Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. High Point produced a really memorable video honoring the Coughlin family. High Point senior attack Sean Coughlin’s father, Tim, died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks nearly 20 years ago.
The Coughlin Way: Play Hard. A feature celebrating Senior attackman Sean Coughlin and his family.https://t.co/L40qn1t99r#GTD x #GoHPU #NeverForget pic.twitter.com/SPUah7jC6R

2. Our Matt Hamilton got a look at how the UMBC men’s lacrosse program is addressing the issues surrounding race and social justice.
3. On the heels of news that many Princeton men’s and women’s players were taking leaves during the 2020-21 school year, Harvard’s men’s lacrosse emphatically said that ALL of its players would be back if the student body is allowed back on campus for the second semester.
This is not an “opting out issue”.

Harvard only invited back to campus for this semester 40% of the student body (all incoming freshmen & selected others).
Some enrolled in person, some remote, some are on semester leaves.
If there is a season in the spring ALL will be back. https://t.co/0qRnuz5HlE
