A Familiar Foe

It’s deja vu all over again. Taylor Moreno and Sam Apuzzo will enter Week Four of the 2023 season the same way they did in 2022: No. 1 and No. 2 on the leaderboard.

Last week, we took a look at how the two compare across the point categories. Here’s how things are shaping up after Week Three.

• Win Points
  • Moreno: 545 Points | Apuzzo: 755 Points
• Stat Points
  • Moreno: 621 Points | Apuzzo: 246 Points
• MVP Points
  • Moreno: 135 Points | Apuzzo: 240 Points

Moreno’s lead in the stat point category has grown to 375 points, but Apuzzo has increased the gap in win points to 210. 

Overall, Apuzzo has cut the deficit to 60 points heading into Week Three and with a race this close, Sunday’s finale is one you don’t want to miss.

Tune in

Champions Week of Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse begins on Thursday, Aug. 10 at 5 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. CT on ESPN+ as Team Glynn takes on Team Apuzzo.
