COLLEGE PARK -- The college recruiters had arrived at Fairfield (Conn.) Prep to recruit Garrett Brown, a solid defensive line prospect. But what about the other kid? The scouts couldn't help but notice Masengo Kabongo, a 6-foot-1, 280-pound defensive lineman who speaks four languages, reads "Beowulf" and possesses quickness that belies his bulk. Two years younger than Brown, Kabongo - a redshirt freshman expected to be a key addition to Maryland's defensive line this season - had left the war-ravaged Democratic Republic of Congo with his mother, a physician, when he was 12, settling in Connecticut.

Visitors to the new Fairfield Inn & Suites in Baltimore may not realize that many of the design materials are recycled or that the staff is wearing uniforms made from old plastic bottles. But there are some other more obvious elements making the hotel a bona fide green building. There is the giant rain barrel, once used by the former beer brewery owner to store grain, that collects roof water runoff in the courtyard. There are the mountain bikes available in some rooms and dual-flush toilets.

Coach Charley Toomey did what he could, but there was no way to keep the Loyola men's lacrosse team out of the loop. With some of the Greyhounds aware of No. 13 Massachusetts' upset loss to Georgetown earlier in the day, No. 19 Loyola scored five of the game's first six goals against visiting Fairfield en route to a 12-7 thumping in a key Eastern College Athletic Conference game before an announced 2,104 at Diane Geppi-Aikens Field on Saturday. Attackman Shane Koppens had three goals and two assists, and linemate Collin Finnerty posted his own hat trick and an assist as the Greyhounds improved to 8-4 overall and 5-1 in the ECAC.

Loyola coach Jimmy Patsos didn't give a whole lot of basketball reasons for what happened against Fairfield last night. Rebounding problems, the late-game drought from the field, the game's strange ending - none of that seemed to be on the coach's mind in the minutes after Fairfield hung on for a 63-60 victory in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game at Reitz Arena. Rather, Patsos talked for several minutes about how puzzled he was with the team's flat first-half effort. Loyola (5-11, 1-4)

Loyola College coach Charley Toomey faces what he calls one of the most difficult challenges in coaching. One week after getting his No. 12-ranked Greyhounds ready to play against No. 13 Georgetown, Toomey has to get them mentally prepared to play Fairfield (3-7) on Saturday. Loyola defeated Georgetown, 11-9. "I've never owned a horse, nor ever played a horse," Toomey said. "But I knew last week we were going to come out running like a horse. Our kids played hard." Fairfield's record is deceiving because of close losses to Georgetown, 10-8, and Bucknell, 9-8. Its game with Loyola is at home and being televised.
