Good morning. Here's the latest from the lacrosse world:
1. Can Notre Dame keep its momentum going?
After starting the season 1-4, Notre Dame’s women’s lacrosse team finished by winning four of its final five regular season games with the one loss coming by a single goal to eventual national champion North Carolina in the ACC semifinals. What’s in store for the Irish in 2023?
2. It’s a brotherhood.
From the September/October issue of USA Lacrosse Magazine, our Kenny DeJohn went behind the scenes with the U.S. men’s U21 team and the brotherhood that led them to a world championship.
Two weeks ago, the daps turned into gold-medal hugs.
