The Maryland men captured their eighth-straight Sweet 16 berth by beating No. 7 seed Penn State, 2-1, in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday. Jason Herrick scored the game-winner with 4:05 remaining to lift the Terps against a Nittany Lions squad that was undefeated at home in 2009. Maryland took a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute when Billy Cortes received a cross from Drew Yates , took two dribbles and blasted the ball past the goalie. Penn State tied the game in the 48th minute when Brian Forgue converted Andres Casais ' free kick.

Notebook After Broadneck knocked Severna Park out of the playoffs with a 13-0 victory Saturday, the two rival teams gathered for a prayer in the middle of the field in Cape St. Claire. "That was planned out, and that was something I will never forget," Severna Park quarterback Pat Morrison said. "That was awesome. I really enjoyed it." The postgame prayer was done as a way to ease tensions between the schools. The intensity of the rivalry between the two schools in all sports, both boys and girls, has reached a fever pitch in the past couple of years.

Any questions concerning the welfare of the Northeast pitching situation was answered yesterday at Severna Park.Sophomore Rachel Herrick, temporarily filling in for senior standouts Stacy Smith and Deana Benner, showed there was no cause for alarm, as she threw a three-hitter to lead the No. 2-ranked Eagles to a 6-1 win over the fourth-ranked Falcons in the season opener for both teams.Senior shortstop Amanda Shifflett supplied most of the offense with two triples, two runs scored and an RBI. The Eagles also took advantage of four Severna Park errors.

Northeast was coming off a difficult extra-inning loss to Severna Park and had top-ranked Arundel up next. It was sophomore pitcher Rachel Herrick's task to get things turned around.No problem.After some early run support, Herrick pitched out of a fifth-inning, bases-loaded jam as the No. 2 Eagles came away with a 3-2 win over Arundel in Gambrills.After driving in what turned out to be the game-winning run with a single to center in the third, Herrick saved her best for the mound in the pivotal fifth inning.

Don't expect Lee DiPietro to be unhappy with her fifth-place finish in the Baltimore Marathon. In both 2002 and 2003, the elite marathoner from Ruxton was second to Russia's Elvira Kolpakova. Yesterday, her time of 2 hours, 53 minutes, 4 seconds was nearly 12 1/2 minutes behind winner Ramilia Burangulova, another Russian. DiPietro wasn't even the first American woman, finishing seven seconds behind fourth-place Susan Graham-Gray of Greencastle, Pa. "I was hoping to go under 2:50, but it was really windy, and that's tough for me," said DiPietro, who won $1,000.

A number of county baseball coaches did outstanding jobs this spring. In addition to the coaching efforts by Arundel's Bernie Walter, Broadneck's Jeff Herrick, Severna Park's Jim McCandless, Chesapeake's Jim Simms, Northeast's Larry Williams and North County's Wayne Feuerherd among the public school teams, Steve Miller of Archbishop Spalding shined on the private school scene. A case could be made for any of the seven coaches to be county Coach of the Year. Walter, whose Wildcats entered yesterday's state semifinals seeking to add to their Maryland-record nine state titles, is the only county public school coach to lead his team to the final four this season.

Player of the Year Rachel Herrick Northeast The fact that Herrick entered the 2001 season as ace for the third-ranked Eagles wasn't a shocker. After all, she had assumed that role last season, when she compiled an 11-5 record with a 0.89 ERA. But the senior right-hander fortified her role as the team's best pitcher by finishing this season with a 9-1 mark and a 0.41 ERA. Herrick, who developed a deceiving screwball to accompany her riser and fastball, faced...

Two weeks ago, Broadneck coach Jeff Herrick predicted that the county football league would have more parity than at any other time he could remember. "The county looks to me like it's extremely competitive for the first time in a really long time," said Herrick, who is in his 19th season, after his Bruins came from behind to knock off Old Mill, 31-28. Herrick's assessment is proving accurate. Last weekend's results included two road upsets. Northeast (1-2), 1-9 last season, got its first win of the year and handed Southern (2-1)

Junior Tyler Hibbs pitched and batted No. 2 Arundel to a 3-1 win over No. 15 Northeast last night at Joe Cannon Stadium as the Wildcats repeated as Anne Arundel County baseball champions. Hibbs threw a four-hitter and drove in all three runs with a sacrifice fly in the first inning and a two-run homer in the third off John Hodges. Hodges (6-3) pitched well in defeat and was the benefactor of several defensive gems by the Eagles (12-7). Hibbs gave up three hits in the first two innings, with Josh Rowe's single in the second scoring the only Northeast run. "I got my touch toward the end of the game," said Hibbs, who retired the last nine batters he faced, striking out the last five.

Playing his first season of football as a senior, Clyde Gross, an All-County second-team basketball player for Broadneck, has "brought a lot of swagger to the team and been one of the most important factors in our success," Bruins football coach Jeff Herrick said. Gross, a 6-foot, 165-pound defensive back and punt returner for the Class 4A state semifinalists, is a member of what Herrick said is "one of the better overall secondaries we've had." What made you take up football in your senior year?

Broadneck's football team is not going to be confused with pass-crazy North County and its run-and-shoot offense, but the Bruins may draw comparisons.Bruins' fourth-year coach Jeff Herrick plans to put the ball in the air this fall more than ever before.Last fall on the way to a surprising 5-5 campaign, the Bruins threw the pigskin 170 times. That apparently wasn't enough for Herrick."We're not going to throw it 400 times like Chuck [Markiewicz, North County head coach], but we are going to throw much more than we did," said Herrick.

Lockers need to be labeled, the calendar needs to be posted, and the nametags need to be laminated for the desks. But Natalie Herrick, who is starting her first year of teaching, is most excited about Monday, when she will meet her pupils. Yesterday was her first full day at Mount Airy Elementary School, where she is one of seven first-grade teachers and the only new one. Her day started with an orientation for all teachers in the cafeteria, but Herrick was concerned about getting her classroom prepared for the pupils, who will be back in less than a week.
