Good morning. Here's the latest from the lacrosse world:

1. World Champs!

The U.S. women’s team made history, becoming the first team to win the World Lacrosse Women’s championship on home soil, defeating Canada 11-8 on Saturday in Towson, Md.

2. They’re not done.

Veterans helped paved the way to a fourth straight championship for the U.S., but with young stars like Sam Apuzzo, Ally Mastroianni and Charlotte North stepping into a big role, the future is bright.

3. The U.S. men’s Sixes squad is also in the medal hunt.

After sweeping through it’s pool with a 3-0 record, the U.S. men’s Sixes team plays Japan in the semifinals of The World Games in Birmingham, Ala., today. A victory over Australia on Sunday showed the defensive prowess of the USA squad. How about the hang time on this goal by Colin Heacock on Saturday against Great Britain.
