5. Philadelphia Waterdogs

Current report: 4-4
Previous rating: 3

Although Philly pressured OT in opposition to the Chaos, the Waterdogs had been outplayed for an excellent portion of the sport, and so they appear out of rhythm.

Outside of Sowers, they don’t seem to be passing nicely. A goalie change at halftime after Matt DeLuca had 9 saves will increase questions as to who their goalie will likely be down the stretch. First total decide CJ Kirst scored his first skilled aim, however they’ve misplaced two straight since he joined the lineup.

6. Maryland Whipsnakes

Previous rating: 4

There is a critical youth motion on offense with the Whipsnakes. The situation is consistency.

Joe Nardella was good in opposition to Trevor Baptiste, successful 71% on the stripe, however the offense did not convert on the additional possessions. The finest protection within the league statistically offers the younger offense help, and hope for a run, although playoff odds are slipping and are presently at 57%.

8. Utah Archers

Previous rating: 5

Salt Lax City introduced the juice, with sold-out crowds and a tremendous fan base. However, Utah’s homecoming did not deal with the Archers nicely within the win division, shedding to California and Denver in back-to-back video games.

The Archers misplaced two of their stars in Tom Schrieber and Grant Ament within the Friday loss to the Redwoods. Their standing transferring ahead is unsure. The league’s worst offense retains taking the hits.

Rookie Sam King stays a vibrant spot, scoring three targets in opposition to Denver, and goalie Brett Dobson was good in each losses. At 3-5, the Archers’ playoff chances are high evaporating.
