Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Tributes from the sports community honoring the victims from the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 20 years ago dominated social media this weekend. USA Lacrosse recognized the 75 known individuals connected to the lacrosse community.
Capping off a week of coverage of some of these individuals, we shared some more of their stories over the weekend.

Former Penn and current Maryland player Abby Bosco, whose father, Richard, died that day
The Virginia men’s lacrosse team was among the teams running steps to remember the victims and to honor first responders and military members.
Today our team ran 2,226 steps at Lambeth Field in memory of the innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001. We offer our gratitude to our nation’s service members who bravely defend us each and every day.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
One-time Notre Dame lacrosse commit Jack Coan led the Irish football team to a second straight late-game rally. Even more impressive, Coan shook off an injured finger on the game-winning drive just before his winning touchdown pass against Toledo.
The most impressive part of that TD throw by Jack Coan was that he had a dislocated finger casually popped right back into place just before the play.
