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

1. For the first time since 1985, Memorial Day Monday was silent on the lacrosse field. The NCAA introduced its Memorial Day Championship Weekend for men’s lacrosse in 1986 and it has become one of the sport’s cherished traditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic denied lacrosse fans the chance to celebrate new champions this year, but ESPNU helped bring back some of the excitement, showcasing six past women’s championships on Sunday and six past men’s championship yesterday.

Their coverage gave us a chance to look back at those championships through the pages of US Lacrosse Magazine as well.

2. Can you think of a better guest to appear on “Overtime” with Memorial Day fresh in our minds? We’re thrilled to have Army West Point head coach Joe Alberici, a gold-medal winning coach as a U.S. team assistant, join Paul Carcaterra as this week’s guest.

3. The Philadelphia Barrage carved out quite an identity in their first run in Major League Lacrosse. The Barrage are coming back to the City of Brotherly Love.
