Florida Launch News Release


After battling all season long, Florida Launch's top defender and captain Tucker Durkin is recognized as the Warrior Defensive Player of the Week in the final week of regular season. Durkin and his defensive line held playoff-bound Rochester Rattlers to only 11 goals in the Launch's 18-11 win on Saturday night.

In the final win of the season for the Launch, Durkin shut down Rochester's leading scorer Jordan Wolfe. Wolfe, who has been averging 2.7 goals per game, was held to only one goal in this game. This hasn't been the only game Durkin has shut down teams' top scorers but because of his performance the Launch were able to notch a win in their final performance.

Durkin finishes his third MLL season logging time in every game this season for the Launch and tallying three points off two goals and one assist.
