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

1. Fifty-two U.S. men’s national team hopefuls trained over the weekend at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md.

The three-day camp culminated in a scrimmage Sunday. Marcus Holman, one of seven players from the gold medal-winning 2018 team vying for a spot on the 2023 roster, scored with three seconds left to lift his side to a win.
