Chris Eck Receives Most Improved MLL Player of the Year August 17, 2009 –Major League Lacrosse Commissioner David Gross announced this past week that the Boston Cannons face-off man Chris Eck has been selected as the 2009 Warrior Most Improved Player of the Year.
The award was based on the votes submitted by the head coaches and general manager of each of the League's six teams.
The second-year player Eck was drafted by the Cannons with the 38th overall pick in last year’s MLL Collegiate Draft. He played only one game the previous season before starting every game this year as the Cannons face-off extraordinaire.
Eck ranks third all-time in Division-I lacrosse history, and first in Colgate history, in face-off wins with a total of 658. - This four-time All-Patriot League honoree also owns the top three single-season win totals in Colgate lacrosse history, with his career best year coming in 2008 when he won 193 face-offs.
Eck finished second in the league winning 196 of his 359 face-off attempts. He also collected 70 groundballs and scored five goals this season, including the game-winning goal in Boston's May 30th victory over the Chicago Machine.
Eck is the second Cannons’ player to win the honor as John Christmas brought home the award in 2006.
The Boston Cannons will face the overall #1 seed Denver Outlaws in the first semifinal matchup of the day on Saturday, August 22 at 12:00 PM ET. The game will be broadcast live on ESPN2HD. |
