Game Notes OPENING FACE-OFF Ge ysburg and Ohio Wesleyan square off this a ernoon in the first round of the NCAA Division III Tournament. ALL-TIME SERIES Ge ysburg holds a 5-4 edge over Ohio Wesleyan in the all- me series that started in 1984. The Bullets and Ba ling Bishops have met twice in the NCAA Division III Tournament, with each team winning one game on its home field. The teams most recently met in the postseason during the 2005 tournament, with the Bullets taking a 16-9 decision. Ge ysburg has won the last four overall match-ups. NCAA TOURNAMENT HISTORY Ohio Wesleyan is making its eighth consecu ve and 26th overall NCAA Division III playoff appearance, which ranks second among all Division III ins tu ons. They are 18-25 all- me in the NCAA tournament and have finished as the na onal runner-up four mes (1987, 1988, 1989, 1993). The Bullets are making their 22nd appearance in the NCAA tournament and their ninth in a row. Ge ysburg, the na onal-runner up in 2001, 2002, and 2009, owns a record of 21-21 in NCAA tournament play. HOW THEY GOT HERE Both teams received an at-large berth into this year’s NCAA Tournament. With a record of 11-4 (3-2 North Coast Athle c Conference), Ohio Wesleyan received one of three “Pool B” bids, which are given to schools that compete as independents or in conferences that do not meet the requirements for an automa c qualifier. The Ba ling Bishops fall into the case of the la er, as the NCAC does not have the minimum seven schools for the AQ. Ge ysburg picked up one of seven “Pool C” bids, which are given to schools who do not win their conference tle but compete in conferences that have an automa c qualifier. The Bullets lost 10-5 to Dickinson College in the Centennial Conference semifinals.

SCOUTING THE BULLETS  Ge ysburg is looking to break out of a three-game losing streak; however, the last two of those losses came to 11th-ranked Dickinson, which went on to capture the Centennial Conference tle.  The Bullets’ star ng lineup features just two seniors, and the team’s top-two scorers are underclassmen. Sophomore Mar n Manilla leads the team with 34 goals while freshman Robby Maddux has added 21 goals - all of which have come in the team’s last nine games. Senior Caldwell Rohrbach leads the Bullets with 14 assists while freshman Bijan Firouzan has contributed 13 helpers.
