

She finished her career as a two-time Tewaaraton Award finalist, a 2004 Honda Award

Finalist, a three-time All-American and first-team All-ACC midfielder. During her four-

year career, the Coppedge-led Terrapins produced a

67-19 overall mark – good for a .780 winning per-

centage – and twice reached the national semifinals,

highlighted by a 2001 title run

during her freshman sea-

son, which ended in Timchal

earning her eighth national

championship.

An Annapolis native, she graduated

from Maryland in 2004 from the Robert H.

Smith Business School with a degree in mar-

keting. She previously worked as sales rep-

resentative for Harrow Sports in San Diego,

before moving back east and assuming her

current post at the Academy.

While this spring marks her second season

with the Midshipmen program, Coppedge cer-

tainly is no stranger to the Yard. Both her

grandfathers, John (Bo) Coppedge and James

L. Anderson, are Naval Academy graduates

and members of the Class of '47. After retiring

from active duty, Bo went on to serve as the dis-

tinguished athletic director at the Naval Academy

from 1968-88.

Elizabeth Schaffner, a 1998 graduate of Loyola

College, begins her first season as the Navy's

Director of Lacrosse Operations. Schaffner comes

to the Academy after serving 10 seasons as an

assistant at George Mason.

Her responsibilities with the Midshipmen program

include assisting with travel, facilities scheduling,

camps and clinics, other administrative duties

including budget and compliance issues.

After spending a decade with the Patriots' program, Schaffner's influence has been

undeniable, particularly on the defensive end where she once starred during her play-

ing career at Loyola. While at George Mason, the Patriots fielded teams that finished

among the nation's leaders in scoring defense, ground balls and who consistently made

appearances among the NCAA leaders in caused turnovers. Schaffner played an

instrumental role in mentoring a pair of All-Americans in defender Kinsley O'Garrow

and goalkeeper Meg Dentler, a two-time awardee. Schaffner also helped develop a

number of first-team All-CAA defenders, including three student-athletes who went on

to earn conference player-of-the-year accolades.

Complimenting her considerable sideline experience, Schaffner along with current

Stanford head coach Amy Bokker, co-founded the SuperNoVA Select Lacrosse Club in

2003, a formidable club program in Northern Virginia. As the program's co-director,

and now as the president, Schaffner has seen or coached many of the top players from

across the region.

Schaffner's arrival reunites a pair of former Loyola teammates on the Midshipmen

sidelines as both her and Mids' associate head coach Allison Valentino played togeth-

er for three successful seasons with the Greyhounds. As teammates, the duo made a

pair of NCAA Tournament appearances, highlighted by a run to the national champi-

onship game in 1997. The following year Schaffner played in her third national tourna-

ment, helping a Loyola team, which boasted the country's top-ranked defense (5.4

goals against/gm), to a spot in the NCAA quarterfinals.

A native of Annapolis, Schaffner was an All-American lacrosse player at St. Mary's

High School. She received her bachelor's in elementary education from Loyola and

earned her master's degree in higher education from George Mason in May of 2007.

Two-time All-American and former Duke standout

Kristen Waagbo rounds out a highly-acclaimed

Navy coaching staff. Waagbo, a 2007 Duke grad-

uate, enters her second season at the Academy

this spring, where her responsibilities focus prima-

rily on working with the Mids’ offense.

In her first season at Navy, Waagbo played an

important role in developing an underclassmen-

heavy Midshipmen roster into one of the most proficient scoring offenses in the coun-

try. During their inaugural Division I campaign, the Mids scored 16.65 goals per con-

test, the second-highest mark in the history of the sport, and set a Patriot League record

with 283 goals en route to earning a top-four regular season finish and spot in the

league postseason tournament.

A gifted six-foot attacker, Waagbo concluded a decorated playing career at Duke as

the program’s all-time career and single-season assist leader. She amassed 277

points and 161 career goals, totals which rank second all-time to fellow Blue Devils’

great and 2005 Tewaaraton winner Katie Chrest.

Waagbo enjoyed perhaps her finest season as a senior in 2007, setting a Duke

record with 44 assists and totaling a career-best 90 points in just 20 games (4.5

pts/gm). For her efforts, she earned USWLA/USL First-Team All-America honors and

finished as a semifinalist for the Tewaaraton award. During her four-year career, Duke

won 79 percent of its games (64-17), captured four ACC regular season titles and

advanced to three NCAA Final Fours.

An Ellicott City, Md. native, Waagbo made a name for herself in the lacrosse circles

early on, helping to lead her Mount Hebron High School squad to four consecutive state

championships. She also was a member of the U.S. Under-19 squad which won the

2003 World Championships held in Towson. Waagbo was recently inducted into the

Howard County’s Sports Hall of Fame.

Waagbo earned her bachelor’s degree in cultural anthropology with a concentration

in markets and management studies from Duke.

SSEEAASSOONN OOUUTTLLOOOOKKAs they say, you only have one chance to make a

good first impression. After a historic inaugural DivisionI campaign last spring, the Navy women's lacrosse pro-gram has left little room for interpretation.

In 2008, the Midshipmen women laid the foundationfor sustained future success in Annapolis, setting anNCAA record for wins by a first-year program with 13and earning their first Patriot League Tournamentappearance – all while fielding one of the most potentscoring offenses in the history of the sport.

With another year of experience and its secondrecruited class now in the fold, the conventional wisdomsays that Navy's meteoric rise up the collegiate rankswill continue in '09. In spite of the rising expectations,this spring's Midshipmen squad knows it has its workcut out to ensure that the program's early returns arelasting.

“We had a breakout season last spring," said headcoach Cindy Timchal. "To win that many games rightoff the bat, certainly was a great accomplishment. Butit’s a new season and we know we have to be better ifwe are going to take the next step as a programbecause everyone else is pushing the envelope aswell."

For the second straight year, Navy will rely on abevy of talented underclassmen as it once again willfield one of the youngest teams in the country with atotal of 24 freshmen or sophomores and 17 newcom-ers.

With 60 percent of its scoring back from a unitwhich produced at the second highest clip in NCAA his-tory (16.65 g/gm) a year ago, the Mids appear well-positioned to make a run at a Patriot League crown andtheir first NCAA Tournament appearance.

The numbers don’t always tell the whole story,however; having seen enough games to know whatseparates the good teams from the great, the sport'sall-time winningest coach remains cautiously optimistic.

”We will be a far more seasoned team and we havesome terrific young talent, but in the end it’s all aboutconfidence,” said Timchal. “It’s like the old adage: ‘Doyou have what it takes when it matters the most?’When the game is on the line, we want our girls cravingthe ball."

Last spring, the Mids got a first-hand taste of thepressure and intensity of Division I lacrosse. And whilethe team's unprecedented first-year success was widelycelebrated, the team knows there is plenty of room forimprovement.

One of the team's goals is to improve its tough-ness, particularly on the road. While much of Navy'ssuccess was fueld by its undefeated 11-0 mark athome, the Mids' poise was put to the test outsideAnnapolis, where they finished just 2-4.

"We have continued to instill the confidence neces-sary to succeed every time we take the field - no matterwhere we play," said Timchal. "I have no doubt you willsee us display that winning mindset and continue tomake great strides this season."

AATTTTAACCKKThis spring, four of Navy’s top seven offensive play-

ers are back from 2008's record-setting group, led byFirst-Team All-Patriot League selection Erin Rawlick.

Rawlick, one of nine holdovers from Navy’s clubprogram, exploded onto the national scene a year ago,racking up 91 points (67 g, 24 a) and concluding theyear as the nation’s second leading scorer and the topsophomore with 5.35 points per contest.

The 5-foot-8 midfielder was the catalyst for aMidshipmen offense that produced more goals (283)than any team in the 18-year history of Patriot Leaguewomen’s lacrosse. A terrific dodger who will challengeboth up-top and from behind the cage, she scored atleast twice and had three points in each of the team’s17 contests.

“Erin came here without the expectation of playingDivision I lacrosse and now that she has gotten thatopportunity, she certainly has flourished,” said Timchal.“She gets better every time she plays and there is nodoubt in my mind that she has the ability to play withsome of the top players in the country.”

Joining Rawlick upfront is classmate and closefriend Mary Ruttum, one of four Mids to go for 50 ormore points with her 37 goals and 17 assists in 2008. Aformer basketball player with terrific field sense, Ruttumgives Navy a different look as one of only a select fewsouthpaws on its roster. She is terrific scoring off-balland is an integral part of the team’s tremendous suc-cess on the draw.

In 2008, the Mids’ offensive pedigree was rooted intheir success in the center circle, where Navy led thenation in draw controls with 17.12 per game.

“Mary is one of our smartest and most experiencedplayers,” said Timchal. “She has great vision and wewill look to both her and Erin to once again lead us inthe circle and help control the midfield.”

Also returning for the Mids is third-year attackerBrittany Amerau, who scored 14 goals in 14 games asa sophomore. Amerau is adept at finding the seams inopposing defenses and has proven to be one of theteam’s most proficient finishers, converting 70 percentof her shot attempts last season.

While Navy’s second incoming class will undoubt-edly yield several valuable contributors this spring, thecrown jewel amongst the Mids’ 14-member freshmanclass is unquestionably attacker Dani Vivonetto.

Although yet to play a game, Vivonetto, a two-timeAll-American at Rocky Point High School on LongIsland, has already emerged as one of the team’s go-toplayers in the preseason. A three-time captain, sheplayed five years with the varsity program while atRocky Point, leading her team to four league andSuffolk County titles and an overall mark of 68-10.

“Dani is focused, she works incredibly hard, she isrelentless on both ends of the field - she really has itall,” said Timchal. “When she is going hard it is very dif-ficult to stop her. Her willingness to go all-out to the netis something we were really looking for this season andI know we’ve found it in her.”

MMIIDDFFIIEELLDDComing off terrific rookie seasons, sophomores

Katrina Nietsch and Caitlin Mandrin Hill are back andwill be relied upon at both ends of the field for Navy.

As one of the conference’s top rookies, Nietschearned second-team all-league laurels after a 47-pointseason (40 g, 7 a) last spring. She was one of threeMids to score 40 or more goals, produced multiplepoints in 14 contests and was an integral part of Navy'ssuccess in its clearing game.

“When you look at Katrina’s game the first thingthat jumps out is her speed,” said Timchal. “She is oneof the fastest girls in our conference. She excels atpushing the ball into the offensive end and she isalways adding to her game.”

One of six Navy players that stands 5-foot-10 ortaller, Mandrin Hill is an imposing presence in thedefensive midfield. Seeing time primarily out of theback a year ago, she ranked 11th nationally in groundballs per game (3.24) and led the Mids in causedturnovers.

Often tasked with marking the opposition’s topoffensive threats, Mandrin Hill possesses a great motorand the ability to be a factor anywhere on the field.

“Caitlin is a player who just gets better every singleday,” said Timchal. “Although only a sophomore, she isalready someone the team looks to as a leader. Bothher and Katrina are really positioned to do some greatthings in their second year.”

With the addition of freshmen Madison Bell andKierstin King, the Mids have brought in two young play-ers who are expected to develop into steady contribu-tors in their first seasons – much in the same way astheir midfield counterparts did in ’08.

Both Bell, who projects as an offensive middie, andKing, who is more suited in a defensive role, had terrificpreseasons and come in with the opportunity to start.

DDEEFFEENNSSEEWhile its record-setting offense stole the headlines,

Navy’s defense quietly made great strides in 2008. Byyear’s end, the Mids owned the Patriot League’s least-scored upon backline unit and had limited a total ofseven opponents to 10 or fewer goals.

With its corps of defenders remaining intact from ayear ago and the addition of several talented newcom-ers, the Navy backline, formerly an area of concern,now figures to be one of team’s deepest and most-improved units.

“We’re already ahead of where we were last year inthe back,” said Timchal. “We have filled in some criti-cal spots, we are more athletic, we’re faster and wehave a depth of players that we are confident can getthe job done.”

Navy brings a wealth of experience and veteranleadership to the defensive end, as all five Midshipmenseniors, including team captain Lauren Gillam, willreside behind the restraining line.

Gillam saw significant playing time a year ago,earning the starting nod in each of Navy's final ninegames. This fall, she has fully embraced her role asteam captain - a fact that hasn't gone unnoticed by theMids’ coaching staff.

"We are thrilled to have Lauren lead this year'steam," said Timchal. "She is well-respected in the lock-er room, she works hard, she's very approachable andabove-all, her goal is to win. We have terrific teamchemistry and she undoubtedly has played a major partin facilitating that."

Senior Margaret Gardner, another returning defen-sive starter, will also play an important role in steeringtraffic away from the cage. Gardner made 12 starts andplayed in every game last spring.

Although still a relative newcomer to the game, jun-ior Tori Weidmeier, a former high school hockey stand-out and Navy's most aggressive defender, is back withanother year of experience and will see an increased

role after appearing in eight games a year ago.After having her spring season cut short due to

injury, Navy sophomore Baileigh Kimball returns andwill be looked to for some valuable minutes.

Further bolstering the Mid's backline is the influx ofnine talented newcomers, including six freshmen, whowill all vie for time in the defensive rotation.

Both Tennessee native Abby Ellis and classmateLaura Nevin have stood out early in the preseasonamongst the incoming freshmen and project to be con-sistent and steady contributors in the starting 12.

The Mids also stand to benefit from the services ofa pair of senior soccer stalwarts in Kristen Laraway andJenn Dunbar. The battle-tested duo joined the lacrosseprogram this winter following a standout four-year runwith the Mids’ soccer team, which included a pair ofNCAA Tournament trips in 2006 and 2007.

GGOOAALLKKEEEEPPIINNGGNavy will present a new look in the cage this sea-

son where heralded freshman netminder ElainaPonchione assumes the starting role and will see amajority of the playing time for the Mids.

Ponchione comes to the Academy from a strongOur Lady of Good Counsel program where she was athree-time All-WCAC selection and led her team tofour-straight conference titles and its first national rank-ing in Montgomery County lacrosse history in 2007.

After an impressive fall ball season, Coach Timchalis keyed up and confident that her rookie keeper willfind success this spring.

“Elaina possesses tremendous poise for a first-yearplayer,” said Timchal. “She does a great job on close-range shots, she’s not easily rattled and her athleticismwill really help to open up things for us in our clearinggame."

While the last line of defense is not a position ofdepth for Navy with the loss of its senior starting keeperto graduation, behind the talented Ponchione a verycapable back-up has emerged in freshman MorganWilliams.

The 5-foot-10 Williams, who was recruited as adefender, has filled in admirably during the preseasonin a position of need for the Mids and proven herself tobe ready and able to step in when called upon.

SSCCHHEEDDUULLEEThe Mids kick off the second season of Division I

lacrosse at the Naval Academy on February 13 whenthey host fellow second-year program Presbyterian.

A total of 10 home dates at Navy-Marine CorpsMemorial Stadium, including the program’s first nation-ally-televised contest, highlight Navy’s 17-game regularseason slate.

Last spring, there was no doubt that playing at oneof college lacrosse’s premier venues proved to be alarge part in the team’s unprecedented first-year suc-cess. The Mids established a definitive home-fieldedge, outscoring visitors by more than nine goals percontest and finishing the year unbeaten in 11 contests.

Following its opener, Navy will host DI upstart

Detroit Mercy on Feb. 22, before taking to the road forfour of their next five contests. The Mids’ lone homegame during that stretch is the team’s conferenceopener against Lafayette on March 7.

The brief pit stop in Annapolis precedes a three-game, eight-day road stretch that begins at 2008MAAC runner-up Canisius and ends with the team’sfirst Patriot League road test at Holy Cross on March21.

Just seven days later the Mids will host defendingleague champion Colgate on March 28 in a much-antic-ipated matchup that will be televised nationally by CBSCollege Sports Network. A year ago, the Raiders, whohave made three NCAA appearances in the last fiveyears, dealt Navy its first loss of the season with a 19-10 win in Hamilton, N.Y.

The mid-season contest should serve as strong lit-mus test for the Mids as the 2008 league champs onceagain figure to be a top title contender.

On April 1, the Mids open a busy month of actionagainst American. The two teams split their two meet-ings in 2008 with the top-seeded Eagles using a furioussecond-half rally to notch a 17-15 win in the leaguesemifinals.

Navy will look to build upon that experience andonce again be one of the four squads vying for theautomatic bid into the NCAA Tournament in theleague's four-team playoff set for April 24 and 26.

"We are looking forward to what should yet againbe a challenging Patriot League schedule,” saidTimchal. “I was very encouraged with what I saw duringthe fall and now in the preseason. With our secondrecruited class here, we are looking to build on lastyear and make a run for the league title.”

brought up the idea of coming here. I looked into it andthe more I saw, the more I liked it. The honor, thecourage, the commitment. The ideals the NavalAcademy stands for really resonated with me.

In the league semifinals, the Mids camewithin two goals from a chance to play for the confer-ence championship, falling 17-15 to top-seed and tour-nament host American. Navy finished the year owningboth the conference’s top-ranked scoring offense(16.65 g/gm) and scoring defense (10.52 ga/gm).

YYOOUUTTHH MMOOVVEEMMEENNTTNavy’s first season success came while fielding one ofthe youngest teams in the nation. The Mids roster fea-tured a total of 23 freshmen or sophomores.

PPLLAAYYIINNGG IINN AA PPAALLAACCEENavy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium has emerged as the premier college

lacrosse venue in the country and the home to Navy’s men’s and women’s lacrosseprograms. Though the three million-dollar facility opened its doors on Sept. 26,1959, when Navy christened the stadium with a 29-2 win on the gridiron againstWilliam & Mary, the Navy lacrosse program would not play its first contest at thestadium until April 29, 1961. All-American George Tracy and attackman PatrickFitzpatrick scored two goals apiece to lead the Midshipmen to a 9-7 victory overrival Maryland in Navy’s debut at the two-year-old facility.

This spring marks the 48th season in which at least one Navy lacrosse gamehas been played at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. Having played a gamea year at the stadium for 42 consecutive years, the Midshipmen stepped away fromthe hallowed ground in 2003 as the stadium underwent a 40 million-dollar face-lift.When Navy returned to the field in 2004, the Midshipmen called the state-of-the-artmulti-use facility their home for all home lacrosse games, and this past spring thewomen joined their male counterparts in playing its contests there as well.

The support the lacrosse teams at Navy receive is second to none.Traditionally, the men’s team is one of the top-drawing teams in all of collegelacrosse, boasting six of the top-15 largest attended regular-season games of all-time. Now, with another team occupying the playing surface at Navy-Marine CorpsMemorial Stadium, Annapolis truly becomes the center of the lacrosse world.

In 2008, the Navy women were quick to establish a definite home-field advan-tage. In their first Division I contest, the Mids set the tone for the spring with a con-vincing 21-10 win over Longwood. Navy went on to post an 11-0 record at home,outscoring its competitors by a combined 104 goals (9.5 per game). Headed into2009, the Midshipmen’s 11-game home winning streak stands as the nation’s sec-ond-longest active mark.

Academy Athletic Association (NAAA), the 40 million-dollar Navy-MarineCorps Memorial Stadium renovation project began in the summer of 2002and was completed in the fall of 2005. One of the most significant changesto the stadium came with the installation of a new synthetic field surface,FieldTurf, which allows the stadium to be used 365 days a year. The multi-purpose nature of Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium has

allowed it to host a myriad of events, including the 2007 and 2008 NCAAMen’s Lacrosse Quarterfinals, the 2005 NCAA Women's LacrosseChampionship and the 2005 Women's Lacrosse World Cup, as well asnumerous high school and local youth events. In the summer of 2009, theAcademy will begin a three-year stint as the hosts of the Major LeagueLacrosse Championships.New components have included: two state-of-the-art video scoreboards,

chair back seating, ADA seating platforms and access ramps, concessionstands, end zone seating, luxury suites, additional sideline seating created bylowered the playing field to give the stadium a more intimate look and feel. In 2004, a 12,000-square-foot, two-story banquet facility was constructed

to host class reunion dinners and other Naval Academy functions. Locatedon the first floor, the N-Room houses plaques listing the names of USNA var-sity letter winners and can seat 600 for a banquet or formal dinner. The ban-quet rooms are serviced by a full kitchen and bar areas with a fully-integratedaudio and video system that features 10 large screen televisions and the abil-ity to give business presentations on both levels of the banquet facility.A completely renovated press tower was also unveiled prior to the 2004

season. The top level features booths for television play-by-play and coach-es' video, along with tower suites. The fifth level is dedicated to the printmedia, while also housing radio and coaches' booths, along with scoreboard,public address and operations areas. A newly-constructed level, named theFlag Bridge, was erected under the old press area in the seating bowl. It has71 permanent seats in front of additional stools, tables and chairs whichallows for flexibility in hosting game day viewing or special events on non-game days. Located on the second floor of the press tower is the newly-opened

Bilderback-Moore Navy Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Visitors and fans alike havethe opportunity to learn of the Mids’ overwhelming accomplishments over thelast 100 years, as well as the heroics played out both on and off the field.The people and events that have shaped the Navy men’s lacrosse programare remembered in the exhibit. The Bilderback-Moore Navy Lacrosse Hall ofFame is divided into three rooms on the second floor of Navy-Marine CorpsMemorial Stadium — the Hall of Heroes and Champions, made possible by aleadership gift from Ed Gibbons, Class of ‘59; the Hall of Players andCoaches, made possible by a leadership gift from Charlie Guy, Class of ‘46;and the Hall of Championships, the focal point of the exhibit, which includesthe James H.H. Carrington Room, made possible by a leadership gift fromNancy and Steve Crown. While the renovations made possible the necessary upgrades for the foot-

ball and lacrosse programs, the memorial aspects of the original structurewere preserved and enhanced during the renovations. More than 8,000 chairback memorial plates were removed, refurbished and reinstalled on the newseats. Hundreds of memorial plaques received the same treatment and arefeatured on the Memorial Plaque Wall in the North Memorial Plaza. Battlearches and class arches have been constructed to tell the illustrious story ofthe Naval Services. Each combination of battle arches contains a history les-son on the left arch and a description of the particular battle on the right.Each and every battle fought by either the Navy or Marine Corps is depictedthrough the use of color-coded battle streamers allowing visitors to chrono-logically view the story of the brave men and women who we honor for theirservice to our country.

• Navy SEALs• Surface Warfare -- conventional, nuclear powered• Submarines

Summer TrainingSummers remain a busy and challenging time of year for midshipmen.

Their initial tenure at the Naval Academy begins around July 1 prior to thestart of the freshman year at the school with “Plebe Summer.” Instead oftaking academic classes, plebes receive military indoctrination and learnbasic seamanship and sailing.

The summer following plebe year is spent aboard various ships to gainknowledge and experience of the workings of the Navy. Included in thistime is a three-week cruise aboard either a 44-foot Naval Academy sailboator a Yard Patrol craft traveling on the East Coast.

Portions of the summer before the start of a second-class year is spentvisiting bases of both the Navy and the Marine Corps. That leads up to thenext summer when midshipmen join an operational unit of the Navy orMarine Corps for several weeks. In addition, rising firsties also begin toaccept leadership roles at either the Naval Academy for plebe summer, theNaval Academy Prep School (Newport, R.I.) or aboard a yard patrol or sail-ing cruise.

The Yard“The Yard” is another name for the grounds of the Naval Academy.

Originally just 10 acres, The Yard has grown to a size of 338 acres.

AnnapolisThe City of Annapolis has been home to the Naval Academy for all but

four years since the founding of the school in 1845 on the grounds of whatoriginally was the Army’s Fort Severn. The Academy moved its location toNewport, Rhode Island, from 1861-1865 during the Civil War.

Bancroft HallNamed after the former Secretary of the Navy (1845-46) and founder of

the Naval Academy George Bancroft, Bancroft Hall serves as the dormitoryfor the entire Brigade of Midshipmen. Its 33 acres of floor space and nearlyfive miles of hallways makes it one of the largest dorms in the world.

Brigade of MidshipmenThe 4,300-member student body at the Naval Academy is

called the Brigade of Midshipmen. The Brigade is organized into ...

• 2 regiments• 6 battalions• 30 companies

Class RanksFirst-year students at the Naval Academy are referred to as “plebes”

during their initial or “Fourth Class” year in school, while sophomores atNavy, members of the “Third Class,” are called “youngsters.” Juniors at theschool are designated as “Second Class,” with seniors called “Firsties” inreference to their “First Class” year.

Co-EdWomen were first admitted to the Naval Academy during the summer

of 1976. Today, women comprise roughly 15 percent of the student body.

NicknameThe official nickname for all of Navy’s athletic teams is Midshipmen.

“Mids” is an appropriate nickname, while “Middie” is inappropriate.

N-StarMembers of varsity teams who qualify for the varsity letter receive an

N-Star for their letter sweaters if they participate in a victory over Army inany sport-designated Star Game.

The varsity N and corresponding N-Star were initiated during the early1890s.

School ColorsEach class at the Naval Academy produced their own set of class col-

ors until 1892 when Navy Blue and Gold were established as the official col-ors for the entire Naval Academy.

Anchors Aweigh“Anchors Aweigh” was written by Lt. Charles Zimmerman, musical

director of the Naval Academy, in 1906, with the lyrics provided by Alfred H.Miles ‘06 as a fight song for the 1907 graduating class. The song made itsdebut at the 1906 Army-Navy game and when the Mids won, the songbecame traditional at the contest.

Stand Navy down the field,Sails set to the sky,We’ll never change our course,So Army you steer shy.Roll up the score, Navy,Anchors Aweigh,Sail Navy down the field,And sink the Army,sink the Army Grey

Bill the GoatThe first recorded use of a

goat as the mascot for Navyteams was in 1893 when an ani-mal named El Cid (the Chief) was pre-sented to the Brigade by officers of theUSS New York. El Cid helped Navy to a 6-4win over Army that year and a goat became thepermanent mascot of the Academy in 1904.

Blue & GoldNow, colleges from sea to seaMay sing of colors true;But who has better right than weTo hoist a symbol hue?For sailors brave in battle fair,Since fighting days of old,Have proved the sailor’s right to wearThe Navy Blue and Gold

MidshipmanThe original 17th Century meaning of the word “midshipsmen” desig-

nated those men who stood watch “amidships”, or in the middle portion of aship. The middle “s” was later dropped to give the current form of the word.

Midshipmen were originally young boys who were apprenticed to seacaptains to learn the trade.

In the early days of the Navy, midshipmen were trained aboard shipuntil they were commissioned as ensigns.
