Team of the Year
Utah Archers
Premier Lacrosse League
In their first season as the Utah Archers, the reigning Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) champions cemented their dynasty, defending their title and becoming only the second team in league history to win back-to-back championships.
Archers battled through a 6-4 regular season before delivering in the championship game, overcoming an early 3-0 deficit behind the heroics of goalie Brett Dobson’s 17 saves. Dobson made history as the first-ever back-to-back Championship MVP, while Tom Schreiber earned the league’s Midfielder of the Year and the Leadership Award, and Ryan Ambler claimed the Teammate Award.
From years of postseason heartbreak to a full-fledged PLL powerhouse, the Utah Archers have redefined their legacy, proving they are the team to beat.
