Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:

1. You know the drill. Another Monday has come and gone, and so too have the latest Nike/USA Lacrosse Top 20 updates.

  • Syracuse is back in the picture on the Division I men’s side after a win over Duke, and Villanova also joins the fray. Georgetown has re-entered the top three.

  • One key game caused a shift in the Division I women’s top 20, as James Madison’s surprising win over Maryland shot the Dukes up to No. 12. Maryland fell to No. 5.

  • Belmont Abbey has returned to the Division II men’s top 20 after a rough start had the Crusaders at 0-4. They’re now even at 4-4 and looking to climb again.

  • Undefeated East Stroudsburg jumped five spots to No. 3 in the Division II women’s top 20. ESU, which was a national semifinalist last season, is 7-0.

  • Bowdoin made a big jump up the Division III men’s top 20, going from unranked to No. 13. Denison and Williams also joined the pack.

  • Finally, there’s a new No. 1 in the Division III women’s top 20. Salisbury’s loss opened the door for Middlebury to assume the top spot.

2. “Overtime” with Paul Carcaterra features John Galloway this week.

One of the most likeable people in lacrosse, the Jacksonville coach and former U.S. men’s national team goalie reflected on his career.

Listen here.

3. Lars Tiffany is staying in Charlottesville for the foreseeable future.

The two-time national champion has signed a contract extension through the 2026 season, Virginia announced on Monday. Tiffany is 62-23 overall in his time with the Cavaliers.
