Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. We revealed the cover of our December 2020 print edition yesterday, and we are thrilled to recognize U.S. women’s team goalie Liz Hogan. She’s never given up on her dream of representing the country.
Never in my wildest dreams... to anyone who’s ever considered letting a dream pass them by, keep your hard hat on and never give up!

2. A great Q&A with some Native thought leaders in the lacrosse community — Justin Giles, Jackie Pata, Kathy Smith — offering their perspectives on some tough questions that a lot of people wonder about but rarely ask.
3. New head women’s lacrosse coach Lindsay Teeters is set to build on American University’s surprising success from 2020.
4. On hiatus since 2017, a popular summer tournament returned to Minnesota to help athletes get through a COVID-influenced season.
5. Love this infographic from the IWLCA to help recruits navigate what contacts are allowed by coaches at different levels.
