From the guys that brought you the internet phenomenon 90% of Lacrosse is in the Flow (click on the link for the full explanation of the secret weapon that's brought Gettysburg so much success this year, and here for the Facebook page), the very same Gettysburg Bullets who are out for the program's first-ever lacrosse title and the school's first-ever title in a men's sport, we bring you...notes. Lots of them.
It makes sense that a team with all that on the line (and, of course, the secret weapon) should have collected as many stories as it has en route to its first national championship appearance since 2002, when it fell to Middlebury.
So, refresh yourself on the Bullets before they take on Cortland State at noon on Sunday at Gillette. The game's airing live on CBS College Sports and can be followed live on our interactive bracket!
- En route to the championship game, two Bullets had to stomp on brothers. Goalie Zach Furshman downed his brother, Greg, a midfielder for Stevenson, in the national semifinals. A game earlier, midfielder Andrew Ryan saw his brother, Cy, go down with Denison in the national quarters.
- Staying on the family note, midfielder Rob Triplett's grandfather, William Triplett, played on the Johns Hopkins team that played in a demonstration game against the Canadian all-stars in the 1932 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.
- More on grandfathers: Goalie John Gilfillan's grandfather, Charles Gilfillan, was an All-American at Duke and is now in the Lacrosse Hall of Fame. Sophomore Tommy Barnett's grandfather is Dick Vermeil; his cousing, Jack, plays for Gettysburg rival Washington College.
- Head coach Hank Janczyk is second all-time in NCAA men's lacrosse coaching victories, behind Salisbury's Jim Berkman.
- Midfielder Tommy Kehoe was named D-III Player of the Year, the first in program history for Gettysburg.
- Finally, the Bullets' athletic director, David Wright, is a Cortland grad
- Many thanks to Gettysburg SID Braden Snyder for the help on this one.
