Published on August 17, 2010 under Major League Lacrosse (MLL) News Release

Major League Lacrosse (MLL), the premier professional outdoor lacrosse league, announced Tuesday that Boston Cannons' attackman Matt Poskay has been selected as the 2010 Warrior Offensive Player of the Year, according to MLL Commissioner David Gross. The award was based on the votes submitted by the head coaches and general manager of each of the League's six teams.

Poskay, a 2006 graduate of the University of Virginia, enjoyed the finest season of his MLL career in 2010. After moving from midfield to attack at the start of the season Poskay scored a league leading 45 goals in 12 games. The 45 goals were 20 more than Long Island's Matt Danowski who finished second in the MLL with 25. Poskay also led the league with 52 points.

Picked by the Boston Cannons with the 12th pick in the 2006 collegiate draft, Poskay has scored a team record 140 goals in 51 career games. His 45 goals this season were a single season team record.

Poskay scored 4 or more goals in a game 7 times this season including 6 in a win over Long Island on June 26th. He was named the Bud Light Game MVP twice during the season and took home MLL Offensive Player of the Week honors following week one when he scored 4 goals in a Cannons' win over Denver.

Poskay becomes the second member of the Cannons to win the award, following Paul Rabil who was the winner last season.
