Leckler Lines Up Warrior Award

ATLANTA- In a game that ends 19-18 one might think the player of the game would be an offensive player considering the goal output; in the case of Florida Gulf Coast’s win over Miami that kind of thinking would be wrong.  Bobby Leckler won 30 of 34 faceoffs for the Eagles while scooping 26 groundballs.  The dominant performance from Leckler fed Florida Gulf Coast’s offense and allowed them to put pressure on the Hurricanes.  The win against the Hurricanes kept the Eagles’ postseason hopes alive.  In recognition of his performance, Leckler has been named Warrior MCLA Division II Player of the Week.

The Eagles’ head coach Vinny Valentine said, “Bobby has been a staple for us at the face off X all year. For this game With so much on the line I’ve never seen an individual dominating performance like his in person. He stepped up in our seasons biggest moment and propelled us to a victory. Keeping our season alive.”

For his efforts Leckler will receive a Warrior Burn XP2-O head – a $120 value. Warrior is a proud sponsor of the MCLA.
