Major League Lacrosse (MLL) recently announced Denver Outlaws backup goalie and Herricks High School graduate Charlie Cipriano as Warrior Defensive Player of the Week in recognition of his performance in Denver’s win over the Florida Launch.
Cipriano came in early in the second quarter when the Launch led 7-5 to relieve starting goalie Jesse Schwartzman, who had played the previous night in the 2014 FIL World Championships.
Cipriano had 11 saves on 14 shots faced, allowing only three goals in 38:52 of play, for a career-high .786 save percentage. He was named Coca-Cola Player of the Game for his performance.
The backup goalie now has 35 saves and a .530 save percentage on the season in five games played.
This marks the fourth time this season a Denver Outlaw has been named Warrior Defensive Player of the Week.
