PLL Week 2: Atlas vs. Whipsnakes

Location: Charlotte, NC
Date: Saturday, June 10 at 3pm ET

Will Atlas finally beat the Whipsnakes (outside of the PLL Championship Series) this year? The first Saturday matchup in Charlotte is sure to be an exciting one, with the Whipsnakes potentially having a “home field” crowd given the club’s numerous Charlotte Hounds ties (looking at you, Hounds legion.) Yet, one of the biggest storylines will be how the Whipsnakes will fare without leading faceoff man Joe Nardella. Nardella and Atlas faceoff athlete Trevor Baptiste have had some big battles in the past, but the Whips will likely be rolling out either Bailey Savio or a rookie in this Week 2 matchup.

In addition to the faceoff clash, it will also be Justin Guterding’s first game against his former team. Will Gutty and the rest of this high-powered Atlas offense be able to get the job done against Kyle Bernlohr and Company? We’re not sure, but we’re excited to find out!

Other Week 2 Matchups:
Chrome vs. Archers – Friday, June 9 at 6pm ET
Waterdogs vs. Redwoods – Friday, June 9 at 8:30pm ET
Chaos vs. Cannons – Saturday, June 10 at 5:30pm ET
