Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. Ally Mastroianni never gives up.

She played through a devastating injury as a freshman at UNC that required serious — and experimental — surgery. She then had to learn to walk again. Now, she’s playing at her peak with the Tar Heels and as a member as the U.S. women’s training team.

Matt Hamilton spoke with Mastroianni about her story. You can read the feature here.

2. Vote for the Best Milestone of 2021 in #BestOfLax.

Best of Lax is nearing its conclusion, with three more categories to go before we sign off on this year of lacrosse. Later today, you’ll vote for Best Inspiration. For now, make sure you cast your vote to determine the Best Milestone of the year — a year that saw multiple high profile records get broken.

More here.

3. Grant Ament is No. 4 in the PLL Top 50, as voted on by the players.

Ament, the Attackman of the Year, is a playmaker and a game-changer.

Only three remain for the No. 1 spot in the PLL Top 50. Will it be Tom Schreiber, Lyle Thompson or Blaze Riorden?
