The NCAA Tournament is now down to the Final Four with Denver, Maryland, Notre Dame and Duke having the chance to play for the 2014 National Championship. Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins, Albany, Drexel and Bryant all were sent home. How did the future MLL prospects do in their respective quarterfinal matchups this past weekend in Delaware and Hofstra? Here is a look at how every senior performed.
Bryant/Maryland:
Colin Dunster, A, Bryant: Dunster had four goals and an assist in his final collegiate game for the Bulldogs. He finished with 51 points this season.
Alex Zomerfeld, M, Bryant: Zomerfeld scored two goals in the loss and finishes his senior year with 41 points.
Niko Amato, G, Maryland: Amato wasn’t asked to do much but he six saves in the victory and allowed eight goals. He will likely be called upon more this weekend against Notre Dame.
Mike Chanenchuk, M, Maryland: Chanenchuk had a career day as he had nine points in the blowout victory. His season point total is now at 57 points and he will have to carry the load offensively this weekend against Notre Dame.
Michael Ehrhardt, D, Maryland: Ehrhardt was a ground ball machine this weekend against Bryant as he seven ground balls and helped stymie Bryant’s offense to just eight goals.
Brian Cooper, D, Maryland: Cooper was also big in the ground ball game as he scooped up five ground balls and had a caused turnover in the victory for the Terps.
Notre Dame/Albany:
Miles Thompson, A, Albany: Thompson scored three goals and handed out an assist in the loss. Miles Thompson’s 82nd goal of the season tied the single season goals record set by Yale’s Jon Reese from 1990. He finishes his senior season with 119 points.
Ty Thompson, A, Albany: Ty had two goals in the victory and finished his senior year with 52 points, 41 of which were goals.
Stephen O’Hara, D, Notre Dame: He had two ground balls and three caused turnovers against Albany and had the tough task of containing Lyle Thompson on defense.
Johns Hopkins/Duke:
Rob Guida, M, Johns Hopkins: Guida had three goals, one caused turnover and one ground ball and finishes the season with 33 points.
Jack Reilly, D, Johns Hopkins: Reilly had a limited effect on the game as he registered no significant statistics in the blowout loss.
Brendon Benn, A, Johns Hopkins: Benn was largely ineffective on Sunday as he scored one goal and finishes his senior year with 45 points, 40 of which were goals.
Phil Castronova, M, Johns Hopkins: Castronova had four ground balls and two caused turnovers in the blowout loss to Duke. He also had a tough time handling Duke’s midfiield of Myles Jones and Deemer Class.
Brendan Fowler, FO/M, Duke: Fowler went 17-of-33 on faceoff draws on Sunday and was key in helping the Blue Devils get possession after scoring a goal. It helped Duke build an impresive lead that Johns Hopkins simply couldn’t overcome.
Jordan Wolf, A, Duke: Wolf added eight points to his season total with five goals and three assists. He now has 92 on the season and will be counted on more heading into the Final Four with Josh Dionne out.
Josh Dionne, A, Duke: Dionne scored four goals on four shots before suffering what could be a serious knee injury. He left the game and was in a big cast for the remainder of the game. If that is his last game, he finishes the year with 55 points.
Henry Lobb, D, Duke: Lobb had one ground ball and one caused turnover in Duke’s big victory over Johns Hopkins over the weekend.
Chirs Hipps, D, Duke: Hipps had three ground balls in the victory in the team’s victory.
Drexel/Denver:
Jeremy Noble, M, Denver: Noble had five points on the afternoon and four ground balls for the Pioneers as they cruised to a blowout victory over the Drexel Dragons on Sunday. He is a do-it-all midfielder and an important piece to this team’s success.
Jamie Faus, G, Denver: Faus played his normal slot in the second half and had eight saves while only allowing three goals for the Pioneers.
Terry Ellis, M, Denver: Terry Ellis had one shot in Sunday’s win but was instrumental to the team’s defensive success as they only allowed six goals.
Ben McIntosh, M, Drexel: McIntosh ended his career with three points in the blowout loss to the Pioneers. He also had four ground balls for the Dragons. McIntosh ends his senior year with 65 points, which is good for the 11th in the nation.
