Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Eight lacrosse legends joined the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame on Saturday night.
The Class of 2020 included legendary high school coaches Rob Bordley and Lisa Griswold Lindley, college lacrosse icons Laura Harmon Schuman, Joe Seivold and Amy Appelt Slade and trailblazing officials Roy Condon and Ericka Leslie. Recently retired Syracuse coach John Desko, a five-time NCAA champion, chose not to attend the ceremony in Hunt Valley, Maryland, but was inducted virtually.
The ceremony was delayed a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Former Rutgers lacrosse player Steve Belichick, son of New England Patriots coach and proud lacrosse patron Bill Belichick, went viral for his facial expressions on the Patriots sideline during their Sunday Night Football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The younger Belichick is the Patriots’ outside linebackers coach.

College lacrosse fall ball meets “SportsCenter.” Lehigh’s Olivia Memeger scored between her legs with her back to the goal in during a scrimmage against Marist. The highlight made the SC Top 10 segment of ESPN’s flagship program.
How about this goal from Olivia Memeger in our fall ball opener today vs. Marist?! #SCTop10 | @ESPNAssignDesk | @ILWomen | @USALacrosseMag | @espnW pic.twitter.com/jAu3INMzXO
