Rookie goalie Brian Phipps had a stellar performance on Saturday night by stopping 21 shots for the Bayhawks in front of a crowd of 8,410 at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. The win over Rochester halted a two-game losing streak for Chesapeake and earned Phipps the nomination of Major League Lacrosse’s (MLL) Defensive Player of the Week. The game was the second straight that Phipps had established a career-high for saves. The former University of Maryland standout had 17 saves the previous Saturday against Boston and then 21 saves against Rochester over the weekend. “Phipps was incredible on Saturday and his confidence in the cage has been unmatched this season” head coach Brendan Kelly said. “His ability to stop Rochester’s shots kept us ahead in the game the entire time and his performance was outstanding.”
