Bryant University head coach Mike Pressler is pleased to announce the addition of 14 student-athletes to the 2010 Bryant University men’s lacrosse team.
The group of newcomers includes a 13-member Class of 2013 and one junior college transfer.
“It is with great pleasure that I welcome the Bryant University men’s lacrosse Class of 2013 to Smithfield, R.I.,” said Pressler, who enters his fourth season at the helm of the Bulldog program. “This is our second recruiting class in the Division I model, and we couldn’t be more pleased with this group’s level of athleticism, talent and commitment, not to mention their undeniable desire to be successful.”
Among the 14 newcomers are the brothers of four current Bulldogs (freshmen Kyle Crowley, Michael Rauchut and Glenn Maiorano, as well as junior college transfer sophomore Brock Weisenberg), a student-athlete from our neighbors to the north (Nils Thompson (Alberta, Canada), a pair from the left coast (Nick Miller and Zach Nichelman), and even a local standout (Ben Sternberg (North Kingstown, R.I.).
