AT ADRIAN

Despite a shortened 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bulldogs showed promise of a program on the rise with a 4-1 start--matching the team's best since 2015.
Four Bulldogs earned five Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association athlete of the week awards--none in the previous four years until Wetzel's arrival.
The Bulldogs have been named to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Warrior and New Balance Division III National Team of the Week three times during his tenure, which is the most in MIAA history.
Mentored the only multi-USILA Warrior and New Balance weekly honoree in conference history, Max Leventis (March 10, 2020; Feb. 25, 2019).
Under Wetzel's tutelage, Leventis already has set school records for groundballs in a game (22 at Earlham, 3/7/2020) and season (174, 2019) as well as face-off wins in a game (26 vs Kalamazoo, 4/23/2019) and season (235, 2019) through just two seasons.
As a freshman, Leventis ranked third nationally with 12.43 ground balls per game to pace the MIAA in 2019. As a team, Adrian scooped up 42.93 per game that year.
Twenty-one team and individual school records have been broken or tied under Wetzel's watch.
In the truncated 2020 campaign, sophomore attack Chris French led the MIAA in goals (21) and shots (57), classmate Peyton Gasche topped the conference in total points (33) and assists (16), and Leventis paced the MIAA with 50 ground balls and 84 face-off wins.
As a team last spring, the Bulldogs were first in caused turnovers and man-up goals.
During Wetzel's first season in 2019, the team's No. 1 MIAA statistical rankings included 38.29 shots per game, 30.8 shooting percentage, 65.3 shots-on-goal percentage, 30 man-up goals, 36.6 man-up percentage,
