Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. College athlete endorsements could soon be on the way.
The NCAA Board of Governors supported changes to the name, image and likeness rules that included third-party endorsement opportunities. The proposal will move to the three divisions to vote on, a decision that could come by January and be in place for the 2021-22 academic year.
2. Syracuse women’s lacrosse gets love for offensive star Emily Hawryschuk, but the Orange defense led by Sarah Cooper was rock solid in 2020.
Check out more on the Syracuse defense, and stay tuned this week as the Orange compete against Notre Dame in the Nike/US Lacrosse Women’s Virtual NCAA Tournament title game.
3. Jamie Trimboli. Brendan Curry. Tucker Dordevic.
Syracuse boasts one of the best midfield units in the game, and with Trimboli and Curry returning for an extra year in 2021, the Orange’s top line will be hard to stop.
Syracuse is a finalist in our Nike/US Lacrosse Men’s NCAA Virtual Tournament.
4. HBO’s “Real Sports” featured Cascade’s efforts to pivot from making helmets to manufacturing facemasks in an effort to help those on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Former Princeton player Dr. Liza Hartofilis was profiled on the program. Check out this clip.
45 Cathy Reese shared how she built a dynasty at Maryland in Overtime Season 3 Episode 11.
