Cannons' Turner earns MLL award

by PR Wire Report/

Boston Cannons goalkeeper Kip Turner has been named Major League Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week.

Turner’s standout performance in Boston’s win over Toronto helped the Cannons clinch the first spot in the MLL’s 2010 Championship Weekend.

Turner made 16 saves on the night, allowing 10 goals to the Nationals in a full 60 minutes in the cage.

“Kip played very well on Saturday night as well as the past couple of weeks which is important as we come down the stretch and into the playoffs,” said Boston head coach Bill Daye.  “Having a goalie who’s seeing the ball and leading the defense is important for us to have success in the post season.”
