Hardshells In The PLL - Week Five Recap

COLLEGE PARK, Md. - It was another eventful weekend in the PLL as the Pro Terps continued to impress in Fairfield, CT. 

The weekend kicked off with a Friday night where the Waterdogs topped the Whipsnakes 16-13 befre the Archers wrapped up the evening with a win over the Redwoods. Saturday's two games saw the Cannons come away with a 12-6 win over the Chrome on ESPN2 followed by a 15-11 win for the Chaos over the Atlas. 

The PLL will now head to Louisville, KY for the weekend for the All Star Weekend. The Terps have seven former players named All-Stars, two in the rising stars category (Logan Wisnauskas and Brett Makar) and five on the veterans team (Matt Rambo, Michael Ehrhardt, Matt Dunn, Kyle Bernlohr and Connor Kelly). The skills competition will take place on Saturday at 6 pm followed by the game at 7:30 pm on ESPN. 

Below is a full breakdown of all the Pro Terps' performances from the past weekend. 

Atlas

Newly named all-star Brett Makar continued to impress in his rookie season and finished in a tie for second on the team with four groundballs. 

Cannons 

Jonathan Donville continued to come up big, finishing with a trio of assists this weekend to help lead his team to victory. Bubba Fairman was big on the defensive side again as well, notching a CT and two groundballs. 

Chrome

Just as his brother and fellow assistant coach Jake did earlier in the weekend, defenseman Jesse Bernhardt tallied his first point of the season with an assist. Bernhardt also scooped two groundballs. Logan Wisnauskas also tallied an assist while his 2022 National Championship teammate SSDM Alex Smith tallied a groundball.

Anthony DeMaio continued to see action after his first career goal last week and took four shots against the Archers. 

Waterdogs 

Jake Higgins was impactful at SSDM yet again with a caused turnover. All-star Connor Kelly remained on the PUP list coming back from his time with the World Champions USA Team. 

Whipsnakes

The Whipterps continue to stand out in the PLL. This week, Mike Chanenchuk had another big offensive night with two goals while Keegan Khan also notched two points off a highlight-reel goal and an assist. Khan now has two points in each of his last two games. Matt Rambo tallied an assist while SSDM and Maryland assistant coach Jake Bernhardt recorded his first point of the season with an assist.

Bryce Young and Tim Muller held down the defense with a caused turnover apiece. Khan (2 GBs), Bernhardt (1 GB) and newly-acquired Matt Rahill (1 GB in his Whipsnakes debut) were also vital. Kyle Bernlohr notched five saves to only three goals allowed early before exiting with an apparent arm injury. Brian Phipps then made his season debut filling in for Bernlohr and made nine saves.
