ATLANTA – The Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA), the preeminent non-varsity league in the country, is proud to announce that its weekly player of the week award will be sponsored by Warrior for the 2020 season.

The top player in each division every week of the regular season and postseason will earn the “Dominant Performance of the Week presented by Warrior.”

The honorees will receive either a Warrior Burn 2 (offense) or Burn 2 Max (defense) – a $90 value – for his efforts along with national recognition.

“Warrior is one of the seminal brands in the sport of lacrosse and we’re excited that they are sponsoring our weekly award in 2020,” said MCLA president Ken Lovic. “Receiving a Warrior head is a fantastic way to reward our top performances.”

In addition to the Dominant Performance of the Week presented by Warrior, there will be a Warrior Honor Roll to recognize other quality efforts in both divisions.

MCLA head coaches will submit their candidates every Monday morning, with the winners announced on Tuesday. Only head coaches can nominate players for the Dominant Performance of the Week presented by Warrior.

The awards will be presented weekly from late January through the 2020 MCLA National Championships sponsored by New Balance, which will be held from May 4-9 in Salt Lake City.

“Warrior is extremely proud and excited to partner with the MCLA and to reward numerous outstanding student-athletes in the spring,” said Warrior Lacrosse marketing manager Jared Hager. “With outstanding lacrosse programs in every corner of the country, partnering with the MCLA was a natural fit for Warrior and we look forward to supporting the hard-working, dedicated student-athletes who make the MCLA special.”
