Each week, The Baltimore Sun publishes a Q&A with a college lacrosse player to get you more acquainted with the player and his/her team. Today's guest is Navy junior attackman Tucker Hull, who ranks second on the team in goals (13) and assists (seven). The Charlotte, N.C., native has 105 points in his career, ranking 24th on the academy's all-time list, and he needs just two more to pass Matt Pawlikowski (1990-93) for 23rd. But the Midshipmen have won just three of 12 contests this season and will miss the Patriot League tournament for the third consecutive year.

Two small thrifts founded many decades ago to cater to Baltimore's immigrant population could merge as early as the end of November following approval Monday by a federal regulator. Kopernik Federal Bank in Fells Point and Hull Federal Savings Bank in Locust Point each have one office, and both will remain open and operate under the Kopernik name after the merger. The marriage of these two institutions — opened a combined 189 years — is just another sign of the difficulties of small financial institutions, banking analysts said.

In the third and final debate, Barack Obama scored huge points with the media, college kids and die-hard liberals -- in other words, his base -- when he mocked Mitt Romney's concern about our historically small Navy. "But I think Governor Romney maybe hasn't spent enough time looking at how our military works," the president said. "You -- you mentioned the Navy, for example, and that we have fewer ships than we did in 1916. Well, Governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets because the nature of our military's changed.

RJ Wickham was Navy's lone representative on the All-Patriot League first team, the conference announced Tuesday. The senior goalkeeper ranked first in the league in saves per game (11.3) and 11th in Division I in save percentage (.570). Wickham was a first-team selection in 2010. Sophomore attackman Tucker Hull and sophomore long-stick midfielder Pat Kiernan were selected to the second team. Hull, the Rookie of the Year last spring, finished with 23 goals and 24 assists and ranked third in the Patriot League in points per game (3.9)

During Saturday's telecast of No. 17 Army's 9-6 victory over Navy, the CBS Sports Network tandem of Dave Ryan and Evan Washburn mentioned sophomore attackman Tucker Hull's inability to use his speed against Black Knights junior defenseman Brendan Buckley due to a hernia injury. Midshipmen coach Rick Sowell, however, disputed that characterization Tuesday afternoon. He acknowledged that Hull is dealing with a sore muscle and that the injury is in the groin area. “He's been dealing with an injury, but it hasn't been a hernia,” Sowell said.

Navy's Hull increasingly a focus on and off field Tucker Hull is too busy trying to score a goal or find an open teammate to notice what his opponent is doing. It's only a few days afterward, when the Navy sophomore attackman is reviewing game film, that he sees how he affects defensemen when he has the ball. Hull's influence is even noticeable to fellow sophomore attackman Sam Jones . "When I look back at the film, when Tucker has the ball, there are a lot of people looking at him," Jones said.

Saturday's contest between Navy and No. 11 Colgate is a showdown between two programs that have combined to capture six of the last eight Patriot League Tournament championships. The game is also a stage for the nation's top two scorers to meet on the same field. Midshipmen junior attackman Tucker Hull and Raiders junior midfielder Peter Baum have skyrocketed to the top of the chart in terms of points per game this season. Baum leads all Division I players in points per game (5.8)

Tucker Hull had three goals and five assists to lead the Navy men's lacrosse team (2-3, 1-1 Patriot League) to a 12-7 victory over host Lafayette (2-3, 0-1) on Saturday. Pat Durkin put the Midshipmen on the scoreboard first, taking a pass from Jordan Seivold and sticking it past Lafayette keeper Andrijko Andrusko at the 11:13 mark in the first quarter. Lafayette answered with back-to-back goals just 46 seconds apart, taking a 2-1 lead with just over eight minutes remaining in the opening period.

In a recent obituary, I mauled the spelling of a ship's name, the USS Reina Mercedes, which was a three-masted Spanish-American War prize that dated to 1887 and had been a fixture on the Naval Academy waterfront for decades. It wasn't long before my inbox was swimming with emails regarding my mistake, and a few old salts even put pen to paper to let me know I had it wrong. A number of academy graduates pointed out the error of my ways, and they were joined by Jeff Landaw , an eagle-eyed veteran Baltimore Sun copy editor and longtime colleague, who saw it after it was too late to spare me professional embarrassment.

NBA Cassell granted permission to interview with Rockets Multiple NBA sources have confirmed that Washington Wizards assistant Sam Cassell will interview for the Houston Rockets' vacant head coaching job. The story was first reported Tuesday by Fox 26 Sports in Houston. Cassell, who attended Dunbar, has sought a head coaching job since his playing days, and the Wizards granted permission for him to speak with the team that drafted him out of Florida State in 1993.
