Mea culpa to UMBC

Today's lacrosse preview contained an outdated capsule on UMBC, using information from the 2009 preview. I wish to extend my apologies to Retrievers coach Don Zimmerman, the rest of the coaching staff, the players and their fans for not including updated information. (Thanks to B. Kevin Gibbons-O'Neill, assistant athletic director in charge of fundraising and development, for notifying me of the egregious mistake.) Here is the updated capsule:

UMBC

THE BALTIMORE SUN’S TAKE

A year removed from finishing sixth in the nation in scoring, the Retrievers must replace the 84 goals and 39 assists lost when midfielders Peet Poillon and Alex Hopmann and attackman Ryan Smith graduated. Wimer will look to lead the offense and will get help from Latham and Jones. The defense welcomes back Atwell, who tore an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee before the season began. The goalie position comes down to senior Kevin Kohri, sophomores Brian McCullough and Matt Holman and freshman Adam Cohen.
