Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The Team USA Fall Classic women’s roster was named Monday by head coach Jenny Levy. It includes 12 of 18 players that won gold with the 2017 U.S. World Cup team, as well as several recent college graduates.
“Our coaching staff is excited for our first training camp and to coach this talented group of athletes,” Levy said. “By 2021, our goal is to work with at least 80 players to build a hardworking, exciting and cohesive team to represent the USWNT in the next World Cup.”
The U.S. will play James Madison in the Oct. 6 event at US Lacrosse headquarters in Levy’s coaching debut.
