Good morning. Here's the latest from the lacrosse world:

1. World Champs!

The U.S. women’s team made history, becoming the first team to win the World Lacrosse Women’s championship on home soil, defeating Canada 11-8 on Saturday in Towson, Md.

THE PARTY IS ON. THE GOLD TASTES SO GOOD.

The last three hours have been a blur. What a time to be alive.

2. They’re not done.

Veterans helped paved the way to a fourth straight championship for the U.S., but with young stars like Sam Apuzzo, Ally Mastroianni and Charlotte North stepping into a big role, the future is bright.

3. The U.S. men’s Sixes squad is also in the medal hunt.

After sweeping through it’s pool with a 3-0 record, the U.S. men’s Sixes team plays Japan in the semifinals of The World Games in Birmingham, Ala., today. A victory over Australia on Sunday showed the defensive prowess of the USA squad. How about the hang time on this goal by Colin Heacock on Saturday against Great Britain.

WHAT WE’RE READING

• The Baltimore Sun’s Ed Lee on the U.S. victory in the gold medal game.

• England won its second straight bronze medal at the World Lacrosse Women’s Championship, beating Australia in a epic three-overtime bronze medal game.

• England’s Laura Merrifield is used to breaking new ground, and she thinks Sixes could help the sport grow as well.

• Marie McCool and Britt Read grew up playing with and against each other. On Saturday, they were both named to the All-World team.

• Las Vegas snagged 15 players in the National Lacrosse League expansion draft, including Connor Kirst who had a strong rookie season with Georgia.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

Marie McCool was one of the big stars of the world championship and this nifty footwork to avoid a charge and score a key momentum goal in the championship illustrates how great she played.
