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

1. Tremendous insight in Gary Lambrecht’s piece about Kyle Harrison and Paul Rabil reuniting in the Premier Lacrosse League – including Rabil watching VHS tapes at 2 a.m. during his recruiting visit to Hopkins.

2. The 100^th lacrosse meeting between Army and Navy highlights the 12-game television schedule announced by CBS Sports Network on Thursday.

3. Losses through the expansion draft will make it harder for Georgia to win the regular season title in the NLL East for a third straight season. But MVP candidate Lyle Thompson will certainly have the Swarm in contention.

4. Saskatchewan earned its third title in four years and its fourth straight NLL Cup appearance in 2018, but, if the Saskatchewan dynasty is to continue, it will have to be with some new characters.

5. Ben Reeves, the Tewaaraton winner who led Yale to the NCAA title earlier this year, is a NCAA Today’s Top 10 Award winner that recognizes 10 athletes across all sports and divisions for their success on the field, in the classroom and in the community.
