Good morning. Here’s the latest around the lacrosse world:
1. All eyes were on World Lacrosse Super Sixes this weekend.
The exhibition event at USA Lacrosse featured the preeminent lacrosse-playing nations —Canada, the Haudenosaunee Confederacy and the United States — competing for the first time in the new World Lacrosse Sixes discipline.
Played at a frenetic pace, the 12 games (men and women) saw a combined 363 goals in 385 minutes of play. Records were identical on both sides, with the Canada and U.S. men and women each finishing 3-1. The Haudenosaunee were winless.
Saturday Results:
Canada 20, Haudenosaunee 13 (W)
Canada 17, Haudenosaunee 16 (OT) (M)
Canada 17, USA 14 (W)
USA 18, Canada 17 (M)

2. Two Western Connecticut State men’s lacrosse players died and a third was hospitalized after a car crash Friday in Colchester, Connecticut. Tyler Graham, 18, was pronounced dead at the scene. Jacob Chapman, 18, was pronounced dead at Marlborough Medical Center. The third passenger, Trey Massaro, 19, suffered serious injuries but is expected to recover, according to the Hartford Courant.
3. Chris Hogan has retired from football, ending a 10-year NFL career in which the former Penn State lacrosse player unabashedly showed his love for the sport with shoutouts on “Sunday Night Football” and during the Super Bowl. Hogan played in the Premier Lacrosse League this summer before getting signed by the New Orleans Saints.
