Gilman

The Hereford boys lacrosse team opened eyes with an upset win over then-No. 2 Gilman last week. Loyola certainly took note. The No. 7 Dons had their crack against Hereford on Tuesday and made the most of the opportunity, getting contributions across the board to come away with an 8-4 road win over the No. 5 Bulls. Senior attackman Devin McNamara led the offense with one goals and three assists, while sophomore goalie Acie Newton made timely saves - nine in all - as the Dons improved their record to 5-2. The Bulls (4-2)

Visiting Arundel broke a tie in the fourth quarter and upset No. 13 Mount St. Joseph, 11-7, in lacrosse Wednesday. The Wildcats (2-0) outscored the Gaels (6-1), 5-1, in the final quarter. Brett Malamphy (3 goals) won 15 of 19 faceoffs for Arundel. The Wildcats won 32 ground balls to the Gaels' 18. Cam Cetrone and Tyler Young also had hat tricks for Arundel. No. 8 Hereford 7, No. 2 Gilman 6: Jack Adams had two goals and two assists as the host Bulls (1-1) upset the Greyhounds (3-1)

Friday's editions included a Q&A with North Carolina senior attackman Marcus Holman, a Baltimore native and Gilman graduate. Due to space constraints, here are some more answers that didn't make the cut: Who is the best teammate you've played with? I would have to say that [senior midfielder] Davey Emala is a great teammate. He's a guy that just likes to take care of business. He comes to work every day. I would also have to say that [sophomore attackman] Joey Sankey - in the two years that I've played with him - is another guy that you can always count on to make the right play and you can always count on him going 100 percent.

Each week, The Baltimore Sun publishes a Q&A with a college lacrosse player or coach to get you more acquainted with the player and his/her team. Today's guest is North Carolina senior attackman Marcus Holman , who leads the team in goals (18) and assists (14), and is an early candidate to be named a Tewaaraton Award finalist. Holman, a Baltimore native and Gilman graduate who recorded 39 goals and 35 assists last season, will lead the No. 10 Tar Heels (4-3) into Saturday's game with Atlantic Coast Conference rival and top-ranked Maryland (6-0)

Marcus Holman (Gilman) scored his 100th career goal and Joey Sankey had career highs for goals and points in a game as No. 10 North Carolina rolled to a 13-5 win over visiting Dartmouth (2-3) on Monday afternoon. Holman had four goals and an assist for the Tar Heels (4-3), while Sankey had four goals and three assists. Freshman attackman Patrick Kelly (Calvert Hall) scored his first career goal for North Carolina. Next up for the Tar Heels is a matchup at top-ranked Maryland at noon Saturday.

Matt Tilley hasn't had much free time outside of practice this year. In fact, Gilman baseball coach Larry Sheets said the senior has taken just two days off since August -- both between the football and basketball seasons and none between the basketball and baseball seasons. Such is the life of a three-sport athlete. And he hasn't just participated in football, basketball and baseball -- he has excelled in all three. He played wide receiver and free safety for the Gilman football team that won the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference last fall, served as captain for the basketball team that was one win away from winning its second consecutive MIAA B Conference title in the winter and stars all over the field for the No. 10 Greyhounds in baseball.

No. 3 Denver is hoping to have freshman Gordie Koerber (Gilman) back for Saturday's game against No. 8 Notre Dame in the Whitman's Sampler Mile High Classic, but senior faceoff specialist Chase Carraro will remain inactive. In Koerber remains out, coach Bill Tierney is confident in Colin Scott and Eric Adamson as fill-ins. Carraro has an injury, and the medical staff does not want to force his return. The faceoff specialist from Louisville, Ky., was a second-team All-American last year and the Eastern College Athletic Conference Specialist of the Year.

Varsity boys basketball Gilman seeks to join MIAA A Conference Gilman has petitioned for its basketball team, which has been competing in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference, to make the jump to the A Conference. The school has applied to the conference's competition committee, which will consider the petition at a meeting set for March 18. After capturing the B Conference championship in the 2011-12 season, the Greyhounds went 16-15 and advanced to the title game this year.

Senior midfielder Luke Heinsohn scored off an assist from senior midfielder Jack Switala with nine seconds remaining in double overtime to lead the Washington and Lee men's lacrosse team to a 7-6 win over host Salisbury on Wednesday. The loss gives Salisbury (1-2) its first two-game losing streak since the 2009 season and dropped the Sea Gulls under .500 for the first time since 1989.  It was also their first home loss since a 16-12 setback to Stevenson on April 16, 2011.  The six goals were the fewest scored by the Sea Gulls since a 9-6 loss to Tufts in the 2010 national championship game.

Gilman coach Zach Collins said his team "got hammered" when Boys' Latin beat the Greyhounds, 9-4, about two weeks ago. This time, the outcome was much different in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference championship Friday as Gilman posted a 6-2 victory over the Lakers at Piney Orchard Ice Arena in Odenton.  The Greyhounds' intensity made the difference. "It was by far the hardest they have worked all year," Collins said. "They were willing to do all the small things that don't always show up on the score sheet.
