Atlas offense seeks improvement after loss to Archers

Summary

New York Atlas coach Mike Pressler expressed frustration after his team managed only five goals in a loss to the Utah Archers last Friday, resulting in a 16-5 defeat. Pressler emphasized the need for players to adhere to game strategy rather than relying on individual efforts. The Atlas, currently 3-4, face the Boston Cannons, also 3-4, on Sunday, a match with significant playoff implications. The return of faceoff specialist Trevor Baptiste, who leads the league in faceoff win percentage, should aid the Atlas in their effort to rebound from the loss against Utah.
