PSU isn't really coming out of nowhere

Lacrosse fans have been keenly aware of the talent Tambroni was bringing in to PSU over the last 9 years. Tambroni took Cornell built on what Petro started and took Cornell to greater heights to the point they should have won the 2009 National Title game (they had the game in the bag but made several mistakes in the last couple of minutes). In fact, many were wondering why it was taking so long. They redid their facilities about 3-4 years ago and have a good pipeline into top HS in Philly like Haverford, Malvern Prep and LaSalle and have been pulling kids out of other hotbeds.

They are also shooting the lights out. Right now they sit at 44 or 45% shot percentage. That is absurd. It will destroy the record of shot percentage as a team, which stands at something like .401.
