Frisco, TX - Major League Lacrosse today announced Dallas Rattlers goalie Sean Sconone has been named the Warrior Defensive Player of the Week. The rookie earned the honor after stopping 20 out of 28 shots against the Denver Outlaws on Sunday, July 21.
Sconone posted a 71.43 save percentage against the league-leading Outlaws (6-2) to guide the Rattlers (1-7) to their first win of the season.
