Haugen, Alex Kahoe, Phyllis Kilgour, David Morrow, Ryan Powell, Denise Wescott and Tami Worley. There was plenty of love being shared by the lacrosse community.

2. Speaking of Hall of Famers, Skip Lichtfuss, a 1993 inductee into the Hall, was named by US Lacrosse as the director of national teams and high performance.

3. Eighteen years in the making, James Madison is back in the final four, and facing a familiar foe.
