Welcome to #BestOfLax. Help us celebrate the past year of lacrosse by voting in 15 polls spread over the course of December. All voting will be conducted on Twitter (@usalacrossemag), and fans will have 24 hours to let their voices be heard.

For more information — including upcoming categories, rules and more — check out our introductory post to #BestOfLax.

Sometimes there are plays that live on well past the game in which they occurred. Viral lacrosse highlights are the types of plays that make you stop scrolling. You can watch them once, twice, three times and still not get enough. Three times is probably underselling it, too.

The candidates for Best Highlight are the usual suspects — the players we have come to expect to produce jaw-dropping plays on a weekly basis.

Here are the nominees for Best Highlight.

BEST HIGHLIGHT

For the players prone to go viral. The highlights that made you stop scrolling.

CHARLOTTE NORTH

We seriously had to resist giving North her own highlight category. A human highlight reel, North can get on SportsCenter every single week. This goal, in our opinion, was by far her best — and it didn't happen in a BC uniform.

TIM TROUTNER

Troutner absolutely stole the show in the PLL All-Star Game, making 24 saves. But it was this behind-the-back goal — yes, you read that right — that really sealed the deal for his MVP performance.

NICOLE LEVY

Did the lacrosse world kinda forget about Levy until Athletes Unlimited? If so, everyone remembers the name now. She was incredibly fun to watch this summer, with this fake tweener, BTB finish representing the best of her many highlights.

PAT KAVANAGH

Kavanagh had us running out of caption ideas last spring. We still have no idea how to adequately describe this one.
