Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. In NCAA action on Tuesday, No. 15 Johns Hopkins used a strong first half to defeat Towson 10-3. Four different Blue Jays scored two goals apiece as Maggie Schneidereith and Aurora Cordingly led with three points each. Keegan Barger also set a school record with seven caused turnovers.
Plus, No. 16 Princeton women handled Villanova 15-6 behind two five-point performances from Kyla Sears and Elizabeth George.

2. Notre Dame women have risen to No. 4 in the Nike/US Lacrosse Division I women’s Top 20 – and are feeling good.
“[We have] a core of kids who are healthy and wiser,” Irish coach Christine Halfpenny said. “That’s what’s exciting. This collection of student-athletes embraces the opportunity to get better.”
Their best will be tested today against top-ranked Boston College. A win over the Eagles would propel Notre Dame into first place with two ACC games to go. The first draw is at 1 p.m.
3. The players of the week are both goalies – Samantha Giacolone of Notre Dame women’s lacrosse and Caton Johnson of North Carolina men’s lacrosse.
