No. 3 Maryland (11-1)
Coming up: at No. 11 Ohio State, Saturday, 11 a.m.
Comment: The Terps have not lost in four meetings with the Buckeyes. Sophomore midfielder Colin Heacock's steak of seven games of at least one goal ended in Sunday's 9-8 win at Rutgers, but senior attackman Jay Carlson (St. Paul's) and sophomore attackman Matt Rambo had scored in five straight.
No. 12 Towson (9-3)
Coming up: vs. Hofstra, Saturday, noon, Johnny Unitas Stadium
Comment: The Tigers are 20-25 against the Pride, but have won two of the past three games in this series with their Colonial Athletic Association rivals. With a 6.74 goals-against average and a .605 save percentage, redshirt junior Tyler White is one of just three goalkeepers in Division I to rank in the top five in both departments, joining Maryland redshirt junior Kyle Bernlohr and Monmouth senior Garrett Conaway.
No. 17 Loyola Maryland (7-6)
Coming up: at Bucknell, Friday, 7 p.m.
Comment: The Greyhounds have not lost in four meetings with the Bison. Junior attackman Zach Herreweyers (44 points), sophomore midfielder Brian Sherlock (42) and senior attackman Nikko Pontrello (41) have helped Loyola join No. 2 North Carolina, No. 6 Duke and No. 8 Albany as teams with three 40-point producers this season.
Johns Hopkins (5-6)
Coming up: vs. Michigan, Saturday, 2 p.m., Homewood Field
Comment: The Blue Jays are 2-0 against the Wolverines, winning 17-8 in 2013 and 14-5 in 2014.

Mount St. Mary's (4-8)
Coming up: vs. Bryant, Saturday, noon, Waldron Family Stadium

UMBC (4-7)
Coming up: vs. UMass Lowell, Saturday, 1 p.m., UMBC Stadium
Comment: The Retrievers and River Hawks will tangle for the first time as rivals in the America East Conference. With one goal in Saturday's 11-10 loss to Vermont, redshirt senior attackman Conor Finch set a career high with his sixth of the season.
No. 19 Navy (8-4)
Coming up: Patriot League tournament
Comment: The Midshipmen get the weekend off after assuring themselves of a top three seed in the conference tournament. There are only two of 16 possible scenarios in which Navy would be the No. 3 seed, which would force the team to host a quarterfinal on Tuesday night.
