No Latrell Harris for this semifinal game. That's a huge problem for the Archers, and it sucks for Latrell AKA Treezy. One of the games best and the SSDMs of the year winner will be missed.
Matt Moore returns for this playoff matchup against the Redwoods. So on one hand they lose one star and one star returns. Moore adds some extra bite to an Archers offense that has the jaw pressure of a Nile Crocodile. Will it be enough for the Archers to finally reach the PLL Championship?
Ryan Aughavin drops in to roster this weekend while Tre Leclaire, and Challen Rodgers along with Aughavin will help fill the gap left by Treezy.
No roster changes for the Cannons who had a dominate win in the Quaterfinals against the Atlas.
The Cannons continue to win games, this week they face another team in the Waterdogs who will not dress a traditional faceoff athlete. I have no idea how this will work, but the last time this matchup happened I saw it in person at Homewood Field in Batlimore and the Cannons came out victorious.
Can Coach Holman take his team from last place in 2022 to the Championship game in 2023? I wouldn't bet against the Cannons.
The 'Woods are still rollin'. No changes from their victory over the Chaos and they move to the semifinal game for the first time since 2020 in the PLL Bubble.
No Nakeie, he's still out with that rib injury, so Coach Nat goes with the three long poles again. Owen Grant showed the lacrosse world why the 'Woods drafted him 2nd overall.
Jack Kelly is on the injury report and had some quad issues and was pulled early to let him rest last weekend. Hopefully he continues his EXECLLENT play against the Archers.
The Redwoods have been held to a legal low 3 goals twice, one of those games was against the Archers this season. I hope that doesn't happen again in this matchup.
The defending champions make one change this week, Jake Carraway drops in and rookie Thomas McConvey drops out.
The Waterdogs had the closet game from the quaterfinals with a three goal victory over the Whipsnakes.
Will the Waterdogs make it back to the championship game? They have a tough opponent to beat to reach the final PLL game.
'USED TO PLAY FOR'
ARCHERS VS REDWOODS
No former players between the Archers and Redwoods, but there is some bad blood between the two teams. In 2019, Garrett Epple knocked Tom Schreiber out of the game and the Redwoods knocked the Archers out of the playoffs. In 2022 the Archers got some revenge and defeated the Redwoods.
CANNONS VS WATERDOGS
Ryan Drenner is the lone player this weekend facing his former team. Andy Copelan drafted Drenner in the expansion draft after the 2019 season. Drenner played in the 2020 bubble for the men in purple he put up 4 points in five games. Drenner is always consistent and I expect nothing less this weekend against the Waterdogs.
