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

1. The season is over.

A cascade of cancellations Thursday due to efforts to contain the COVID-19 outbreak in the U.S. culminated with the NCAA’s decision to stop all championships for winter and spring sports.

While only three lacrosse-playing conferences — the Ivy League, Patriot League and MAAC — had outright canceled the spring season at that point, the NCAA’s announcement proved to be the death knell.

Teams, coaches and players flooded social media to express their shock and dismay, as well as gratitude and empathy for those whose careers were brought to an abrupt end. Here is but a small sampling of the reactions:

Heartbroken for our guys. Especially our seniors.

Thinking about my guy @GrantAment as I spoke with him earlier and he broke my heart saying “always thought I would be in control of when the last time I put on a uniform was.” Looking forward to watching you work at the next level brother. pic.twitter.com/5AxABCICRk

“My heart is broken, my spirit is broken”@StonyBrookWLAX coach @JoeSpallina shares his thoughts with us tonight on the @NCAALAX season’s abrupt end (and possibly the end of many senior’s careers).

“An impromptu senior day” @fresnostatelax. Maybe I’m just a softie but this is heartbreaking. @ABC30 pic.twitter.com/DlWUZC8KY5

Still stunned.
20 seasons coaching college lacrosse & nothing could have prepared me to deliver news to my Irish that their season ended today.
I LOVE this team & I’m so proud of what they represent. This group is special & only thing that could stop them was a pandemic. pic.twitter.com/tYhGG9Vzrv

I can’t look at this and not cry my eyes out. Time flies too fast, not ready for it to be over https://t.co/Jsc0RMONRC

So sad about our season coming to an abrupt end. But I've enjoyed every moment with my 2020 team and the senior class is one that I'll never forget.

The 2020 @ArmyWP_MLax team will be remembered forever. My heart hurts for our team but specifically for our Firsties. Their careers may have come to an end but their legacy will last forever. These men set the new standard for excellence. #VosFratrem #FamilyToughnessTradition pic.twitter.com/zPXLUf52av

This group is special beyond words - my heart is broken for them. So grateful for their dedication, leadership and sacrifice. The Seniors forever changed @USCTrojansLax. I wish I could put my appreciation into words but, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Fight On pic.twitter.com/YcUZK3T3Ii

2. The National Lacrosse League also suspended its season until further notice.

3. A handful of games did go on as scheduled Thursday, offering some sense of closure to those who were able to finish the season on the field of play.

In women’s lacrosse, Bri Carrasquillo scored in overtime to lift Yale to a 13-12 win at Fresno State. Olivia Markert scored a career-high six goals. There were impromptu senior ceremonies after the game.

At US Lacrosse, two top-five ranked Division II women’s teams competed. Jessica Meneilly scored six goals to lead No. 2 Le Moyne to a 16-12 win over No. 4 Indianapolis at Tierney Field in Sparks, Md. The Greyhounds, fueled by 14 draw controls from Peyton Romig, came back from a 10-goal deficit to pull within four, but the Dolphins held on to win.

4. Kyle Harrison took to social media to respond to a report by The Amherst Student that three members of the Mammoths’ men’s lacrosse team chanted the N-word outside of a black teammate’s suite March 7, provoking the teammate to punch one of them.

Hold up hold up hold up. Before speaking more I’m going to do a bit of research. Is the story I’m hearing out of Amherst for real?

— Kyle Harrison (@KyleHarrison18) March 12, 2020

This stuff is taught, man. Folks aren’t born this way. I’ve got so many damn thoughts on this nonsense, still trying to make sense of it....but, I’m heartbroken for the player whose TEAMMATES did this.

— Kyle Harrison (@KyleHarrison18) March 12, 2020

According to the report, Amherst’s dean of students sent an email on March 9 notifying students of “an altercation between two students involving the use of racist language and subsequent physical violence.”

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

Michael Sowers, the Tewaaraton Award frontrunner whose potentially historic season ended prematurely Wednesday, addressed the COVID-19 cancellations in a video posted by Princeton.
