Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Lyle Thompson continues to garner support from the lacrosse community, and beyond, following last weekend's painful incident in Philadelphia. His Georgia Swarm teammates all wore shirts with a braid on the back on Friday night in a show of solidarity.
2. Rutgers has been incredibly close to reaching the NCAA recent the last two seasons, but it still hasn't danced since 2004. Can the Knights break through in 2019?
3. Stanford won the inaugural Pac 12 championship last year and returned to the NCAA tournament, but the Cardinal have eyes on being more than just the best in the West.
4. Nick Myers is known for his preparation. The Ohio State coach is taking that same methodical approach to getting ready for the new rules in college lacrosse.
5. Penn State's women can score? Can the defense step up and get the Nittany Lions back to the elite level?
6. Maryland hosted Marquette for a scrimmage on Saturday, and Marquette head coach Joe Amplo, an assistant coach on the U.S. men's team, awarded Terp assistant coach Jesse Bernhardt his world championship ring.
