From now through the holidays, you get to exercise your fundamental right to vote for the best moments, players and more from what has been a monumental year for the game. You have a few hours left to vote for the best moment. Read the stories behind the nominees here.
2. Your Holiday wishlist has arrived.
We made a list and checked it twice. Consider this your guide to the best gear, tech and training to gift the lacrosse player in your life — or yourself.
3. U.S. Men’s national team ready to fly south.

Julia Dorsey, a defender on both the UNC women’s lacrosse and soccer teams, played in her second national title game of 2022 last night. Dorsey, who won an NCAA championship in lacrosse in the spring and scored the eventual game-winner for the soccer team in a semifinal win over Florida State on Friday, registered one shot on goal against UCLA. But the ‘Heels fell short in overtime, 3-2.
WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
The soccer match may not have gone Julia Dorsey’s way, but it’s safe to say she has plenty of fans waiting for her back in Chapel Hill.
