Good morning. Here's the latest from the lacrosse world:
-
Take a peek inside the updated National Lacrosse Hall of Fame & Museum.
The summer of lacrosse has been a busy one — but it hasn’t kept the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame & Museum from making a few updates. The new champion lockers, pictured above, honor the men’s and women’s national champions in Divisions I, I and III, as well as Tewaaraton winners Charlotte North of Boston College and Logan Wisnauskas (Maryland).

Marge Donovan and Abby Bosco used to be Ivy League rivals. In 2023, they’ll be teammates.
The women’s lacrosse rivalry between Princeton and Penn is one of the fiercest in the country. But Abby Bosco (Penn) and Marge Donovan (Princeton) had similar worries about their playing days being over when the Ivy League canceled the 2021 season.
They weren’t. Bosco played at Maryland last year, and Donovan suited up for Princeton. Both will be in College Park this year, and the former rivals are ready to unite in pursuit of a national title — a silver lining of the pandemic. -
Tom Schreiber reaches a three-year deal with Toronto Rock.
Tom Schreiber and the Toronto Rock have reached a three-year deal through the 2024-25 season pending league approval, the organization announced in a news release Thursday. Schreiber, 30, is a five-year NLL veteran and was one of three players to tally a league-high 47 goals last season, joining Joe Resetarits and Lyle Thompson. The new deal is the latest highlight in 2022 for Schreiber, who also helped the Rock advance to the Eastern Conference finals and became a dad in January.
