No. 5 Maryland (6-2)
Coming up: At Michigan, Saturday, 1 p.m.
Comment: The Terps have won both meetings with their Big Ten foe. Sophomore midfielder Connor Kelly set a career high in points with six in Saturday's 11-8 win over No. 17 North Carolina and tied career bests in goals (three against the Tar Heels on May 17) and assists (three against Villanova on March 14).
No. 8 Towson (8-1)
Coming up: Vs. Drexel, Saturday, noon, Johnny Unitas Stadium
Comment: The Tigers have a 39-10 record against the Dragons. Short-stick defensive midfielder Zach Goodrich's 24 ground balls are the most by a true freshman since long-stick midfielder Pat Conroy scooped up 32 in 2013.
No. 9 Johns Hopkins (5-3)
Coming up: At Rutgers, Saturday, 7?p.m.
Comment: The Blue Jays have won 31 of 35, including the past eight, against the Scarlet Knights. Junior Nick Fields' eight ground balls in Wednesday's 19-7 rout at UMBC were the most by a defenseman since April 27, 2013, when Tucker Durkin had eight in an 8-4 loss against Loyola Maryland.
No. 13 Navy (6-2)
Coming up: Vs. Holy Cross, Saturday, noon, Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium
Comment: The Midshipmen have an 11-1 record against the Crusaders and have not lost in Annapolis. Sophomore short-stick defensive midfielder John Trainor's one-goal, two-assist showing in Saturday's 12-7 win at Lehigh was the largest output from a defensive player since March 17, 2012.
No. 16 Loyola Maryland (6-3)
Coming up: At Colgate, Sunday, noon
Comment: The Greyhounds are 2-1 in this series, but the Raiders won, 11-4, in Baltimore on March 28, 2015. The combined four points from junior long-stick midfielder Ryan Fournier (two goals), sophomore defenseman Foster Huggins (one assist) and fifth-year senior Mike Kutzer (one assist) in Saturday's 14-3 thumping of Bucknell are the most by the defense since April 4, when that unit accounted for five points in a 17-7 rout of Navy.
Mount St. Mary's (4-3)
Coming up: At Sacred Heart, Saturday, 7 p.m.
Comment: The Mountaineers are 7-2 against the Pioneers and ended a two-game losing streak to their Northeast Conference rivals with a 10-2 victory March 28, 2015. Fifth-year senior faceoff specialist Mike Celmer's seven ground balls in Saturday's 11-9 loss to Robert Morris are a season high for the team and the most since April 25.
UMBC (1-6)
Coming up: At Lafayette, Saturday, 1?p.m.
Comment: The Retrievers have defeated the Leopards twice, including last year's 18-7 victory March 27. Junior Ruston Souder's 16 saves in Wednesday's 19-7 loss to No. 9 Johns Hopkins are not a career high; the Chesapeake-AA graduate had 17 in an 18-7 win over Lafayette on March 27, 2015.
