The Redwoods offense has looked great in recent weeks, in large part due to the emergence of Cole Kirst and other midfielders, but I think they match up poorly against Archers. The Redwoods have been really inconsistent this season, winning games thanks to herculean efforts from goaltender Jack Kelly, or losing games despite outplaying opponents on both sides of the ball.

The Archers enter as 1.5-point favorites and the total ranges from 23.5 to 24.5, depending on the sportsbook. ![]() The Archers defeated the Redwoods 10-3 earlier this year, but both offenses have looked more potent in recent weeks.

The 2023 Premier Lacrosse League semifinals start with the No.1-seed Archers taking on the No.4-seed Redwoods in a rematch from earlier this season.
