A great afternoon's work by the 12th-ranked Loyola College men's lacrosse team almost was erased during one, final, wild minute yesterday against visiting No. 11 Syracuse. But in the end, after the Greyhounds had nearly blown a four-goal lead they built by controlling the Orange throughout the fourth quarter, Loyola sophomore goalie Alex Peaty saved the day. Peaty stepped up to stop a point-blank shot by Syracuse sophomore attackman Kenny Nims as time expired, and Loyola escaped with a huge, 11-10 victory before 3,582 at Diane Geppi-Aikens Field.

As if anyone needed to be convinced, Duke senior attackman Matt Danowski proved once again Sunday that he is without peer in Division I men's lacrosse. Watching Danowski run circles around upset-minded North Carolina in a 19-11 rout in the NCAA tournament quarterfinals was the treat of the day at Navy. I remember at one point, while Danowski was igniting top-seeded Duke's furious comeback from an early 6-1 deficit, looking out at the crowd and thinking, if I didn't have this job and press pass that comes with it, I'd gladly fork over the dough for the ticket and the parking to watch this guy anytime, anywhere.

For the first 30 minutes of yesterday's season opener, the shooters on the Navy men's lacrosse team peppered Saint Joseph's sophomore goalie Erik Hotaling, but he kept getting in the way. Once the No. 10 Midshipmen started to solve their nemesis, they cruised by their overmatched opponent. Junior attackman Nick Mirabito scored a game-high three goals, all in the second half, and Navy's hustling defense allowed no goals after halftime, as the Mids rolled to a 10-3 rout at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Johns Hopkins junior attackman Dan Denihan has trudged through seasons of unrealistic hype and expectations. And he actually invites the tremendous pressure of drawing one of the opposition's top defensemen.Yet oddly enough, the turning point of Denihan's career occurred when he gave all of this up.The sport that he had played for 13 consecutive springs pushed aside.The school where he had always dreamed of playing a distant and painful memory down the turnpike.After two up-and-down seasons with the Blue Jays, Denihan decided to withdraw from Hopkins last spring, a resolution made after an off-campus altercation which he declined to talk about specifically.

The freshman has been suspended for three games.Hochstadt, a Columbia native and the younger brother of the Terrapins' second-team All-America attackman Scott Hochstadt, was charged with theft by police on Feb. 8 after a university parking employee discovered an all-campus parking permit hanging in a car window.

Records can deceive.Both Mount Hebron (8-5 overall, 8-0 league) and visiting Centennial sported unbeaten league records entering yesterday's next-to-last regular season game.But it was Hebron that fashioned a 17-3 thrashing of Centennial yesterday, earning the Vikings at least a tie for the county title. The result may seem shocking. But it really was to be expected.The Vikings have rolled through the league without allowing a county opponent more than five goals. They have now outscored opponents, 127-23.

Alone at a dead-end street in Timonium, 4-year-old Greg Patchak picked up his two-wheel bike for the first time while his father went inside to take an hourlong phone call.On one try, Patchak lost his balance and scuffed up his elbows. The next attempt, he toppled over again and grazed his knees.Another try another fall. And when his father returned, he cringed at the bloody arms and legs before staring in amazement as his son successfully rode the bike all by himself."I remember he still had a big smile," Patchak's father, Richard, said.
