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

1. The U.S. U19 women’s national team is less than two weeks away from the Women's Lacrosse U19 World Championships, and it now has two captains leading the way.

Ally Murphy and Elizabeth Hillman will anchor the U.S. national team as it goes for gold.

2. Speaking of national teams, the men’s indoor team has its eyes set on the World Indoor Lacrosse Championship in Langley, British Columbia this September.

Among those vying for a spot on the final roster are nine players that made their NLL debuts in 2019. Catch up on the American movement in indoor lacrosse.

3. Some MLL rookies made an impact right away, some took a little longer.

For the Cannons’ Tate Boyce and the Rattlers’ Bradley Voigt, their first impression came last week, and it was a good one. Both had viral highlights in weekend action.

4. For Marie McCool, the balance between work and lacrosse is a challenge, but one for which she’s well prepared.

Read up on McCool’s day-to-day life, which includes staying in shape and working full-time at Quest Diagnostics.

5. The Women’s Mid-Atlantic Club Lacrosse League is providing an opportunity for women fresh out of college to moms looking to continue playing the game they love.

6. Wednesday was World Emoji Day. It’s the first year fans can celebrate with the #LaxEmoji. Here are some examples.

Happy #WorldEmojiDay
