Head CoaCh dave cottle
eighth season at Maryland • Salisbury '78
Since arriving to the
College Park campus in the
fall of 2001, Dave Cottle has
continued the storied tradition
of excellence of the Maryland
men’s lacrosse program
and helped usher the Terps
into a new era of national
prominence.
Under Cottle’s leadership
the Terrapins have made sixstraight trips to the NCAA tournament, earned a top-three seed
four times and advanced to the Final Four in 2003, 2005 and
2006. Since 2003, Maryland is one of only four programs to
make three final four appearances.
Cottle is also deeply involved in the national leadership
for the sport of lacrosse. He is currently serving a term on
the NCAA Division I men’s lacrosse committee and is the
vice-president of the Intercollegiate Men's Lacrosse Coaches
Association.
Prior to arriving in College Park, Cottle spent 19 seasons
as the head coach at Loyola College. There he led the
Greyhounds to 14 straight NCAA tournament appearances,
including a pair of berths in the national semifinals.
Cottle, now in his 27th season as a head coach, is tied
for first all-time in NCAA history with 20 NCAA tournament
bids. He is currently fifth among active coaches in wins with
258. His overall mark of 258-104 gives him a 71.3 winning
percentage, which ranks sixth among active coaches with at
least 100 wins.
During his tenure at Maryland, not only has the program
continued to be among the sport’s elite, but Terrapin players
have also thrived and received national attention. In the past
six seasons under Cottle a total of 23 Terps have earned 41
All-America honors. Two Terps, Michael Howley in 2003 and
Lee Zink in 2004, won the Schmeisser Memorial Cup, which
is given annually to the nation's outstanding defender. In 2006,
Joe Walters became Maryland’s all-time leader in goals and
points and was named the winner of the Jack Turnbull Memorial
Award as the nation’s top attackman.
The backbone of Cottle’s success has been a strong work
ethic and an emphasis on “student-athletes.” Six of Cottle’s
Terrapin players earned USILA Scholar All-America honors,
including 2005 graduate Ian Healy, who became just the third
Maryland student-athlete to be inducted into Phi Beta Kappa,
the nations oldest and most prestigious academic society.
Cottle, 53, was named the eighth coach in the storied history
of Maryland lacrosse on Sept. 26, 2001, taking the reins from
the ACC’s all-time winningest coach, Dick Edell, who retired
on Sept. 3, 2001 after 18 years with the Terps.

20 Appearances
Last season proved to be another masterful coaching job by
Cottle. The 2008 Terps featured an all-freshman starting attack
that saw the trio finish 1-2-3 in team scoring. Maryland finished
the season with a 10-6 mark and advanced to the quarterfinals
of the NCAA Tournament before falling in overtime.
The 2007 season, which was viewed by many as a
“rebuilding year” for the Terps proved to be one of Cottle’s finest
seasons as a head coach. With an inexperienced offense and
an injury-riddled defense, Cottle managed to lead Maryland to
a 10-6 record and a No. 7-seed in the NCAA Tournament.
The Terps returned to the NCAA Final Four for the second
straight season in 2006. Cottle's squad finished the year with a
12-5 record and earned Maryland the No. 2 seed in the NCAA
tournament for just the second time in school history. Seven
Terrapin players earned All-America honors with Walters and
midfielder Bill McGlone being first team selections. Walters
was also named the ACC Player of the Year for the second
time in his career.
In 2005 Cottle directed Maryland to its ninth trip to the
NCAA Semifinals and its second straight ACC tournament
championship. The Terps ended the season with an overall
record of 11-6, but finished the season winning six of their last
seven games. Six Maryland players were named postseason
media and

All-Americans, including McGlone, who was a first team
selection. Cottle’s program also earned another honor in
June of 2005 when Walters was named to the 2006 U.S.
National Team, the only college player to be selected to the
23-man roster.
Cottle guided the 2004 Terps to a 13-3 record and their first
ACC championship since 1998. Maryland finished the season
ranked No. 3 in the USILA poll and made it to the quarterfinals
of the NCAA tournament. Eight Terrapin players earned AllAmerica honors, including three first team honorees.
In 2003 he led Maryland back to the NCAA Semifinals for
the first since 1998. The Terps had a stellar season, including
a No. 3 final ranking. Maryland piled numerous accolades as
they had eight USILA All-Americans including Howley, who was
a first-team honoree. The Terps posted a 12-4 record in 2003
and gave Cottle his third trip to the national semifinals.
He led his Loyola teams to top-10 finishes in each his 14
seasons. The Greyhounds finished with a winning record the
final 18 years of his tenure, dating to 1984. Loyola also played
in 14 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, entering the 1998 and
1999 tournaments as the No. 1 seed.
A Baltimore native, Cottle took over a struggling Greyhound
program in 1983. Since posting a first-year record of 5-9, his
only losing season in 25 years as a college head coach, Cottle’s
Loyola teams reeled off 18 consecutive winning seasons.
The 1998 team’s 13-2 campaign, which ended with a berth
in the NCAA semifinals, saw Loyola reach a No. 1 national
ranking, and earn the school’s first No. 1 seed in the NCAA
Tournament.
In 1988 the Greyhounds began a run of 14 consecutive
NCAA tournament appearances. Loyola advanced to the
national championship game in 1990, and made 10 NCAA
quarterfinal appearances under Cottle.
The 1990 team, a potent mix of seasoned veterans and
talented underclassmen, marched all the way to the NCAA
championship game. In the semifinals the Greyhounds staged
an incredible comeback to beat Yale, 14-13, in overtime.
Syracuse, the two-time defending champs, ended Loyola’s
quest for the national title, but the Greyhounds’ 1990 season
always will be remembered.
11
In 1994 Cottle guided the Greyhounds to one of their best
seasons ever. Loyola finished 11-2, recording wins against
four NCAA tournament teams. The Greyhounds earned the
nation’s No. 1 ranking for only the second time in their history.
Loyola concluded the regular season with a 17-15 victory
over Johns Hopkins, the program’s first victory ever against
the Blue Jays.
Cottle’s 1988 squad finished with a 12-2 record, earning
Loyola’s first NCAA Division I tournament berth. Loyola
defeated Air Force for its first NCAA postseason victory before
losing to Penn in the quarterfinals. The Greyhounds concluded
the season ranked fifth in the nation, and Cottle earned USILA
Coach-of-the-Year honors, becoming the first coach in Loyola
athletic history to receive a national award. Cottle was also
selected to coach the South team in the 1988 North-South
All-Star Game.
The 1989 Greyhounds became the only Loyola lacrosse
team to complete an undefeated regular season. The
Greyhounds beat four nationally ranked teams en route to a
perfect 10-0 mark. Loyola was ranked third in the final poll,
behind eventual national champion Syracuse and Johns
Hopkins.
Cottle came to Loyola in 1982 after leading Severn School to
a 26-9 record and consecutive Maryland Scholastic Association
championships. Prior to his success at Severn, Cottle served
for two years as a graduate assistant coach, assistant varsity
lacrosse coach and physical education instructor at his alma
mater, Salisbury State University.
One of the finest players in Salisbury State history, Cottle
was enshrined into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 1989.
During his career he re-wrote the NCAA record book, while
earning All-America honors three times. He still ranks among
the top three in goals (179), assists (123) and points (302) in
Seagull history. In 1975 Cottle led the nation in scoring and was
just the second player in collegiate lacrosse history to score
more than 100 points in a single season. Following his senior
season in 1977, he served as captain of the South team in the
North-South All-Star Game.
Cottle received his Bachelor of Science degree in physical
education in 1978 from Salisbury.

dave slafkosky
defensive coordinator • 26th season at Maryland
Johns Hopkins '74
Defensive coordinator
Dave Slafkosky continues his
association with the Maryland
lacrosse program as he enters
his 26th season with the Terps
this spring. This season will be
the eighth straight Slafkosky
has worked with Dave Cottle
after the previous 18 with his
best friend, coach Dick Edell,
who retired in September
2001.
Slafkosky and Edell celebrated their 25th year together in
2001 in leading the Terps to a No. 1 ranking at midseason.
The duo was also featured on the cover of Inside Lacrosse
magazine. Edell and Slafkosky’s relationship began when the
two coached together at Army from 1977-1983. When Edell
came to Maryland, his only request was that “Coach Slaf” join
him. Granting Edell’s only request was a critical decision that
ensured unprecedented success for the program. Slafkosky
has continued to serve admirably under Cottle.
When Cottle came aboard as head coach in 2002, Slafkosky
returned to the defensive side of the game as defensive
coordinator after serving as offensive coordinator in 2001.
Last season under the on-field leadership of second team
All-American Joe Cinosky, the Terps played tremendous team
defense and held opponents to less than eight goals per
game. Long-pole Brian Farrell and midfielder Jeff Reynolds,
who began his career as a defensive short-stick, were named
honorable mention All-Americans.
In 2007, injuries forced Slafkosky to play a trio of freshmen
in key roles, including Brian Phipps in goal. Phipps would go on
to be named the ACC's Freshman of the Year after anchoring
a defense that allowed just over eight goals per game. Senior
defenders Ray Megill and Stever Whittenberg
were named second team All-Americans.
The 2005 season saw Slafkosky mold an
entirely new defensive unit into a group that
helped lead Maryland to the 2005 NCAA Final
Four. Whittenberg was named a third team
All-American, while goalie Harry Alford and
Megill were honorable mention selections.
The 2006 season saw that 2005 defense
return nearly intact and the results showed, as
the Terps finished with a 12-5 record, returned
to the NCAA Final Four and finished third in the
NCAA in scoring defense, allowing just 6.47
goals per game. Whittenberg earned second
team All-America honors, while Megill was a
third-team selection. Alford was a honorable
mention honoree for the second straight
season.
The 2004 season marked the second
straight season that the Terp defense produced
the National Defenseman of the Year in
Lee Zink. Maryland’s defense also produced first team AllAmericans Chris Passavia and third team member Paul
Gilllette. Goalie Tim McGinnis and defenseman Dave Wagner
were honorable mention selections.
The 2003 season featured the Terps’ All-American defense
led by National Defenseman of the Year Michael Howley (first
team) along with second teammer Passavia and third team
members Zink and goalie Danny McCormick. The Terps were
among the nation’s leaders in defense all season, allowing just
7.25 goals per game.
In 2003 the Terps returned to the NCAA Semifinals for the
fourth time in nine years and seventh in Slafkosky’s 20 years
at Maryland.
In 2002, the Terps continued to have the nation’s premier
defense as they led the nation in allowing just 6.88 goals per
game for the top defense in the rankings. Slafkosky coached
a pair of All-Americans in close defenders Howley and
Passavia.
As the offensive coordinator in 2001, All-American attacker
Andrew “Buggs" Combs became the second player in Maryland
history to score 50 goals in a season. This will be Slafkosky’s
third stint as defensive coordinator at Maryland. Prior to the
2001 season, he served as defensive coordinator for five
seasons.
Originally, Slafkosky was named defensive coordinator
when he joined the Terps in 1984. After leading Maryland to
the NCAA semifinals in 1987 and 1989, Edell had his old friend
take over the offensive reins in 1991.
Without missing a beat, the Terps would soon experience the
same success on the offensive end with Slafkosky at the wheel.
Maryland would return to the NCAA semifinal in Slafkosky’s first
year with the offense in 1992. Under Slafkosky’s tutelage, Mark
Douglas would become a first-team All-American and establish
the University of Maryland’s single-season goal scoring
mark of 51. In
the same year,
Rob Wurzburger
would become
the all-time career
goal scorer with
137.
Maryland’s
offense would
continue to be
successful under
Slafkosky’s
watch, qualifying
for the NCAA’s
every year and
reaching the
finals in 1995. His most successful season came in 1995,
with fellow assistant Scott Marr’s new insight, as Maryland
shattered the school’s offensive record books. The Terps
scored 235 goals and produced All-Americans in Kip Fulks and
Rob Chomo. After the ‘95 season, Coach Slaf switched back
to the defensive side knowing Maryland was in great shape
with Marr running the offense.
Maryland’s defense has become its trademark with its
intimidating physical play. The Terps reached the finals in 1995,
led by its National Defenseman of the Year, Dan Radebaugh.
Defenseman Dave LaChapelle’s play earned him second team
All-America honors in 1997 and propelled the Terps into the
championship game for the second time in three years.
Slafkosky worked heavily with 1998 ACC Player of the
Year Kevin Healy, who was also a second team All-American.
Slafkosky added another All-American honoree to his resume
as Chris Lamy was honored by the USILA following the 1999
campaign. The 2000 season saw the emergence of a new
star in goal, Pat McGinnis, who was among the
nation’s leaders in save percentage and goals
against average throughout the season. The year
culminated with McGinnis one of two Terps named
All-ACC. Along with McGinnis, senior defender
Casey Connor was honored as well. The solid
close defenseman earned second team USILA AllAmerican honors. It marked the fifth straight year a
Terp defender earned All-American accolades – all
under the tutelage of Slafkosky.
A 1974 graduate of Johns Hopkins, Slafkosky
led the Blue Jays to a national championship his
senior year as a midfielder.
Slafkosky and his wife of 28 years, Michelle,
are the parents of four children: Daniel, Sarah,
Kevin and Alex. Slafkosky continues to keep the
memory of his eldest son Daniel close to him. A
U.S. Marine, Daniel passed away in December
2000 at the age of 20.

Ryan Moran
assistant Coach • first season at Maryland
Maryland '03
Former University of
Maryland men’s lacrosse
All-American Ryan Moran
returned to his alma mater
as an assistant coach on
September 22, 2008. He is
responsible for coaching the
Terrapin face-off men and
helping with the offense.
Moran joined the Terps
after serving as an assistant
coach at the Naval Academy
for the past three seasons, including serving as the team’s
offensive coordinator last season. While at Navy, Moran
helped guide the Midshipmen to a pair of Patriot League
championships and three NCAA Tournament appearances.
Under his tutelage, the Navy face-off unit was one of the
nation’s best, winning better than 56 percent of its draws in
each season. In addition to his coaching duties at the Naval
Academy, Moran was also a combat instructor, teaching
Wresting, Boxing, and Martial Arts.
A 2003 graduate of Maryland, Moran served several
roles for the Terrapins during his four-year career. During
his freshman and sophomore seasons, he was a short-stick
defensive midfielder who contributed in the face-off game by
playing on the wing, or taking the draws if needed.
When Coach Cottle arrived in College Park in 2002, Moran
was made a focus of the offense in the midfield. In those two
seasons under Cottle he scored a combined 39 goals, and
added 11 assists, this after not scoring a goal in either of his
first two years. He also won 50 percent (38-76) of the face-offs
he took during his senior campaign.
A first team All-ACC selection and member of the ACC AllTournament Team as a senior, Moran led the Terps to a 12-4
record in 2003 and an appearance in the Final Four. By year’s
end, Moran was one of just two players on Maryland’s roster
responsible for producing either a goal or an assist in every
game except the Terrapins’ NCAA semifinal contest against
Virginia. He finished the season second on the team with 24
goals and tied for third on the squad with 31 points. For his
efforts, Moran was named a USILA third team All-American.
The Baltimore Bayhawks selected Moran in the third
round of the 2003 Major League Lacrosse College Draft,
where he was the 18th overall pick. He saw action in eight
of the Bayhawks’ games as a rookie, and was traded to
the Philadelphia Barrage at the end of the season. While in
Philadelphia, he played in every game, drawing four starts
and helped lead the Barrage to the MLL championship. He
produced five goals and added five assists and owned a .510
face-off winning percentage. Moran was traded to the Long
Island Lizards in 2005 where he scored 10 goals and added
six helpers. Additionally, he won .510 of his face-offs in the 14
games in which he played. The Lizards went on to play in the
championship game, but were tripped up by the Bayhawks.
Prior to joining the Navy coaching staff, Moran coached at
the Naval Academy Prep School in Rhode Island in 2005. He
led NAPS to a 10-1 record that featured wins over Army’s JV
team, as well as Army’s prep school.
Coaching has been in the Moran family bloodline for
years. Ryan’s father, Jack, has been a successful lacrosse
and football coach for the past two decades at Chaminade
High School on Long Island. Ryan’s great uncle, Richie, was
a standout lacrosse player at Maryland (1958-60) before
becoming one of the most successful lacrosse coaches in the
country. He led Cornell to three national titles and is a member
of the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame.
A native of Massapequa, N.Y., Moran is a 1999 graduate
of Chaminade High School. A standout lacrosse and football
player, Moran earned All-America and all-league lacrosse
honors his senior year and played in the North-South Game
upon graduation. Additionally, he was an all-league safety on
the football team his junior and senior campaigns.
Moran and his wife, the former Danielle Shearer, who was
a two-time All-American lacrosse player at Notre Dame, were
married on August 1, 2008. The couple resides in Annapolis,
Md.

of Maryland men’s lacrosse
program as a volunteer
coach on Sept. 18, 2008.
Stainbrook is responsible
for assisting with the Terrapin
defense and man-down
unit.
Stainbrook spent six
seasons with Maryland men’s lacrosse program from 19972002. During that time the Terps made four NCAA Tournament
appearances, including two trips to the NCAA Championship
game.
In 2002, Stainbrook’s final season with the Terps, the
Maryland defense led the nation in scoring defense, allowing
an NCAA-best 7.0 goals per game. Goalie Danny McCormick
also thrived playing behind Stainbrook’s defense, leading the
nation with a 6.73 goals-against average.
In 2001, the Maryland defense had another stellar season
as one of the nation’s top units. The Terps ranked second in
the nation in goals against average, giving up just 6.31 goals
per game. First team All-America goalie Pat McGinnis and
second team All-America defenseman Michael Howley had
rock-solid seasons in helping Maryland to its near-record
performance.
Maryland’s man-down defense was also one of the nation’s
best under Stainbrook, killing off 81.9 percent of the penalties
without allowing a goal in 2001. The unit ranked third in the
nation by holding opponents scoreless in 77 of 94 chances
with an extra man.
During his previous stint at Maryland, Stainbrook coached
several USILA All-Americans on close defense including: Dave
LaChapelle, Chris Lamy, Casey Connor, Michael Howley, Chris
Passavia and Lee Zink.
Stainbrook joined the Terrapin staff in 1997 after serving
as defensive coach at Division III power Nazareth College.
Stainbrook helped lead the Golden Flyers to a 36-6 record over
three seasons, including three consecutive NCAA semifinal
appearances and the National Championship in 1995.
In his playing days, Stainbrook was a defenseman for
Herkimer County Community College and Cortland State
University. Stainbrook served as a team captain for both
squads. Stainbrook graduated from Nazareth with a Bachelor’s
degree in political science and a Master’s degree in education.
He also graduated in 1999 from the Maryland School of Public
Affairs with a Master’s of Public Management in international
security and economic policy.
Stainbrook works as a consultant for the United States
Government, is single, and lives in Gaithersburg, MD.
