Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. The Black Lacrosse Alliance announced a partnership with Players Coalition, the human rights organization founded by NFL players Anquan Boldin and Malcolm Jenkins.

The Black Lacrosse Alliance, launched during the PLL’s Championship Series last month, joins five other professional leagues in partnering with Players Coalition.

“Through this partnership, we believe we can make impactful changes in the BIPOC community and improve racial inequality across the nation,” said Redwoods LC star  Jules Heningburg. “Ultimately, we hope these improvements, over time, can really generate more equal access to Lacrosse and allow BIPOC to flourish in everything the sport has to offer. ”
