Every time Brett Malamphy takes a faceoff it is a triumph.
Not because Malamphy wins the majority of draws he handles for Salisbury men’s lacrosse, which will attempt to defend its Division III national championship on Sunday.
Rather, Malamphy’s integral role with the perennial powerhouse Sea Gulls is a testament to the determination and perseverance of a young man who was dealt a difficult hand.
Malamphy has fought a frustrating battle with a rare sleep disorder that threatened to not only derail his lacrosse career, but his life as well. There have been some tough times along the way, but the Crofton resident has come out the other side with a positive outlook.
