Gwyn joined Pitt-Bradford from Concordia University Chicago, where he coached one player to All-Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference honors while also overseeing a culture change within the program that led to over a grade point increase in team GPA.
A standout high school and club player out of Maryland, Gwyn played collegiately at Division II Wheeling (W.Va.) University. Gwyn was a four-year starter at the long-stick midfield position and served as a team captain for one season. Gwyn scored two goals with seven assists. He won 40.9% of his career face-offs and collected 186 ground balls.
