Whipsnakes: M Tucker Dordevic

Few draft picks were more exciting than the Whipsnakes adding Georgetown star Tucker Dordevic. The former Syracuse playmaker dominated the Big East this season, and he’ll provide an immediate spark to a fairly dormant Whipsnakes midfield unit. 

Chrome is one of the toughest defensive teams in the league and boasts one of the best rope units in the league. This is a perfect test to see what Dordevic can do at the next level.

Chrome: Jackson Morrill (A)

Star attackman Brendan Nichtern won’t be available most of the year due to military commitments, and that means head coach Tim Soudan will need to find a new talisman on attack for Chrome.

Morrill played that quarterback role in his rookie season, and the former Denver and Yale playmaker will likely see minutes behind the cage again this year. If he can consistently create chances for Logan Wisnauskas and their other shooters, this could be a special season for Chrome.
