MARYLAND (0-0) at VILLANOVA (0-0)

Site: Villanova Stadium, Villanova, Pa.

Time: 1 p.m.

Outlook: Maryland, which was 7-6 last season, has won 10 of 11 season openers, including an 18-7 victory over Villanova last year. A Rob Chomo and M Kip Fulks return to head the Terps attack. Freshman attackmen Andrew Whipple and Matt Hahn also should play. Villanova, which was 5-8 last year, lost two All-Americans, including its all-time leading scorer, Rick Bontatibus. Senior A Kevin Crowley and junior A Mark Nagle are the Wildcats' top offensive threats.

UMBC (0-0) at NAVY (0-0)

Site: Turf Field, Annapolis

Time: 1:30 p.m.

Outlook: Navy (7-6 last year) plays its first game under coach Richie Meade. Rob Bailey returns to lead a experienced attack line, which will carry the scoring load for a young midfield. UMBC (7-7 last year) has 15 newcomers. Chris Brown, a first-team junior-college All-American last year, debuts in goal for the Retrievers.
