Kyle Bernlohr never got to hoist a championship trophy with his teammates at Maryland, but he added some hardware to his mantle this weekend.
On Saturday, the Ohio Machine beat the Denver Outlaws for the 2017 Major League Lacrosse Championship with Bernlohr as the starting goalie. The former Maryland standout faced 23 shots on goal, allowing just 12 scores and making 11 saves.
In his second year with the Machine, Bernlohr led the entire league with a .567 save percentage, and earned the MLL’s Most Improved Player Award. This shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that watched the Akron native in college; he finished 10th on Maryland’s all-time saves list with 369 stops.
