Former University of North Carolina men's lacrosse standout Chris Cloutier has been named the Major League Lacrosse Cascade Rookie of the Year for the 2018 season. Cloutier received the award on August 17 at the annual awards ceremony in Charleston, S.C.
Chris Cloutier was a handful the minute he stepped on the field for the Denver Outlaws, who last Saturday defeated Dallas 16-12 to win the 2018 MLL championship.
Fresh off the Chapel Hill campus, the former UNC national champion (2016) reminded the Tar Heel faithful not to forget him with six goals and two assists in his MLL debut against Charlotte on May 19.
Cloutier scored 26 goals and added 14 assists in six games before going down with a knee injury. The Outlaws record was 5-0 in his first five games and they were up 10-5 prior against Dallas prior to his injury in the third quarter of his sixth game before losing 13-12. Despite playing in only six of 15 Outlaws games this year he was the team's third-leading scorer with 40 points.
