Good morning and Happy Halloween! Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The Women's Professional Lacrosse League announced the results from its draft on Tuesday night, and 2017 U.S. World Cup champions Becca Block, Kayla Treanor and Michelle Tumolo were among the big names selected. All three played in the United Women's Lacrosse League last season.
2. Tumolo was one of four high-profile women's lacrosse players featured in a round-table type interview discussing the state of the women's game and the future that appears in the print edition of our November issue.
3. Depending on the status of your phone's operating system, yesterday was either the arrival of the long-awaited lacrosse emoji or a lot of question marks on your timeline.
Just a reminder in case you haven't updated your iPhone, or never do (don't worry you're not alone).
