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

1. It’s here. The World Lacrosse Men’s Championship opens with a doozy tonight, as the reigning world champion U.S. takes on rival Canada at 10 p.m. Eastern/7 p.m. Pacific on ESPN2. Meet the 23 players representing the red, white and blue on home soil here and feast your eyes on the freshest unis in San Diego.

Outside the U.S. camp, some injury news confirmed by pro lacrosse insider and USA Lacrosse Magazine contributor Dan Arestia:

2. The final high school rankings of the season. Lawrenceville (N.J.) and Darien (Conn.) finished the season as the No. 1-ranked teams in the Nike/USA Lacrosse High School Boys’ and Girls’ National Top 25 rankings, respectively. Here are this week’s reports:

Boys: National Top 25 | Regional Top 10s
Girls: National Top 25 | Regional Top 10s

3. More coaching changes at the Division I level. Brianna Roche has stepped down as the head coach of Bryant women’s lacrosse. Roche spent five years with the Bulldogs and was the 2022 NEC Coach of the Year.

4. The PLL All-Star Game will feature a Veterans vs. Rising Stars format pitting players with at four or more years of professional lacrosse experience against those with three or fewer, the league announced Tuesday.
