The Archers LC goalie situation was supposed to be a timeshare after training camp. Adam Ghitelman and Drew Adams would each have two starts before head coach Chris Bates made a decision.

Ghitelman made Bates’ decision easy, saving 82% of shots on opening weekend against Atlas and 88% the following weekend against Chaos. He dominated all summer, posting a career-high 62% save percentage.

A literal coach on the field, Ghitelman studies the game and supplies his defensemen with detailed scouting reports. They have a premeditated plan for every opponent in transition: Slide or hold. They held opponents to a league-low 24.6% shooting on fast breaks.
