Dressel was an exceptional midfielder who excelled at both offense and defense, playing before the game changed to specialized offensive and defensive specialists. He was awarded the Lt. Donald McLaughlin Jr. Award as the nation's top midfielder in both 1984 and 1985.^[2] He is one of only four college players to be named a first-team All-American four times, the others being Douglas Turnbull (Johns Hopkins, 1922–25), Frank Urso (Maryland, 1973–76) and Mike Powell (Syracuse, 2001–04).^[3]

He attended Gilman School, was a two time High School All American^[4] and honored with the C. Markland Kelly award to designate the best high school lacrosse player in Maryland.^{[citation needed]} After a brief enrollment at Harvard, Dressel transferred to Johns Hopkins. He would later go on to University of Tulane medical school in 1990. Del ended his career at Hopkins as one of their all-time top scorers with 99 goals and 75 assists for 174 points, good for thirteenth all-time.
