Milford, MA (October 9, 2008) - Brine, an industry leader in creating innovative lacrosse gear, has signed a full hard goods official equipment supplier agreement with the Bryant University Men's Lacrosse team. The Bulldogs will take the field in the spring of 2009 using the latest Brine sticks, handles and protective equipment as the program transitions from Division II to Division I.

"This is a great day for Bryant University Men's Lacrosse and Coach Pressler," said Lee Southren, Pressler's representative from Faceoff Sports. "In addition to this agreement with Brine, former Duke All-American attackman Zack Greer has joined the Bryant team and Pressler has been named the head coach of the U.S. men's lacrosse team that will compete in the 2010 Federation of International Lacrosse World Championship in Manchester, England."

Bryant ended the 2008 season with a 14-4 overall record and the highest ranking in school history. In just two short years, Bryant had won two Northeast-10 Conference titles and advanced to the NCAA tournament under Coach Mike Pressler.

"We are very excited to not only begin a partnership with Bryant University, as the team embarks on their first season in Division I, but to also reunite with Coach Pressler," said Brine's Men's Lacrosse Brand Manager Neal Goldman. "Brine's relationship with Coach Pressler goes back many years and we couldn't be happier that he's back on our team. We're looking forward to some great years with Bryant University and we wish Coach Pressler the best of luck with the upcoming season."
