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

1. ​The game of the weekend? More like the game of the year.

The Crown Lacrosse Classic provided an instant classic between Cornell and Penn State, as Angelo Petrakis won the faceoff and sprinted down the field to bury the game-winning goal with eight seconds left in the Big Red’s 18-17 win.

Read the recap of the wild contest here.

3. No. 3 Loyola has proven to be an offensive juggernaut in the early going, and the Greyhounds improved to 5-0 with a 19-15 win over No. 7 Penn in a marquee women’s lacrosse contest featuring a pair of All-American sisters — Livy and Gabby Rosenzweig. Read the game story here.

WHAT WE’RE READING

  • Saturday’s Boston University men’s game against Bucknell was postponed because several BU players were being treated for illnesses. The players were tested for COVID-19 (the coronavirus), and those results came back negative.

  • Tonight’s Boston University women’s game against Jacksonville has also been postponed, according to the school’s official site. The report states that multiple athletes have been treated for illnesses, similar to the men’s team.

  • Hunter Hughes, a 29-year-old faceoff specialist who joined Cornell as a walk-on, is a senior who served in the Marine Corps from 2008-14. Mitch Hoy of the Cornell Daily Sun tells his story.

  • In NJCAA action, No. 3 Nassau CC dominated No. 1 Onondaga in an 18-4 win. Nassau led 10-0 at halftime. Jack Pucci scored seven goals and Matthew Borodin made 19 saves.
