Duke Trio Set for PLL Championship Series
2/11/2025 3:47:00 PM | Men's Lacrosse
DURHAM, N.C.—A trio of former Blue Devils will suit up for the 2025 PLL Championship Series set to begin Tuesday evening at The St. James in Springfield, Virginia. Tyler Carpenter, Myles Jones and Brad Smith will represent Duke at the seven-day event.
Carpenter and Jones will suit up for New York Atlas while Smith will don a Maryland Whipsnakes jersey. The Duke trio will face each other in the opening game, Feb. 11 at 9 p.m., on ESPN+.
The Championship Series will feature the Sixes version of lacrosse. Sixes is a fast-paced version 6v6 lacrosse that features a 30-second shot clock and no specialists, just runners and goalies. There are only faceoffs at the beginning of each quarter.
It will be Smith's first lacrosse game in over 500 days. His last PLL game was September 5, 2023 as he moved to the injured reserve list Feb. 21, 2024.
Carpenter is coming off an outstanding rookie PLL season, being named the Brodie Merrill Long Stick Midfielder of the Year.
Jones, a nine-year veteran in professional lacrosse, Jones had one of his best seasons in years with 18 points for the NY Atlas. The 18 points are second among Atlas midfielders and tied for fifth among all PLL middies. He was voted a 2024 PLL All-Star for his efforts.
Coming off a 10-point season a year ago, Jones had eight goals, a pair of two-pointers and six assists. He scored at least one goal in seven of his 10 games.
