PLL Power Rankings at the All-Star break: Who's the new No. 1?

In the PLL, the worst squad successful the league tin bushed the champion team. There are nary escaped squares, and each week matters.

Half the league's teams are present 3-2 and the different fractional are 2-3. That's compelling!

The squad vs. squad play is disconnected for the play arsenic the PLL descends connected Kansas City for All-Star Weekend (which you tin ticker connected the networks of ESPN).

Here's however things basal heading into the break:

1. Denver Outlaws

Current record: 3-2
Week 5 ranking: 2

This week the Outlaws blew unfastened a 11-10 nail biter into an 18-12 winning borderline with a 7-2 tally fortified by the Tewaaraton Award quartet. California was feta successful the last 4th -- they crumbled. Pat Kavanagh, Logan Wisnauskas, Brennan O'Neil and Jared Bernhardt enactment their stamp connected a 3rd consecutive win. Kavanagh has been terrific, and leads the league successful touches (224).

With Goalie Logan McNaney (63%) and erstwhile NFL wide receiver Jared Bernhardt successful the lineup the past 3 games, the boys of summertime enactment perfect. Logan the lefty is showcasing cleanable saves and rainbow outlets. Bernhardt has a turbo cogwheel that smokes screen men and leaves a way of dust.

SSDM Ryan Terefenko, has been a Tasmanian devil, moving successful modulation and pinning hostile violative unit connected the field. Coach Tim Soudan's "Hippo" discourtesy has benefited shot movement. The seasoned antiaircraft trio of Mike Manley, Jesse Bernhardt and J.T. Giles-Harris are drinking from the fountain of youth. I'm drinking the Outlaw Kool-Aid.

2. New York Atlas

Current record: 3-2
Week 5 ranking: 3

A triumph successful Week 5 makes it 2 successful a enactment for the Atlas anterior to the All-Star break. Coach Mike Pressler got clutch contributions from rookie Matt Traynor successful an 11-8 triumph implicit Utah. New York's defence held Utah scoreless successful the 4th fourth aft being down 4-1 early.

Winning a antiaircraft stone combat is simply a measurement successful the close absorption for the usually free-flowing Atlas. New York is simply a legit rubric contender. Face-off antheral Trevor Baptiste is presently winning them astatine a 65% rate.

3. Philadelphia Waterdogs

Current record: 3-2
Week 5 ranking: 5

The Waterdogs pulled distant late, taking a 9-9 crippled and locking down the Woods 12-9. Enigmatic Philly midfielder Jack Hannah scored doubly successful the last 4th and Michael Sowers was dealing aces each night. At the All-Star break, the lightning bug Sowers would get my MVP vote, and leads the league with 24 points.

After surrendering 3 deuces successful the archetypal half, Waterdog goalie Dillon Ward was a ceramic partition against long- and mid-range shots.

Coach Bill Tierney and the Waterdogs whitethorn person superstar CJ Kirst successful the lineup successful Chicago. Adding the No. 1 wide prime gives the purple haze bully vibrations.

4. Boston Cannons

Current record: 3-2
Week 5 ranking: 1

Boston was victimized by the two-point changeable and antiaircraft lapses successful Week 5 against Carolina. But giving up 14 goals to the Chaos is perplexing.

The Cannons are good, conscionable not large ... close now. What they'll retrieve is September.

5. Utah Archers

Current record: 2-3
Week 5 ranking: 4

Archers discourtesy sold separately successful 2025, arsenic the two-time champs took different nonaccomplishment against New York. It seems similar cipher tin consistently triumph a matchup. Grant Ament was the astir impactful shot carrier, and Connor Fields recovered the nett 3 times.

Utah's defence is elite but the laundry database of areas to amended include: two-point production, unassisted shooting percentage, face-off percentage, power-play scoring rate, and modulation offense.

Utah needs to drawback a question and schematically re-invent themselves. It feels similar Utah, winners of the past 2 championships, are a measurement down the apical tier close now.

6. Maryland Whipsnakes

Current record: 2-3
Week 5 ranking: 7

Maryland had their bye past week, and look Denver connected July 12 successful Chicago. T.J. Malone has 21 points and rookie Aidan Carroll has 12 goals.

Current record: 2-3
Week 5 ranking: 8

Carolina stunned Boston with an improbable two-goal victory. Carolina goalie Blaze Riorden finished with 21 saves. Playing with a jagged digit that looks similar the missive Z, Big Blaze was successful takeover mode, stuffing Marcus Holman from point-blank scope with the crippled connected the line.

Defender Troy Reh was progressive disconnected the carpet. Defensive midfielders Ray Dearth and Greg Langermeier took steps forward, and it was Dearth's two-point rocket connected a accelerated interruption that sealed the 14-12 victory.

Owen Hiltz, Sergio Perkovic and Ross Scott were giving Chaos fans bully vibes successful Week 5.

Week 5 ranking: 6

California was valiant successful decision successful beforehand of a packed location successful San Diego. They couldn't decorativeness against Denver erstwhile a 11-10 shortage swelled into an 18-12 decision connected Friday. Saturday's 12-9 nonaccomplishment to Philly featured a 13:00 infinitesimal scoring drought to extremity the game.

Their champion players successful San Diego were rookies Andrew McAdorey and Sam English. McAdorey (Duke alum) plays astatine hyper velocity and English (Syracuse) is omnipresent, a contributor astatine some ends.

Long-range shooter Romar Dennis buried a brace of two-point shots. Attackman Dylan Molloy showcased his ain mentation of bully ball.

The Woods needed a Snickers successful their 2nd crippled of the weekend, looking similar avocado toast arsenic the prima set. California dreaming became a nightmare (0-2 connected the weekend), meaning that manager Anthony Kelly volition tinker with his midfield unit going forward. GM "Trader Joe" Spallina won't beryllium inactive either.
