Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Yesterday was #PLLDay, honoring the two-year anniversary of the league.
The Premier Lacrosse League was in full social swing, engaging with fans and sharing stories, graphics and videos about the league’s inception. Ever since the PLL was announced on October 22, 2018, the league has excelled in fan engagement.
Check out a few highlights below from the day’s celebration.
We recapped the last 2 years in 400 seconds.
