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

1. Leading the college beat are congratulations to Kyle Marr of Johns Hopkins and Selena Lasota of Northwestern for earning Warrior and Brine/US Lacrosse Players of the Week honors, respectively.

 

 

The Nike/US Lacrosse Top 20 rankings are off until we release final editions after Memorial Day weekend.

2. Rochester and Saskatchewan will play a best-of-three series to determine the National Lacrosse League champion in a matchup of recent heavyweights, wrote Neil Stevens in this week's NLL notebook.

The Knighthawks edged defending champion Georgia, 9-8, in the East Division final, while the Rush defeated Calgary, 15-13, to win the West Division. The teams have combined to win five titles this decade.

3. Phil Shore checked in with a Major League Lacrosse notebook, headlined by how Boston finally got back into the win column and how some of Denver's offseason deals are working out.

The Cannons had lost nine straight, but big Cannon Max Seibald got untracked with four goals to pace Boston's 15-9 win over Florida last week. Will Sands emerged to collect player of the week honors.

4. Natalie Wills made a strong debut as host of “Dialed In: The Show” last week, filling in for Matt Hamilton. Natalie was so well-received, in fact, that Matt feared for his job and returned to host yesterday's edition. Which anchor do you prefer?

 

5. The offseason coaching carousel has begun, as Siena has parted ways with men's coach John Svec.

 

Svec was 44-59 in seven seasons with the Saints, and he led them to their third MAAC championship and NCAA tournament in 2014, finishing with an 11-6 overall record. But Siena struggled more recently, winning just three games in each of the last three seasons.

WHAT WE’RE READING

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

Everything's bigger in Texas, something St. Mark's boys' coach Hayward Lee understands. From the weekend, Lee's squad just lost the Texas High School Lacrosse League Division I final to The Woodlands, 10-6, but he took a moment to congratulate the victors, wish those playing in college next season well and remind them of the larger Texas lacrosse family.
