2068 Best Defender Award Trophies Given out by ULW
What does it take to win a Best Defender Award? It's a combination of good hands, knowing how to play the hitters, all-out hustle and a willingness to sacrifice your body to make a play. Good speed and a good arm never hurt either, but not always required. This year's all-defense team in the West consists of:
