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

1.  Matt Dunn was on the sidelines when Loyola Blakefield defenseman Peter Laake suffered a commotio cordis event and had to be resuscitated. Now the pro is wearing new chest protection designed to help prevent such incidents, and setting an example.

2. A late goal from star Joey Spallina gave the Mount Sinai boys’ lacrosse program its first Long Island title, sending the Mustangs climbing to No. 3 in this week’s Nike/USA Lacrosse National Top 25.

3. Loyola Academy (Ill.) completed its first undefeated season in girls’ lacrosse, rising nine spots in the Nike/USA Lacrosse Top 25.

4. Sleeping Warrior, the documentary behind Kenya’s women’s lacrosse team’s trip to the 2019 World Lacrosse Women’s U19 World Championship, debuts today.

5. The Premier Lacrosse League announced that it was terminating the contracts of Matt Gaudet and Austin Staats after a reported off-field altercation between the two players.
