San Diego Seals News Release


The National Lacrosse League (NLL) today announced the finalists for its annual season-end awards, recognizing the top players, coaches, and executives from the 2024-25 NLL season and two Seals are among them with Wes Berg a finalist for Most Valuable Player honors and Zach Currier a finalist for Transition Player of the Year.

Berg had an outstanding season, scoring 49 goals, tied for second-most in the League, while Currier ranked third in the NLL in both loose balls secured (193) and caused turnovers (32).

Berg was especially clutch late in the season, scoring 20 goals over the final six games of the regular season, including the game-winner against Albany in the regular season finale that helped vault the Seals into the playoffs. And Currier showed his versatility, adding 18 goals and 29 assists to his already impressive totals.

Winners will be announced next week in the lead-up to Game 1 of the 2025 NLL Finals.

All 11 of the NLL's season awards are based on regular-season performances. Voting took place prior to the start of the 2025 NLL Playoffs, with media, coaches, and team personnel ranking their top five selections for each award.
