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

1. The U.S. senior women’s team roster for Spring Premiere was announced Wednesday. 

It features 11 World Cup champions, including Tewaaraton winners Taylor Cummings, Katie Haus and Sam Apuzzo and two players returning to the U.S. fold in 2015 U.S. under-19 silver medalist Kerrigan Miller and 2013 U.S. gold medalist Katrina Dowd.

2. Tom Schreiber will be back for more, signing a two-year contract with the Toronto Rock on Wednesday.

“He’s not a newbie anymore,” Rock owner, president and GM Jamie Dawick said. “There’s no reason to believe Tom won’t be better in year three. I’m confident that Tom will be in the MVP conversation at the end of the season. We have high expectations, not only for Tom but also for the team and this coming season.”

3. The Saskatchewan Rush is projected to lead the NLL West Division in the 2018-19 season, as previewed by Jack Goods prior to the CBA agreement. 

Meanwhile, league newcomer San Diego Seals may not finish in last place thanks to first overall pick Austin Staats.
