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

1. Here come the Waterdogs.

The club continues to surge, dominating in Minnesota during the latest Premier Lacrosse League stop. The Waterdogs won on both Friday and Sunday, outscoring the Cannons and Chrome by a combined 31-13.

The Cannons then bounced back to beat the Archers in the weekend’s final contest, showcasing the parity across the PLL’s eight clubs this summer.

Check out all the scores from a wild weekend below.

FRIDAY

Waterdogs 19, Cannons 7

SATURDAY

Redwoods 13, Whipsnakes 7
Atlas 16, Chaos 10

SUNDAY

Waterdogs 12, Chrome 6
Cannons 13, Archers 12

2. The Penn State men are reloading for 2022.

On social media, the Nittany Lions announced the addition of grad transfer Tate Gallagher, a midfielder coming from Richmond. Gallagher was short stick d-middie in 2021 after spending time as an offensive midfielder earlier in his career with the Spiders.

Penn State also announced that Jack Kelly, Jack Glatz, Brayden Peck and Brian Townsend will return for fifth years.

3. Jeff Teat is ready for the NLL.

Teat, who’s been tearing it up with the Atlas in the PLL, took time out of the PLL’s stop on Long Island last weekend to take a tour of Nassau Coliseum — the home of the New York Riptide.

He and Callum Crawford were taken around the building by NLL legend Sal LoCascio. USA Lacrosse Magazine contributor Dylan Butler accompanied Teat and Crawford as they learned more about their now home.
