The spotlight was on the goalkeepers at the National Keeper Wars Finals in Florida and 2014 Rough Rider standout Maya Melkonian made sure her moment counted. Competing against some of the best young keepers from across the country, Maya delivered an outstanding performance to secure 2nd place in the high-energy event.
