2. In Division I women, No. 8 Northwestern defeated Penn State 19-11 in Big Ten play Thursday behind two seven-point performances from Selena Lasota (6G, 1A) and Izzy Scane (4G, 3A), plus six points from Lindsey McKone (3G, 3A). 

Brennan Dwyer led the Wildcats with 10 draw controls to aid in the 22-11 advantage in the midfield. PSU had a 20-17 edge in ground balls. 

Northwestern used a strong first half, 12-5, to cushion a tight second period, during which the Nittany Lions played a close 7-6 battle in an attempt for a comeback.

Plus, when Jacksonville upended High Point for its first ranked win, Dolphins coach John Galloway knew they were headed in the right direction. The Spence family is also spotlighted for Lehigh, having been catalysts for its five-game winning streak.

4. In Division III men, Salisbury is finding chemistry on offense despite its turnover, Denison enters the second stage of its season in NCAC play and upstart Williams could be a true challenger in NESCAC.

What We’re Watching

Check out the trailer for “The Grizzlies,” an inspirational story about the power of lacrosse in Kugluktuk, an Arctic community of Aboriginal people known for its morbidly cold climate and high rate of teen suicide. US Lacrosse hosted the team at the 2003 U19 World Championships and provided equipment to them in 2005. Learn more in the ESPN coverage below the trailer. 

Watch another powerful story featuring Pete Wilson, who plays box lacrosse for Team England and coaches Bristol University, and how lacrosse helped him through the passing of his father. 

And another inspiring story. When a hard hit paralyzed a Westminster Academy (Fla.) captain, 16-year-old Chase Lalonde walks again.
