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

1. The WPLL may have folded, but Michele DeJuliis is hopeful in a future with Athletes Unlimited.

DeJuliis spoke with Kenny DeJohn about the end of the WPLL, which ran for two seasons before the lack of sponsor support and the COVID-19 pandemic forced the league to fold last week.

Check out DeJuliis’ candid thoughts and what might be next for women’s professional lacrosse.

2. NCAA President Mark Emmert announced Thursday that all Division I fall sports championships have been canceled, with the exception of FBS football. Emmert said he hopes to find a way to hold these championships in the spring, which could impact the 2021 college lacrosse season.

According to ESPN, Emmert also said the NCAA is entertaining the idea of using bubbles for championships in the "first half" of 2021, specifically mentioning basketball.

3. Zed Williams on the power of the stick.
