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

1.  Richmond withstood an early onslaught from Virginia in men’s lacrosse and beat the No. 2 ranked Cavaliers, 17-13, for the first time in school history behind four goals and three assists from Dalton Young on Saturday.

Some other notable men’s results from Saturday:

  • No. 8 Yale and No. 6 Penn played another classic with the Bulldogs coming out on top 12-11 on Chris Lyons’ overtime winner.

  • Jake Taylor made his first career start for Notre Dame and proceeded to score a school-record eight goals in the Irish’s 22-6 win over Syracuse.

  • Dylan Watson scored six times as No. 3 Georgetown won a road game at Denver 17-9.

2. The Pac-12 had a banner day on Sunday in women’s lacrosse, picking up two key victories with Arizona State upsetting Rutgers and USC knocking off Michigan. Colorado and Stanford also won within the league and in a nonconference showdown at USA Lacrosse, Jacksonville rallied for a 10-9 win over Cornell.

3. Saturday’s women’s schedule included 40 games, including Duke scoring seven straight goals to beat Virginia 13-8 for the Blue Devils 13th victory of the season. Maryland star Auroro Cordingley scored twice in her return to Johns Hopkins, but Libby May (four goals) and Emily Sterling (12 saves) stole the show in a 17-6 win for the Terps. Top-ranked North Carolina crushed Notre Dame with Taylor Moreno making a save you simply must see (keep scrolling).

4. On Saturday much of the sports world was focused on Duke-North Carolina for basketball reasons, but the two school got together in men’s lacrosse as well. Duke won this battle behind monster games from Brennan O’Neill (seven goals) and Mike Adler (19 saves). Chapel Fowler was on site in Chapel Hill.

5. Northwestern opened a big weekend in Pennsylvania with a convincing win at Penn State on Friday night and Stony Brook picked up a win that got bigger as the weekend went along.

Let’s keep the goalie love going. How about Harvard’s Kyle Mullins saving the Crimson’s 7-6 win over Colgate.
