Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Princeton women’s lacrosse coach Chris Sailer announced on Monday night that the 2022 season will be her last. The Hall of Fame coach has 418 wins, 15 Ivy League championships and three national titles, but that’s just a small part of her legacy.
A one in a million coach, human being, leader, and trailblazer. Nearly 20 years after playing for Chris, I still feel her impact on a daily basis. So incredibly lucky to have played for her and learned from her. Tiger family forever https://t.co/5aBXm486HY

An absolute legend in the game and an even better person. Women’s Lacrosse, and so many of us in it, have been shaped by you @CoachSailer - thank you doesn’t do it justice. https://t.co/C8oY2vddJH
2. Janine Tucker’s final season as the Johns Hopkins women’s lacrosse coach will have extra meaning after a fall that gave her some of her biggest personal challenges.
"The way Janine Tucker takes care of herself is taking care of everyone else."
