Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Stanford’s Mikeala Watson was one of four winners of the IWLCA Scholar-Athletes of the Year award. Ella Brockway profiled Watson for us leading into the season.
2. What can’t Rob Pannell do? On Monday night the U.S. and PLL attacker competed on American Ninja Warrior. He went out on the Double Down obstacle.
