Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The Nation United Summit, a three-day event featuring 79 elite high school girls’ lacrosse players at USA Lacrosse, wrapped up on Sunday. Nation United helps create opportunities to increase diversity in the sport.
2. After 29 years at Johns Hopkins, Janine Tucker announced that the 2022 season would be her last. She told Justin Feil, “It didn’t feel great, but it did feel right.” We take a look at Tucker’s final Blue Jay squad as part of our Fall Ball Focus series.
3. Our She Competes series continues tomorrow with U.S. women’s national player Kristen Carr leading a conversation on the imbalance of women in leadership positions, and how we can strive for more opportunities.
