When Pressler was hired at Duke in 1991, the Blue Devils were thinking about dropping the program. They had limited scholarships, had no full-time assistants and were the laughingstock of the Atlantic Coast Conference. By the time Pressler left, he had compiled a 153-82 record, won three ACC championships, played in 10 NCAA tournaments and appeared in the 2005 Division I championship game.
The Bulldogs have three good senior attackmen in Zack Greer (17 goals, 11 assists), Kevin Hoagland (12, 4) and Bryan Kaufmann (12, 4). Greer, a former Duke star, is the best finisher in the college game.
Pressler has a 29-10 record at Bryant and has won two Northeast-10 Conference titles. He has a new locker room, stadium and turf fields and uses them in trying to make recruiting inroads in Baltimore and nationally in places such as San Francisco and Dallas.
