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

1. In Tuesday’s NCAA Division I action, No. 5 Penn women escaped Drexel 12-10 and No. 19 Georgetown cruised past George Washington 13-4. 

The Quakers, led by five points apiece from Zoe Belodeau and Gabby Rosenzweig, overcame a 4-0 deficit to start the game, while the Hoyas saw a hat trick and three draw controls from Natalia Lynch, who sparked their scoring. Next up, Penn and Georgetown will meet on Saturday at 1 p.m.

In Division I men, attackman Tehoka Nanticoke was reinstated by the NCAA and took the field for Albany, tallying a team-high four points in a 14-8 loss to UMass. The Minutemen got four points each from Devin Spencer, Gabriel Procyk and Kevin Cutinella. 

The No. 20 Georgetown men also had a successful outing Tuesday, downing Furman 18-6 behind seven points from Jake Carraway. 

Plus, Princeton men defeated Navy 19-11. Both teams were on the outside looking in, being also considered for this week’s Nike/US Lacrosse Top 20. Four Tigers recorded five points or more – Phillip Robertson (5), Chris Brown (6), Emmet Cordrey (8) and Michael Sowers (9).

3. No. 16 Navy women like to live on the edge, as three of its four wins were decided by one goal. It’s been an “exercise in perseverance,” writes US Lacrosse Magazine’s Jeremy Fallis. Most recently, the Midshipmen upset Florida 14-13, scoring five goals in the last 4:30. 

“Lacrosse is all about momentum shifts and playing through them,” Navy coach Cindy Timchal said. “We’ve been fortunate.”

The Mids now turn to face a tough opponent in top-ranked Boston College today at 7 p.m.

What We’re Reading

  • The Daily Gazette followed up on the situation regarding Albany’s Tehoka Nanticoke's and a social media post, reporting that coach Scott Marr apologized for the “distraction” he created and noting the gray area between the NCAA’s and Marr’s point of views. While Marr didn’t apologize for the content of his comments, he said he “shouldn’t have done it” because of the fallout that ensued. 

What We’re Watching

PLL founder Paul Rabil released a video on his YouTube channel detailing the selection process for the league’s six inaugural rosters. The PLL’s advisory board, led by Seth Tierney, put together the teams based on the following criteria – college affiliation, former pro team chemistry, skill set and age. For example, the Whipsnakes are primarily former Terps.
