Midfield: Mike Chanenchuk, Whipsnakes

As the rest of the Whipsnakes midfield changes, Mike Chanenchuk stays the same. He led all midfielders in scoring in Week 1 with five points — three goals and two assists. His stretch shooting and secondary playmaking continue to be a vital part of the Whips offense.

Midfield: Justin Anderson, Chrome

Justin Anderson has become one of the most important players for Chrome, and he showed it again Sunday. He played more of an off-ball role, and he cashed in with four goals in the victory.

Midfield: Connor Kelly, Waterdogs

Connor Kelly didn’t dominate against a feisty Chaos defense, but he delivered when it mattered. Kelly bounced in a huge two-pointer in the third quarter, and he gritted his way to the cage and scored the game winner in overtime.
