-- from an email from Dan's mother, Mimi Gibson:

"This picture of Dan Gibson was taken 2 Saturday's ago when ND played Navy up in the Fall Face Off showcase tournament in St. Louis.  ND beat Navy 11-3...Dan enjoyed playing attack for most of the 4th quarter!  This pic came from lax.com, a great NCAA info website. 

"Interestingly, coach Kevin Corrigan has the ND freshmen lacrosse players wear their high school helmets and gloves for fall ball freshman year--so it is a timely shot because Dan's helmet will turn gold this spring!  He has been proud to sport his MUS apparel for fall ball!!  His coaches from MUS--Elliott Dent (and family) and Ron Ainsley, along with several families and MUS/Navy alum Memphian All-American Ben Bailey went up to watch the action in St. Louis 2 weeks ago.  It was so fantastic! 

"Sorry I don't have a pic from the John Hopkins game [October 15], the OT 9-8 victory against the 2005 National Champion Blue Jays kept us on the edge of our seats!"
