After a spectacular freshman campaign in which he set a Loyola Maryland record for assists with 52
and tied the program mark for points with 89, Pat Spencer is already getting
mentioned for next year’s Tewaaraton Award. And the Davidsonville resident and
Boys’ Latin graduate’s candidacy could get a significant boost from the hiring
of a new offensive coordinator who has already tutored three Tewaaraton
winners.
The
Greyhounds announced Thursday that they have hired Marc Van Arsdale to succeed
Ryan Moran, who was hired June 20 to helm UMBC. Van Arsdale had been an
assistant coach at U. of Virginia for the past 15 years, including the
last 10 as the associate head coach.
During Van Arsdale’s
tenure, the Cavaliers captured NCAA Division I championships in 2003, 2006 and
2011 and produced Tewaaraton Award winners in midfielder Chris Rotelli (2003)
and attackmen Matt Ward (2006) and Steele Stanwick (2011). Virginia ranked in the
Top 10 in offense 11 times, the Top 5 six times, and first in the country in
2006 and 2009.
