PLL Energy Rankings on the All-Star break: A brand new No. 1

Within the PLL, the worst crew within the league can beat the very best crew. There aren’t any free squares, and each week issues.

Half the league’s groups at the moment are 3-2 and the opposite half are 2-3. That is compelling!

The crew vs. crew play is off for the weekend because the PLL descends on Kansas Metropolis for All-Star Weekend (which you’ll watch on the networks of ESPN).

This is how issues stand heading into the break:

1. Denver Outlaws

Present document: 3-2
Week 5 rating: 2

This week the Outlaws blew open a 11-10 nail biter into an 18-12 successful margin with a 7-2 run fortified by the Tewaaraton Award quartet. California was feta within the last quarter — they crumbled. Pat Kavanagh, Logan Wisnauskas, Brennan O’Neil and Jared Bernhardt put their stamp on a 3rd consecutive win. Kavanagh has been terrific, and leads the league in touches (224).

With Goalie Logan McNaney (63%) and former NFL extensive receiver Jared Bernhardt within the lineup the previous three video games, the boys of summer time keep excellent. Logan the lefty is showcasing clear saves and rainbow shops. Bernhardt has a turbo gear that smokes cowl males and leaves a path of mud.

SSDM Ryan Terefenko, has been a Tasmanian satan, operating in transition and pinning opponent offensive personnel on the sphere. Coach Tim Soudan’s “Hippo” offense has benefited ball motion. The seasoned defensive trio of Mike Manley, Jesse Bernhardt and J.T. Giles-Harris are ingesting from the fountain of youth. I am ingesting the Outlaw Kool-Assist.

2. New York Atlas

Present document: 3-2
Week 5 rating: 3

A win in Week 5 makes it two in a row for the Atlas previous to the All-Star break. Coach Mike Pressler obtained clutch contributions from rookie Matt Traynor in an 11-8 win over Utah. New York’s protection held Utah scoreless within the fourth quarter after being down 4-1 early.

Successful a defensive rock battle is a step in the correct path for the usually free-flowing Atlas. New York is a legit title contender. Face-off man Trevor Baptiste is at the moment successful them at a 65% charge.

3. Philadelphia Waterdogs

Present document: 3-2
Week 5 rating: 5

The Waterdogs pulled away late, taking a 9-9 recreation and locking down the Woods 12-9. Enigmatic Philly midfielder Jack Hannah scored twice within the last quarter and Michael Sowers was dealing aces all night time. On the All-Star break, the lightning bug Sowers would get my MVP vote, and leads the league with 24 factors.

After surrendering three deuces within the first half, Waterdog goalie Dillon Ward was a brick wall towards long- and mid-range photographs.

Coach Invoice Tierney and the Waterdogs could have famous person CJ Kirst within the lineup in Chicago. Including the No. 1 general choose offers the purple haze good vibrations.

4. Boston Cannons

Present document: 3-2
Week 5 rating: 1

Boston was victimized by the two-point shot and defensive lapses in Week 5 towards Carolina. However giving up 14 objectives to the Chaos is perplexing.

The Cannons are good, simply not nice … proper now. What they’re going to bear in mind is September.

5. Utah Archers

Present document: 2-3
Week 5 rating: 4

Archers offense bought individually in 2025, because the two-time champs took one other loss towards New York. It looks as if no one can constantly win a matchup. Grant Ament was essentially the most impactful ball provider, and Connor Fields discovered the web 3 times.

Utah’s protection is elite however the laundry checklist of areas to enhance embrace: two-point manufacturing, unassisted taking pictures share, face-off share, power-play scoring charge, and transition offense.

Utah must catch a wave and schematically re-invent themselves. It appears like Utah, winners of the previous two championships, are a step behind the highest tier proper now.

6. Maryland Whipsnakes

Present document: 2-3
Week 5 rating: 7

Maryland had their bye final week, and face Denver on July 12 in Chicago. T.J. Malone has 21 factors and rookie Aidan Carroll has 12 objectives.

Will probably be attention-grabbing to see what this crew can deliver after the prolonged time without work.

7. Carolina Chaos

Present document: 2-3
Week 5 rating: 8

Carolina surprised Boston with an inconceivable two-goal victory. Carolina goalie Blaze Riorden completed with 21 saves. Taking part in with a jagged finger that appears just like the letter Z, Huge Blaze was in takeover mode, stuffing Marcus Holman from point-blank vary with the sport on the road.

Defender Troy Reh was energetic off the carpet. Defensive midfielders Ray Dearth and Greg Langermeier took steps ahead, and it was Dearth’s two-point missile on a quick break that sealed the 14-12 victory.

Owen Hiltz, Sergio Perkovic and Ross Scott had been giving Chaos followers good vibes in Week 5.

8. California Redwoods

Present document: 2-3
Week 5 rating: 6

California was valiant in defeat in entrance of a packed home in San Diego. They could not end towards Denver when a 11-10 deficit swelled into an 18-12 defeat on Friday. Saturday’s 12-9 loss to Philly featured a 13:00 minute scoring drought to finish the sport.

Their greatest gamers in San Diego had been rookies Andrew McAdorey and Sam English. McAdorey (Duke alum) performs at hyper pace and English (Syracuse) is omnipresent, a contributor at each ends.

Lengthy-range shooter Romar Dennis buried a pair of two-point photographs. Attackman Dylan Molloy showcased his personal model of bully ball.

The Woods wanted a Snickers of their second recreation of the weekend, wanting like avocado toast because the solar set. California dreaming grew to become a nightmare (0-2 on the weekend), which means that coach Anthony Kelly will tinker together with his midfield personnel going ahead. GM “Dealer Joe” Spallina will not sit nonetheless both.
