Gavin Tygh, Penn Charter (Pa.)
Tygh became the nation’s leader for the most career faceoff wins with a 15-for-21 performance against Lawrenceville (N.J.) on Saturday.
The Virginia commit has 1,148 career wins to break the record previously held by TD Ierlan*.
Tygh started the week winning 17 of 19 face-offs to help Penn Charter control the ball and defeat St. Augustine Prep (N.J.) 8-7, which put him close to the record.
The senior is winning 71 percent of his opportunities this season and has eight games in which he has won at least 11 face-offs.
In each of the last two seasons, Tygh has won more than 300 faceoffs. He has 136 this season.
Editor’s Note: Ierlan’s college bio lists him with 1,135 career wins, but Victor head coach Jim Andre has him with 1,119. For the purposes of this article, we are using the college totals to ensure the record is broken.
