Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Ireland is one step closer to reality for the 2020 U.S. men’s U19 team. Nick Myers and his staff announced the 50 players that have moved on to the second round of tryouts.
2. Veteran head coach Jennifer Ulehla is the new head women's lacrosse coach at George Washington. Ulehla, a former player and coach for the U.S. national team, has been the head coach at Michigan, Temple and James Madison.
3. Randy Staats had two goals and four assists as Atlanta downed his former team, the Rattlers. Phil Shore checks in with his weekly MLL Notebook.
4. Jules Heningburg was part of the first trade in PLL history and he made his Redwoods debut a big one with a five-goal, three-assist effort. Jack Goods’ weekly PLL Notebook.
5. There was a lot to celebrate during the PLL’s weekend in Baltimore, but also a touching moment as the players locked arms on Saturday night to remember Jim Bernhardt, the father of Whipsnakes’ midfielder Jake Bernhardt.
This is far bigger than a game. Before the opening faceoff, we locked arms to say a prayer for the late Coach Bernhardt and his family. A father, mentor, leader and friend to us. His sons’ embody his character, competitiveness, and class. We will miss you. pic.twitter.com/a6Y1Qm0EB5
