Tim Troutner led PLL in unassisted save percentage (64.1%) in his third season as a pro. If he can see it, he can save it.The only way to beat him is to move the ball to find catch-n-shoot chances -- which is easier said than done against the Woods’ defense.
Troutner showed off his offensive game with a behind-the-back goal in the 2021 All-Star Game. He’s able to create offense from within his crease with outlet passes.

Troutner tosses Hail Mary outlet passes to attackmen to create even better advantages than a traditional 4-on-3 fast break. Those 3-on-3s or 3-on-2s are rare in lacrosse.
