Frank A. Chrest, a special-education teacher who taught in city public schools for nearly 40 years, died Thursday of pneumonia at Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center. He was 97. Born in Baltimore, the son of a Maryland & Pennsylvania Railroad supervisor and a florist, Mr. Chrest was raised in Hampden. After graduating from Polytechnic Institute in 1930, Mr. Chrest had hoped for a career in engineering but abandoned that pursuit because of the Depression and enrolled at what is now Towson University, where he earned a teaching degree.

Charles Leo "Lee" Chrest, a certified public accountant and founder of a Lutherville accounting firm, died Sunday of a massive heart attack at Greater Baltimore Medical Center. The Towson resident was 80. Mr. Chrest - the son and grandson of accountants - was born in Baltimore and raised in Catonsville. After graduating from Calvert Hall College High School in 1945, he enlisted in the Navy. Mr. Chrest, a communications technician, served at naval bases in the United States and Guam and was discharged in 1948.

Duke goalie Megan Huether vividly remembers the day two years ago when she and Blue Devils teammate Katie Chrest tangled. All through practice, Huether repeatedly repelled Chrest's shots, frustrating her longtime friend and teammate. "She stuffed me for like the eighth time in a row, and I just tackled her," Chrest said. "It was a stick-side low shot," said Huether, with a laugh. "I didn't even have a chance to stand up all the way and she was pushing me. It was a full out tackle." Although Chrest admitted her frustration got the better of her at that moment, Huether said, "It was just her competitiveness."

Fourth-ranked Duke shut down UMBC in the second half on the way to routing the Retrievers, 17-4, yesterday in a women's lacrosse season opener for both teams. The Blue Devils were dominant. They outscored the Retrievers 11-0 over the game's final 24:04 and won 19 of 23 draws. They never trailed after taking a 1-0 lead on sophomore Katie Chrest's goal just over a minute into the game. Chrest, The Sun's 2002 All-Metro Player of the Year from Maryvale, finished with three goals and two assists.

When Duke women's lacrosse coach Kerstin Kimel recruited Katie Chrest, she expected the Maryvale graduate to contribute right away, but not quite this much. Chrest, The Sun's 2002 All-Metro Player of the Year, leads the No. 3 Blue Devils in scoring with 40 points and ranks sixth in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 3.08 points per game. Those numbers make her the front-runner for ACC Rookie of the Year honors, to be awarded at this weekend's ACC tournament in Charlottesville, Va. In her first college game, the freshman attacker led the Blue Devils with three goals and two assists in a 16-2 win over Virginia Tech.

Maryvale girls lacrosse coach Meghan McLaughlin preached patience all through yesterday's game between her No. 4-ranked Lions and No. 7 Notre Dame Prep. The lesson took a while to sink in, but the Lions got the message in time to pull out an 8-7 victory in an Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference Sinclair League game. Stifling a tendency to go for the make-it-or-break-it play, the host Lions (5-0, overall, 2-0 league) used their settled offense to score their last two goals.

Katie Chrest scored two goals in the final 1:15 to lead No. 2 Maryvale to a 10-9 victory over No. 14 St. Paul's in yesterday's Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference girls lacrosse quarterfinal. The host Lions (11-1-1) trailed 9-8 after St. Paul's Annie Wagner scored her fifth goal of the game with 3:42 left. A minute and a half later, the Gators (9-8-3) seemed in control when goalie Nicki Hunt ran down a ground ball behind her cage, but the Gators were offside and the Lions got the ball.

When the NCAA women's lacrosse tournament field is announced a week from today, there's one opponent No. 1 Duke does not want to see in its portion of the bracket - Virginia. The No. 4 Cavaliers were the only team to beat Duke during the regular season and they duplicated that feat yesterday with a 13-8 victory in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament final at M&T Bank Stadium. The smothering Virginia defense gave the Blue Devils problems, especially in the second half when they struggled simply to maintain possession.

Illness and injury have continued to hurt Loyola's women's lacrosse team for a second straight year, but the Greyhounds finally seem to be recovering. After dropping out of the Top 20 and winning only four of their first 10 games, the Greyhounds bounced back Saturday with a 13-12 overtime upset of then-No. 12 Syracuse. The win boosted the Greyhounds (5-6) back into the Top 20, landing at No. 18 this week. Two key seniors are back in the Greyhounds' lineup - defender Kristin McKay and midfielder Talia Shacklock.
