From Press Release

The Haverford College men’s lacrosse team showed it can compete with the best teams in Division III a season ago with victories on the road against top 10 foes Dickinson and Ursinus. The 2020 Fords will seek more consistency as they look for a return to the Centennial Conference Tournament after qualifying during the 2018 season.

Haverford’s graduated Class of 2019 featured 10 different players who appeared in at least 10 games last year, including five regular starters headlined by honorable mention All-American Ben Frost ’19. Nevertheless, multiple Fords played a significant role in those victories as 12 returners played in at least 10 games last year. That group includes second-team All-Centennial Conference goalie Ethan Donlon and Haverford’s leading scoring from a season ago in Sean Mowatt-Larssen. The 2020 season will be head Nick Taylor’s second leading the Fords as 13 first-years will join his team.

Attack

Sean Mowatt-Larssen headlines the attacking unit after leading the Fords in goals (28) and points (36) during his rookie season. Starting all 14 games he played last year, Mowatt-Larssen registered multiple goals in nine different contests. His offensive output included scoring the game-winning goal against Ursinus and a five-goal effort against Gwynedd Mercy. Classmate Wyatt Feinberg also got four starts on his way to a five goal, three assist season.

Senior Noah Hollander is the most experienced attacker of the returning players as he has played in 30 career games, making five starts. He appeared in every game during his first two seasons with the Fords and will look for a similar impact this coming spring. Fellow senior Connor Braun will also have the opportunity for an increased role with a number of the team’s point producers graduating from a year ago.

Newcomers on attack: Andrew Arth (George School), Peter Christians, Ben Meyers

Midfield

One of the most experienced units on the team, the midfield will feature junior co-captain Anthony Vizzoni and classmate Brian Geffroy who have each played in 29 games during their first two seasons. A long pole in the midfield, Vizzoni was second on the team in both ground balls (44) and caused turnovers (9) in 2019. Geffroy made his impact on the attack as he has scored 24 career goals, including the game-winner in overtime against Kenyon and another four-goal effort versus Washington College in 2019. Sophomore Blake Brinster (Shawnee) also made an instant impact in the attacking end with 11 starts and 10 goals during his rookie season while junior Ben Fujinaga added four goals from the midfield.

Long stick middies Jacob Shiff (sophomore) and Matt Culkin (junior) have both appeared in over 10 games throughout their careers while fellow middies Charlie Russ (senior) and Gray Pollock (sophomore) are also experienced options. Pollock collected 14 ground balls last season while Russ is the most experienced face-off man with 44 victories. Sophomores Nate Ruhl (Wilmington Friends) and Gabe Durso will handle the primary face-off duties for the Fords this year after backing up Zack Cohen ’19 last year. Keegan Hoag and Jordany Baltazar (Westtown School) will also look to take steps forward in their second year with the program.

Newcomers in midfield: Eric Dahlberg, Jared Heller, Drew Hoffman, Nate Rose (Abington), Spencer Sapir, Elijah Vega (Westtown School)

Defense

The Fords’ defense also returns a number of experience players as all six of those returning players have appeared in at least 15 contests. Senior co-captain Griffin Brooks is the most experienced of this unit with 40 career appearances during which he has scooped up 30 ground balls and caused 14 turnovers. Junior Colby Ferrigno started all 15 games on defense a season and led the team with 17 caused turnovers while also collecting 30 ground balls.

Co-captain Brendan Narko and fellow senior Gabe Moon (George School) have both appeared in 18 career games. Moon collected 21 ground balls and caused four turnovers while Narko has four GBs and two CTs. Junior Jonathan Frost missed most of last season but did start two of his three appearances to close the year and also has experience at face-off. Max Elliott is the lone returning sophomore from the unit, but he appeared in all 15 games a year ago, securing 17 ground balls and causing six turnovers.

Newcomers: Tommy Dandino, David Harris, Asher Porphy, Khalil Walker

Goalie

Junior Ethan Donlon is the incumbent after taking over the starting position midway through last year. He was named to the USILA National Team and the Week and the Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week after huge performances in the aforementioned top 10 victories. Donlon has made six career starts, all of which came last year, and has stopped over 54% of the shots he has faced to date. With a deep goaltending unit in recent history, senior Kyle Buseck and junior Joe Weisberg will move up the depth chart for a Haverford team that has one of the strongest traditions of top-notch goalies across Division III.

Schedule: Six teams ranked in the USILA Preseason Top 20 are on the Fords schedule, including defending national champion Cabrini which is the team’s home and season opener. The always-challenging Centennial Conference schedule features four teams in the preseason national rankings, but Haverford will have the opportunity to host three of those ranked CC foes on Swan Field. Haverford’s schedule also includes a trip to Colorado during the College’s Spring Break where the team will take on Colorado College and Baldwin Wallace.

The Cabrini men’s lacrosse team made an early statement today, as the No. 3 Cavaliers scored a 14-2 win at Haverford in the 2020 debut for both teams.

The defending NCAA Division III champion Blue and White recorded 51 shots, as eight Cavaliers marked the scoring column.

Senior Jake Klein (Wilson) paced the Cabrini attack with six points, including four assists. The senior was also one of six players to record two goals on the day.

Fellow senior Ty Kostack (Spring-Ford) paired two goals and two assists, while freshman Kohl Wesner (Hempfield) tallied two goals and a helper in his collegiate debut. Senior Matt LoParo, junior Kyle Tucker and freshman Austin Bolton also scored two goals each, while senior Mike Gerzabek (Springfield-Delco) notched a pair of assists.

Senior goaltender Matt Nestler collected the victory after posting seven saves in the first half, before being replaced by freshman Matt Sadeger.

Senior defenseman Tommy DeLuca paired four caused turnovers and five ground balls, with juniors Jake Huey (Marple Newtown) and Corey Carver and freshman Drew Brown (Radnor) joining senior Bobby Cressman (Berks Catholic) with three ground balls each.

The Cavaliers wasted little time in finding its offensive rhythm, as Wesner’s first collegiate goal came less than two minutes into the season. The rookie’s goal sparked a Blue and White offensive attack that outshot the Fords 15-3 and pressured them into seven turnovers in the first period.

Cabrini built a 6-0 cushion after 15 minutes, as five Cavaliers marked the scoring column in the first quarter. The Cavaliers’ scoring run rolled into the second quarter, as LoParo and Bolton pushed the lead to 8-0 before the home side converted a man-up situation midway through the period.

Haverford pulled to within 9-2 at the halftime break, but any hopes of a comeback were dashed, as the Blue and White held the Fords to just one shot on goal in the second half.

Brian Geffroy scored both goals for Haverford off passes from Wyatt Feinberg. Goaltender Ethan Donlon recorded 14 saves in the loss.

COVID-19 has certainly made this an unpredictable year at Haverford. Head men’s lacrosse coach Nick Taylor recently sat down for an interview where he talks about his team is dealing with the current circumstances, staying connected as a team, and making the most of every opportunity they have together.

Taylor is currently in his third season leading the men’s lacrosse program at Haverford. In his first year with the Fords he led the program to a pair of top-10 victories and coached Ben Frost ’19 who was named the Centennial Conference Player of the Year and received Haverford’s William W. Ambler ’45 Award.

Although the 2020 season was cut short, the Fords continued to test themselves with a nationally-challenging schedule which ultimately concluded with an 11-5 win over Baldwin Wallace during the team’s trip to Colorado in March.

Taylor joined the Fords after serving as the head coach at Arcadia for four seasons while becoming the program’s winningest coach.

Washington College Director of Athletics Thad Moore has announced the appointment of Shoreman Athletic Hall of Famer and former Haverford School coach John Nostrant ’86 as the 12th head men’s lacrosse coach in the history of the program. A 1986 graduate of the College, Nostrant was a three-time NCAA Division III All-American midfielder and key member of three national-runner up squads during his time in Chestertown.

“We couldn’t be happier welcoming John back to Washington College,” stated Moore. “We are very fortunate to have someone with John’s accomplishments and experience lead our team into the next chapter of Shoremen lacrosse. His passion for Washington College was very evident during the interview process and he will be a wonderful addition to our department and the College as a whole.”

“I am truly honored and humbled to be named head lacrosse coach at Washington College,” Nostrant said. “My time at the College was some of the most impactful years of my life. I built relationships with teammates and classmates that are as strong today as they were thirty-five years ago.

“I learned how to compete at the highest level and was mentored by some of the best professors and coaches in the country. I look forward to providing that same experience to the current and future members of the lacrosse team and their families. The history of Washington College lacrosse is rich and the thought of leading this program with the help and support of so many alums who share my story is a dream come true. I look forward to getting to work and continuing to build on the foundation provided by Coach Shirk and the other phenomenal coaches who have led the program.”

Nostrant, who was inducted into Washington College’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2002, has been the head lacrosse coach at The Gilman School (Baltimore, Md.) since his hiring in 2019. Prior to his time at Gillman, Nostrant spent 28 years at the Haverford School, where he built a national power and amassed two mythical scholastic national titles (undefeated teams in 2011 and 2015), two PA state titles and won 490 games and 14 Inter-Ac League championship.

Nostrant – who recently won his 500th game as a high school coach and was a two-time Phillylacrosse.com Coach of the Year – joined the faculty and coaching staff at Haverford School and assumed the head coach position in 1991. In addition to his lacrosse duties, Nostrant was the director of athletics at Haverford for 22 years. Before Haverford, he served as the head lacrosse coach at St. Albans School in Washington, DC in 1990-1991 after serving as an assistant coach for one season. He began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Washington College, where he spent three seasons (1986-1989).

On the field, Nostrant was named National High School Coach of the Year in 2015. Along the way, he has coached 36 high school All-Americans. He also served as an assistant coach for the USA U-19 world team, which won the gold medal in 2008.

An accomplished professional player for three different teams, Nostrant was selected as a Second Team All-Pro in 1991 and 1992 as a member of the Philadelphia Wings of the Major League Lacrosse (MLL). John, who played for the Wings from 1992 through 1996, also played outdoor lacrosse in the National Lacrosse League (NLL) for the Baltimore Tribe (1987) and Baltimore Thunders (1989-1991). He won three championships during his time with the Wings and played in six straight Championships all together.

Nostrant matriculated to Washington College from C. W. Baker High School, Baldwinsville, NY, where he had been an outstanding football, basketball and lacrosse player. John was a tremendous midfielder all four years for the Shoremen and captained the squad in 1986. As good a player as he was, it was his leadership that was so valuable to the teams that played in three of four NCAA Division III national championship games. His acknowledgement of what should take place on the field, especially during very competitive games, and his ability to motivate and guide his teammates, was an immeasurable talent.

Nostrant was selected to the NCAA Division III All-American squad three times on the Second Team. During each of his four years here, Washington College defeated archrival Salisbury. During his junior year, the team defeated both Navy and Hobart. He was selected by his teammates for the Most Valuable Player Award during his senior year.

Nostrant is the founder of John Nostrant Lacrosse Camps for youth boys and is the co-director of Mesa Lacrosse for girls and boys. John also organized the Checking for Cancer Lacrosse Tournament, which has raised money to support cancer research and families stricken by cancer.

Nostrant, who is also a member of the Southeastern Pennsylvania Lacrosse Hall of Fame, holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Washington College. In addition, he holds a Master’s in Education/Principal Certification from Cabrini University in Radnor, Pennsylvania.

Nostrant and his wife, Gina, have three children who have all played lacrosse at the Division I level. Oldest daughter Olivia (24) was an All-Big South Conference defender at High Point while son John (22) was an Academic All-Big Ten midfielder at Penn State. Youngest daughter Marcella (21) is currently a defender at VCU.

The Washington College men’s lacrosse team has made 33 NCAA and USILA Tournament appearances. The Shoremen, who are 680-402-1 all-time, won the 1998 NCAA Division III National Championship and the 1954 USILA Laurie Cox Division Co-National Championship. Washington College men’s lacrosse players have earned All-America honors 234 times. The 2022 season will be the 81st season of varsity men’s lacrosse at Washington College. The College first fielded a varsity men’s lacrosse program from 1929 until 1934 and revived the sport for the 1948 season.

Defending champion Franklin & Marshall – led by many Philly grads – edged Gettysburg for the top spot in the 2022 Centennial Conference Women’s Lacrosse Preseason Poll. The Diplomats totaled 78 points and six first-place votes, while the Bullets were close behind in second place with 76 points and the other four first-place tallies.

Washington College earned third place in the vote among CC head coaches with 64 points, while Dickinson (51) and Haverford (50) were also projected as playoff teams in fourth and fifth place, respectively.

McDaniel landed sixth in the voting with 38 points, followed by Muhlenberg (32), Swarthmore (27), Ursinus (25), and Bryn Mawr (9).

The 2022 campaign begins on Saturday, Feb. 19 with four CC squads in action, while all 10 conference teams will open up their seasons by Feb. 26. Conference play commences on Saturday, March 26 and continues through the end of April. The five-team CC Tournament will begin with the opening round on May 4, followed by the semifinals and championship on May 7-8, hosted by the No. 1 seed.

No teams other than Franklin & Marshall and Gettysburg has captured a Centennial women’s lacrosse title since 2001 – can 2022 be the year that another CC squad rises above these perennial powers? Time will tell, but as evidenced by the CC preseason poll, conference head coaches expect another strong campaign from both the Diplomats and Bullets.

In a shortened 2021 season with no conference tournament due to the COVID-19 pandemic, F&M secured the CC title and a trip to the NCAA Tournament with a 5-0 conference record, including a 17-14 victory over Gettysburg on the final game of the regular season to clinch the team crown. The Diplomats eventually fell to William Smith in the NCAA second round, concluding the year with a 7-1 overall record.

Another talented group returns to the Centennial this spring, with 19 All-Centennial, 10 All-Region, and four All-Americans back with their respective teams in 2022.

The F&M quartet of Emily Kitchin (Sr., GK), Marissa McGarrey (Sr., M, Baldwin), Ally Marino (Sr., A, Episcopal Academy) and Mary Pat McKenna (Jr., D, Spring-Ford) headline the list of returning CC players after representing the Centennial on the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Association (IWLCA) All-America team last spring. Kitchin leads the way as a two-time All-America pick, and was a 2021 first-team selection along with McGarry. Marino and McKenna nabbed second team accolades last year. McGarrey (CC Midfielder of the Year) and McKenna (CC Defensive Player of the Year) are also the reigning CC major award winners at their respective positions.

Muhlenberg’s Ariella Lerner (Sr., A) is back for the Mules after nabbing second team accolades last spring.

F&M (7) and Gettysburg (9) are both ranked among the top-10 in the IWLCA Preseason Poll.

From Haverford Press Release

The host Haverford College men’s lacrosse team toppled No. 18 Stevens, 11-9, Wednesday night at Swan Field. Kicking off their 50th anniversary season in style at home, the Fords never trailed the Ducks in a methodical and convincing triumph.

The victory was Haverford’s highest ranked win since the Fords (1-1) defeated then-No. 10 Dickinson in April of 2019.

Sean Mowatt-Larssen tallied four goals to lead all scorers, as the senior proved to be the difference maker on the attack line in the early goings. Matt Richards and Andrew Arth (George School) also both tallied a hat-trick on the night, with Richards adding two assists as he continues an impressive first month of his first year campaign.

First year goalie Colby Freeman again looked up to the task stopping 11 shots in his 60 minutes of action between the pipes.

Haverford began the contest with Richards finding the back of the net early, before an immediate answer from Brendan Sullivan of the Ducks to level the score at 1-1. Haverford then rattled off two more strikes from Arth and Richards, but Michael Burns added one back at the end of the first period as Haverford clung to a one-goal cushion.

The second saw the Fords rattle off four unanswered goals heading into the halftime break, taking an 8-3 lead as Mowatt-Larssen tallied three times in that stanza, including a pair of man-up goals. In total, the Fords went 3-5 on their man-up opportunities, making the most of the extra attacker.

With the halftime lead sitting at five, the Fords knew that Stevens would be hungry to even things up immediately out of the gates. Jack Saverse scored directly out of the halftime face-off, but Will Graves converted for the Fords to restore the five-goal advantage. Brendan Sullivan then cut the lead down to just three converting twice in a matter of minutes, but a power play conversion from Arth helped set the tone for the hosts going into the final frame.

Arth later found his third of the game with 10:32 to go, and the Fords withstood a late flurry from the Ducks, as the visitors got to within two but could not complete the comeback after a fruitless possession following a timeout in the waning moments.

For the Fords, a constant defensive pressure frustrated Stevens into avoidable penalties. Nate Rose (Abington) had two caused turnovers to pace Haverford as six different players forced a turnover on the evening in total. Arth scooped six ground balls while 11 different Fords recorded multiple ground balls on the night. Teddy Carlin helped set the tone at the faceoff X, winning 11 times.

The victory was Haverford’s first over Stevens since the 1978 season, and evens the all-time series between the two programs at 5-5.

Gwynedd Mercy (1-1) earned Head Coach Blase Cesarone his first career win in dominant fashion as it blitzed Juniata College, 16-8, today.

The Eagles scored the first goal of the game, 1-0 (13:52), but the Griffins got a pair of tallies from Jason Eide and Evan Yanuzzi (Notre Dame-Green Pond). Juniata got one back with a man-up goal at 5:39, but senior attack Cameron Ostroff (Brandywine-DE) made sure the Eagle rally was short-lived as he found sophomore midfielder Tyler Long (Downingtown West) for a goal and Yanuzzi for a goal at 2:14; 5-2.

Eide led Gwynedd with six points (4 goals, 2 assists), four ground balls, and two caused turnovers. Ostroff totaled five points (2 goals, 3 assists) and recovered a ground ball, while Ian Kish (Bethlehem Catho0lic) and Long finished with four points apiece. They each recorded three goals and an assist; the former also recorded five ground balls and a caused turnovers, while the latter added a pair of ground balls. Yanuzzi (2 goals, 1 assist) and Jack Freeland (3 assists, Paul VI-NJ) finished with three points apiece.

Junior defenseman Sam Flamma (Washington Twp.) headlined the Griffin back line with five ground balls and three caused turnovers. In goal, senior Aubron Swartley (Mechanicsburg, Pa.) and junior Chase McFeeley (Mullica Hill, N.J.) split the 60 minutes. Swartley recorded 10 saves in the first half and earned the win (1-1). McFeeley made five saves in the second half.

Haverford 15, Mary Washington 14

The Fords (2-1) completed a dramatic comeback victory over Mary Washington (1-3) at Swan Field.

Sophomore face-off specialist Teddy Carlin had a major impact on that final scoreline, keeping his team in the contest with a program-record 25 face-off wins. Carlin’s impressive total eclipses the 24 wins from Sebastian Mankowski in 2004 and was just the second time a Haverford player had gone above 20 wins in a single contest. Carlin also scooped nine ground balls to put an exclamation mark on an outstanding day at the X.

The midfield play of Blake Brinster was also key for the Haverford win, as he tallied a hat-trick while Sean Mowatt-Larssen continued his outstanding run to start the season, adding four goals and three assists to the ledger. Matt Richards and Andrew Arth (George School) also each added a pair of goals. Eric Dahlberg was seemingly everywhere on Saturday, with seven ground balls and a caused turnover.

In goal, Colby Freeman got the start making five saves in 36 minutes of work before Jacob Abraham came in for relief work and picked up his first career victory behind six saves in 23 minutes of action. A heroic save just before the final buzzer helped preserve the win for the Fords.

Senior Jill Verrelle (Clearview Regional-NJ) and first-year Maeve Leonzi (Parkland) both earned hat tricks as the Ursinus College women’s lacrosse team defeated Arcadia Saturday afternoon, 13-9.

With the win, the Bears improved to 2-1 overall after winning their second consecutive game. Meanwhile, the Knights of the MAC Freedom Conference fall to 1-4 overall on the season.

Leading by one at the start of the fourth quarter the Bears outscored the Knights 4-1 in the closing period to earn the road victory.

The Bears jumped on the board early as Leonzi found the back of the net at the 14:04 mark.

In the second quarter, Grace Lynch (Moorestown) snuck a shot past the goalkeeper to give the Bears a 4-2 lead at the 13:57 mark.

In the third quarter, Arcadia’s Sarah Morris tied the game at six a piece with a goal just 44 seconds into the half. The Bears answered with a 2-0 run after Leonzi and Verrelle found the back of the net and held an 8-6 advantage at the 8:05 mark. Arcadia tied the score at eight a piece after Morris and Maddie Ruger scored on back-to-back possessions. Junior Julie Cherneskie (Pope John Paul II) followed up with her first goal of the season with 54 seconds remaining in the quarter to give the Bears a 9-8 advantage through three quarters.

The Bears controlled the fourth quarter, as Mary Michaud (Phoenixville) got the offense going at the 13:42 mark with her second goal of the season. After an Arcadia goal, Michaud found Leonzi in front of the net and she connected for third goal of the contest. Two minutes later, Verrelle found the back of the net and gave Ursinus an 12-9 advantage with 8:23 to play. Michaud closed out the contest scoring her second goal of the game at the 4:18 mark of the fourth quarter.

Meghan O’Shea and Orli McGuire-Berk (Moorestown) led the way for the Owls with three goals apiece, while eight other players scored for Bryn Mawr on the day.

Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 3/14/22 – From Press Release

After sprinting out to a 4-0 start to begin the 2022 campaign, the Haverford College women’s lacrosse team is getting some national recognition for those efforts, as the Fords check in at No. 24 in the latest IL Women/IWLCA Division III Coaches Poll, the IWLCA announced today.

The national ranking represents the second time that the Fords have received votes in the poll this season, and the first time the Fords have entered the national rankings since the 2019 season. 

The Fords recently completed another 2-0 week, with wins over then-No. 22 Christopher Newport and St. Mary’s of Maryland on the team’s spring break trip. Haverford is one of three Centennial Conference teams ranked in the ILWomen/IWLCA Poll. Gettysburg checks in as the No. 2 team in the national while Franklin & Marshall is sixth in this week’s rankings. Washington College dropped out of the poll, but is still receiving votes. 

Defending national champions Salisbury are the No. 1 team in the nation after handling No. 2 Gettysburg by a 14-9 final on March 9. Williams College also joins the top 25 poll along with the Fords, checking in at No. 25. 

A testament to Haverford’s strong schedule will be on display this week, as Haverford travels to No. 8 TCNJ on Tuesday for a 4 p.m. opening draw before returning home for a Saturday contest against No. 14 York (1 p.m.).
