Lax Factor Lacrosse PodcastWhipsnakes & Chaos Advance To The Premier Lacrosse League Finals (LaxFactor Podcast #112)The Chaos were potentially the worst team in the Premier Lacrosse Leagues Championship Series over group play, but after winning in the quarters, and then dropping the Archers in the semi's, they have a good shot of going from worst to first if they can beat the Whipsnakes in the second PLL Championship.
The Whipsnakes also pulled out a win in their semifinal game against the Redwoods, and it took overtime.

My view, you talk trash in the manner Gaudet was talking trash and you risk getting popped. That's what happened, nothing more. Sometimes if you put a bad attitude out into the world, you get a bad attitude back. I'm not saying that Epple was justified in his actions. I'm just saying I'm not surprised. This is how male interactions have gone for 100,000 years and this is how we'll continue for another 100,000 years.

We saw Grant Ament score 3 goals with a dish in his first PLL outing.

The biggest name to enter the transfer portal beyond Sowers is Yale's Jackson Morrill. A four-year starter with 220 points over his career, Morrill will be a big get for some lucky team.
Teammate Lucas Cotler also entered the portal and is probably the highest rated midfielder. Kyle Gallagher (Fogo, Penn), Mike Adler (Goalie, St. Josephs) and Jack Rapine (Defense, Hopkins) are all in the portal as well amongst a bunch of other very recognizable names, many out of the Ivy.
