Hall of Fame
A three-year starter on defense, Carl helped Towson advance to the 1991 NCAA Division I National Championship, earning honorable mention All-American honors twice and second team in his senior year when he served as a team co-captain. He passed away suddenly on July 2, 2018 at the age of 50.
In his junior year Carl was selected as the team’s Joseph Ferrante Award recipient. The following year he was honored as Towson’s Unsung Hero. He represented the Tigers in the ’92 Annual North-South Senior All-Star game.
During Carl’s four-year career Towson compiled a 41-14 record that included the Tigers’ first three NCAA Division I post-season appearances (1989-91-92) and three East Coast Conference titles.
In 1991 Towson made its celebrated run for the Division I National Championship. The unseeded Tigers knocked off (6) Virginia (14-13) and (3) Princeton (14-13 overtime) on the road in the early rounds to reach the Final Four. Towson defeated (7) Maryland 15-11 in the semifinal at the Carrier Dome but lost Carl in the closing minutes with an ankle injury. He was forced to watch from the sidelines as unbeaten and top-seeded North Carolina prevailed 18-13 for the title.
After graduating from Towson, Carl was selected by the Pittsburgh Bulls of the Major Indoor Lacrosse League, playing just one season as the team folded. Carl then turned to club lacrosse, playing for The Green Turtle, Latshaw, Koopers and Mt. Washington Tavern.
The father of three daughters, Carl devoted much of his time to coaching youth girls lacrosse at Immaculate Conception School and C. Markland Kelly Post.
At the time of his death Carl was employed as the Operating Officer for the Baltimore-based clients of Brown Advisory, an independent investment management firm.
