UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - After Penn State men's lacrosse beat Robert Morris in its season opener last Saturday, head coach Jeff Tambroni had time to evaluate the film from the game.
The Nittany Lion specialists came out in full force. At the faceoff 'x,' freshman midfielder Gerard Arceri made a big impact in his first collegiate game. Arceri went 21-for-30 in the faceoff circle, and netted his first career goal less than 10 seconds into the first quarter.
"Gerard is just so quick off the whistle, I think it starts there." Tambroni said. "He just prepares so hard in the week of practice that his performances are won and lost well before he even takes the field.
