With a trip to the Championship Game hanging in the balance, the Denver Outlaws and California Redwoods are set to clash in a high-stakes Premier Lacrosse League showdown.
The California Redwoods picked the perfect time to catch fire, snapping a four-game skid by rattling off three straight wins to end the regular season and then edging the Carolina Chaos 14-12 in last week’s Western Conference quarterfinal.
Denver, on the other hand, has been the model of consistency all summer, securing the league’s top record with a +18 goal differential—just ahead of fellow 7-3 finisher New York. That first-place finish gave the Outlaws a first-round bye, but with the league schedule also factoring in extra breaks, Denver won’t have taken the field in over three weeks by the time Monday’s semifinal rolls around.

Denver Outlaws vs California Redwoods Archers Key Players
Denver Outlaws Team News
Denver comes into Monday’s showdown well-rested — perhaps too well-rested. The Outlaws haven’t played a meaningful game since August 2, and while that break has left the roster healthy, it could leave them rusty in the opening minutes. Starting strong will be crucial, especially against a Redwoods side that thrives on momentum swings.
The last time these two met, Denver dropped 18 goals in a statement win, sparking a run that carried them to the top tier of the standings. Since then, they’ve averaged 13.6 goals per game and lost just once, showcasing a balanced attack. With Jared Bernhardt, Pat Kavanagh, and Brennan O’Neill each capable of running the offense on their own, Denver has struck a rare equilibrium, blending individual talent into a seamless unit.
At the heart of their success has been rookie goalie Logan McNaney, whose league-best save numbers and lightning-quick outlet passes have supercharged Denver's transition game. Supported by midfield engines Jake Piseno and Ryan Terefenko, as well as defensive stalwart Nick Grill, the Outlaws have made life miserable for opposing offenses.
Defensively, Denver has allowed just 11.3 goals per game, the third-best mark in the league. That group will be tested again by the Redwoods' dynamic rookies, but with Giles-Harris, Bernhardt, and Manley anchoring the backline, the Outlaws look well-equipped to absorb the challenge.
California Redwoods Team News
California shook off an early wobble last week and eventually found its rhythm, leaning on the young guns that have carried them all season. Andrew McAdorey had the breakout game of his career, firing in four goals, while Chris Kavanagh extended his hot streak with a third straight hat trick. The Redwoods’ ability to get the ball to their rookies when it matters has been their bread and butter — and it’ll need to be again on Monday.
The real challenge, though, lies in controlling the tempo. Denver has been one of the league’s best in transition since rookie goalie Logan McNaney stepped between the pipes in Week 3. His 58 percent clean save rate led the league, and his quick clears have fueled a dangerous fast-break offense. That means California can't afford wasteful shots, one poor look could quickly turn into two goals going the other way.
Offensively, the Redwoods have been consistent, averaging 12.6 scores per game, but this is a different Denver defense than the one they faced back in May. JT Giles-Harris will likely draw the assignment on Chris Kavanagh, while veterans Jesse Bernhardt and Mike Manley are set to handle the rest of California’s attack line. The midfield battle may prove decisive, with McAdorey’s dodging ability clashing against Denver’s deep defensive unit. A possible return for rookie Sam English could give California a much-needed two-way boost.
