2015 was a breakout year for Will. Facing one of the toughest schedules in the nation considering faceoff win percentages of our opponents, Will proved himself to be a premier man at the X. In the last five games of the season, four of the opponents had faceoff specialists that finished the season in the top 10 (#1, #4, #7, #9). Will finished the season with a 59% success rate and above 52% combined against those four top FO men. Another aspect of Will’s game that made big strides last year was his shooting on the run, making him an offensive threat in transition. Will’s development as a top faceoff specialist as well as a scorer is one of the most critical reasons for our team’s ability to play as fast as we do...2015: First Team All-New England...One of the top face-off men in the country...Captured 233-of-391 face-offs (.596), 12th best in the nation...Captured 16-of-20 face-offs in Brown's Ivy League Playoff game vs. Yale, and registered a 12-9 advantage vs. Princeton...His 5.17 ground balls per game ranked 25th nationally...Captured 16-of-25 face-offs vs. Harvard, including 8-of-9 in thefourth quarter...Turned in an outstanding performance vs. Denver in the NCAA Playoffs, winning 15-of-25 face-offs against the nation's #1 face-off man, Trevor Baptiste...2014: Saw action in the face-off x, capturing 23-of-56 face-offs...Scored goals against Hobart and Cornell...2013: Missed the entire season due to injury...Secondary School Background: A graduate of The Haverford School where he lettered in lacrosse (3) and track (3)…Lacrosse - 2011: National Champions… Under Armour All-America underclassmen selection…65% on 120 face-offs…2012: all-Inter-ac honors. 61% on over 350 face-offs…Indoor track- Captain Senior year…Academic Honors and Awards - Work ethic award…Personal: The son of David and Jill Gural…Has a sister, Eve, and a brother, Peter…Business, Organizations and Entrepreneurship concentrator.
