Good morning. Here's the latest from the lacrosse world:
1. The NLL transaction wire has remained busy ahead of next month’s draft, including USA box star Kieran McArdle being traded to the Albany FireWolves.
2. New Old Dominion head coach Theresa Walton says that the Monarchs will need to try some new things to get new results.
3. Tom Eschen, a studio host and play-by-play announcer for Lax Sports Network for the last four years, announced he’s leaving the network for a media position in Albany, N.Y. Best wishes to a great contributor to the sport.
Our colleague @TomEschenJr said goodbye to LSN last night on the #lacrosse Now podcast. He's on his way to a media outlet in #Albany. We will sincerely miss him and thank him for an incredible 4 years. Best of luck Tom! pic.twitter.com/qaNQBZ0hOi
