The Riptide Report: PLL Week 7

As we excitedly await for the start of the second half of the PLL season, Riptide 2020 first overall pick Jeff Teat, got off to a fantastic start to the outdoor season.

This start awarded him a spot in the PLL’s All-Star Game on July 18. There, he recorded one point with a goal for the CrowdStrike Adversaries against the Crownstrike Defenders. That goal contributed to a 23-21 win at PayPal Park in San Jose, CA. Teat also participated in the All-Stars Skills Competition in the accuracy shooting contest.

The Ontario native has played in only three games, but Teat has a total of 14 points, nine goals, and five assists for Atlas LC.

The game that caught everyone’s eye was Teat’s professional debut in week three, when the star finished with nine points: seven goals on 11 shots and two assists in a 18-17 win against Cannons LC.
