Spurred by Zach Thornton, sixth-ranked Loyola scored early and often as it rolled to a 21-5 victory at UMBC last night.Thornton, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound senior midfielder, scored three of the game's first four goals, firing bullets from in close. UMBC goalie Chris Brown had almost no chance against any of them.The Greyhounds (8-1) next play at home Tuesday against No. 4 Syracuse. The next game for UMBC (4-6) is at home against Towson State next Saturday.Thornton opened the night's scoring unassisted when he dodged past two defenders and fired one over Brown's right shoulder 2:49 into the game.

No one is more qualified to analyze the Johns Hopkins-Loyola game Saturday than Towson State's Carl Runk.No. 10 Towson State lost to both teams, to No. 3 Loyola by one goal and to No. 6 Hopkins by four last Saturday. Runk said the Blue Jays "are going to get their shots" (they average 52 to Loyola's 45), so a key factor will be the play of Greyhounds goalie Tim McGeeney."The pressure is on McGeeney," Runk said. "We found Hopkins' offense more difficult to defend against than Loyola's. McGeeney is the answer in that game."

A men's lacrosse capsule in yesterday's Sun incorrectly reported the best start in Loyola College history. The 1989 team went 10-0 in the regular season.The Sun regrets the errors.Tim McGeeney is walking into a goalie's nightmare.He can't wait.McGeeney is the last line of defense for Loyola, which is in Syracuse, N.Y., tonight for its stiffest challenge since it was first voted No. 1 in men's college lacrosse on April 11.Since losing to Loyola at Curley Field in March 1993, Syracuse has won an NCAA title and gone 19-1, the only setback coming at Johns Hopkins a month ago. The third-ranked Orangemen are nearly unbeatable at the Carrier Dome, where the crescendo of the crowd accompanies their relentless transition game, a combination that buries all but a few visitors.
