Good morning. Here's the latest from the lacrosse world:
1. Fall ball is nearing an end.
As fall ball begins to wind down, Delaware hosted men’s and women’s playdays on Sunday. The Delaware men welcomed Hobart and UMBC to Newark while the women had a big group with Bucknell, Delaware State, Lafayette, Mount St. Mary’s, Old Dominion and UMBC on campus. We’ll have photo galleries coming from the two events.
2. The Atlas will have a new leader again.
Ben Rubeor announced he will be stepping down as the Atlas head coach and general manager in the Premier Lacrosse League. Rubeor, the second head coach in the four-year history of the franchise, will be replaced by Steven Brooks on an interim basis.
3. Getting competition from across the pond.
Dartmouth’s men’s lacrosse team is looking to take another step forward. Last week they welcomed Scotland’s national team to campus.
4. Now that’s a fundraiser.
If you’re going to put in some work to help raise money for your program, why not do it while the hometown team clinches a World Series berth. Fun day for the LaSalle women’s lacrosse program.
We had an amazing day fundraising at the Phillies game WHERE THEY CLINCHED THE WORLD SERIES!! Needless to say… We are all big Phillies fans now. It was definitely our warmup frisbee ring toss that helped bring home the W! #redoctober #fightins pic.twitter.com/leJW81lHF9
