The two-time MLL All-Star edged out Rob Scherr and Brian Dougherty (who had won the award each of the previous two seasons) to receive his first professional Goalkeeper of the Year selection. Jarboe, a two-time All-American goalie during his collegiate career at the U.S. Naval Academy, was also recognized as the nation’s top goalkeeper after the 1999 and 2000 seasons.
As the last line of defense, Jarboe was a steady fixture for Los Angeles throughout the course of the season. The 5’10 165 lb goaltender played in all 12 games for the Riptide and led the MLL with a 12.75 goals against average. Jarboe helped lead Los Angeles back to Championship Weekend for the second straight year thanks to a 7-5 regular season record. While stopping 53.2 percent of the shots he faced, Jarboe collected Goalkeeper of the Week honors on two occasions during the Riptides 2008 campaign.
