Our man Edward Lee of the Baltimore Sun with 3 things to watch for in the Towson vs. UMass game today.

1) Faceoffs. Towson sophomore Alex Woodall ranks seventh in Division I in faceoff percentage at .620 (155-for-250) and is tied for 17th in ground balls per game at 6.0. Massachusetts junior Noah Rak ranks eighth in faceoff percentage at .614 (140-for-228) and 20th in ground balls at 5.8. In the Tigers’ 11-8 win on April 8, Woodall won 12 of 22 draws (54.5 percent) and picked up six loose balls, but Rak won 10 of 19 (52.6 percent) and matched Woodall with six ground balls. With both players enjoying strong performances on Thursday (Woodall was 12 of 14 with nine loose balls and Rak was 17 of 26 with five ground balls), Minutemen coach Greg Cannella predicted that Saturday’s tilt would be a battle.

The ease with which ocean-going oligarchs or other billionaires can be hijacked on the high seas was revealed at a superyacht conference held in a private members club in central London this week. Superyachts and bragging rights: why the super-rich love their ‘floating homes’ Read more Murray, a cybercrime expert at BlackBerry, was demonstrating how criminal gangs could exploit lax data security on superyachts to steal their owners’ financial information, private photos – and even force the yacht off course. The seaborne cybercrime threat is real: one billionaire had more than £100,000 stolen when criminals hacked his bank account. Others have been blackmailed with compromising photos, and some have already been forced to pay a ransom to unlock their vessel’s navigation systems. The cybercrime session was one of the most popular at the Superyacht Investor London conference, where the industry was celebrating the best annual sales since the 2008 financial crisis.
