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

1. Since the day they started throwing up perfect faceoff efforts this year, the lacrosse world has been clamoring for a look at Denver's Trevor Baptiste versus Albany's TD Ierlan.

We'll get that look in this weekend's NCAA quarterfinals, and who better to break it down than Team USA's Greg Gurenlian?

2. Tewaaraton finalist Kristen Gaudian, the last player in her recruiting class at James Madison, has led the Dukes to a school-best 19-1 record and a shot at the NCAA semifinals.

3. A long wait made last weekend's victory over Syracuse all the more satisfying for Cornell's fifth-year goalie, Christian Knight.

4. Despite missing several of their key pieces over the first few weeks of the season, Charlotte sits atop the Major League Lacrosse standings at 4-0. Culture is a big reason why

5. Defenders rarely get the credit, but all eyes will be on the "faceless" Team USA defensive trio of Jesse Bernhardt, Tucker Durkin and Joe Fletcher this summer in Israel.
