The MASL announced Monday the winners of their end-of-year awards for the regular season, and the St. Louis Ambush were well represented.

Ambush head coach Jeff Locker was named Coach of the Year after leading the team to a 13-5-6 record, fourth place in the standings, and a trip to the playoffs, where they went to the semifinals before being eliminated by San Diego. In his five seasons as head coach of St. Louis, they’ve made the postseason three times.

Goalie Paulo Nascimento garnered two awards in his own right. He won Goalkeeper of the Year award and was named to the MASL Elite Six. The 2025-26 season is Paulo’s seventh with the Ambush and in the MASL and it was arguably his best campaign yet. Nascimento led the league in most goalkeeper statistical categories for most of the season and finished second in goals against average (4.53), save percentage (.769), saves (250) and tied for third in wins (11).

Paulo also led the league in minutes played (1299:34).

Meanwhile, Daniel Torrealba also was named to the MASL Second Team. Torrealba appeared in all 24 regular season games, leading the team in goals (23), assists (13), points (36) points per game average (1.5), and game-winning goals (three).

Defender Robert Williamson was also named to the MASL Second Team. The crafty veteran led the team in blocked shots (49) and also helped the offense with five goals and five assists.

Overall, it was a successful season for the Ambush, even though they came up short in the playoffs.
