"Veteran attack Kieran McArdle has a knack for coming through in critical spots; since 2022, McArdle has more points in clutch situations (24) than anyone else. He scored two such goals in the quarterfinals, putting Philly ahead 13-12, then adding the insurance goal to make it 14-12 in the final minute. With four points in the semifinal, McArdle (520 points) will move ahead of Casey Powell (523) into fifth place in PLL scoring all time."
"Not to be outdone, the Atlas also have a ridiculous trio on attack: Connor Shellenberger led the league with 46 points this season, and Jeff Teat (the 2024 MVP) finished third, with 40. The third member of the trio, Xander Dickson, finished fifth in total goals, with 22. Dickson also set a single-season record for groundballs by an attackman in the 2025 campaign."
The 2025 Premier Lacrosse League semifinals take place at Subaru Park outside Philadelphia with two matchups: Waterdogs vs New York Atlas and Redwoods vs Outlaws. Philadelphia lists LSM Marcus Hudgins as questionable (right wrist), attack Zed Williams out, and defender Liam Byrnes out; the Atlas report no injuries. Kieran McArdle has been crucial in clutch moments and can climb the PLL all-time scoring list with a strong semifinal. The Atlas counter with top scorers Connor Shellenberger, Jeff Teat and Xander Dickson, who set a single-season groundball record for an attackman and formed a potent passer-shooter duo.
