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

1. Virginia hoped the extra year of eligibility afforded spring sport athletes would bring Dox Aitken back to the Cavaliers this year after playing football at Villanova in the fall. But Villanova’s postponement of the football season until the spring due to COVID-19 means that Aitken’s sole focus is now on making the most of pursuing his dream of playing college football.

2. The “Soul Patrol” helped fuel Hobart’s NCAA Division III dynasty in the 1980s. Brian Simkins looks back at the historic midfield trio of Malcom Anderson, Tiny Crawford and Skip Darden in our latest contribution from Blaxers Blog.

3. The recent rise in COVID-19 cases nationally, and related effects, has forced US Lacrosse to cancel the planned December tryout weekend for the U.S. women’s national team.

4. Ten years since its beginning, youth lacrosse is thriving in Mobile, Ala.

5. Uganda has become the first full member of World Lacrosse on the continent of Africa.
