Finalists and polls for Best Men’s Performance and Best Women’s Performance will be released today.

2. The IWLCA Presidents Cup, the annual girls’ lacrosse recruiting extravaganza held in conjunction with the IWLCA Convention, will once again feature an exhibition between the U.S. national team and a select team from the WPLL. The event is Nov. 22-24 in West Palm Beach, Fla. The USA-WPLL game is Nov. 23 at 3:30 p.m. at the International Polo Club. US Lacrosse announced the schedule and the U.S. team roster Friday.


3. The PLL is joining forces with the WPLL to participate in the World Crosse Exhibition later this month in Japan. The WPLL initiated this partnership last year, an experience captured by Pride midfielder Lauren Murray in this essay. Sixteen PLL players are headed overseas for the weeklong event, which also includes youth clinics. The PLL and WPLL select teams will compete against Japanese all-stars Nov. 16 at Urayasu Athletic Field, just 30 minutes outside of Tokyo.
