Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The Tewaaraton Award announced its Watch Lists on Thursday night during a charity fundraiser in New York. Albany's Connor Fields, a finalist last year, was included along with teammate TD Ierlan, but no freshmen were included in this early season release, including the Great Danes sensational Tehoka Nanticoke. There's a pretty good chance we'll see him when the next update comes out on March 22.
2. The March issue of US Lacrosse Magazine is now hitting our members' mailboxes. Check out a digital version of the magazine.
3. After a breakout freshman year at Northwestern in 2015 and a U19 world championship to boot, Selena Lasota slipped a notch in 2016 and then missed almost all of last season with an injury. She's back with a renewed passion for the game.
Selena Lasota has a team-high 21 (15g, 6a) points for Northwestern, which is 4-1 heading into a showdown against No. 1 ranked Stony Brook on Saturday.
4. No big games, no big days. How a philosophy of "no" helped Dom Starsia build a powerhouse at Virginia.
5. Major League Lacrosse is bringing its annual collegiate draft to US Lacrosse headquarters on April 18, just before the launch of the 2018 season.
6. Dan Dawson, the fifth all-time leading scorer in National Lacrosse League history, is set to embark on a new chapter of his career after being traded from Rochester to Saskatchewan.
7. The Navy women's lacrosse game against Winthrop, originally scheduled for tonight at US Lacrosse's Tierney Field, has been postponed to Saturday at 6 p.m. due to anticipated strong winds.
