National Lacrosse League Press Release
The National Lacrosse League has announced the Rookie of the Month award winner for February of the 2015 NLL regular season.
Minnesota Swarm forward Miles Thompson, who ranks first among all rookies in assists (18) and second in both points (31) and goals (13), earned the NLL Rookie of the Month award.
Thompson, the third-overall selection from the 2014 NLL Draft, led all first-year pros with 14 points (3+11) in February including a six-point performance (1+5) in Week 9 at Vancouver which matched his career high.
The University at Albany alum was the co-recipient of the 2014 Tewaaraton Award, college lacrosse’s equivalent to the Heisman Trophy, alongside his brother Lyle. The 24-year-old from the Onondaga Nation has become one of the most iconic names in lacrosse and was featured on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays earlier this season.
The NLL Monthly Player Awards are determined by a vote of the league’s general managers and head coaches.
