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

1.  Michigan has tabbed Maryland defensive coordinator Kevin Conry as its new head coach. This will be Conry's first collegiate head coaching position after serving as an assistant at Maryland, Fairfield, Penn State and Siena. A 2004 graduate of Johns Hopkins, Conry helped Maryland's staunch defense reach three straight NCAA championship games, winning the title this past season. Former Michigan coach John Paul, who oversaw the school's transition from club to a varsity program that went 8-6 this year, was among the well wishers for Conry.

Confident that @UMichLacrosse is in good hands with @CoachConry. Looking forward to seeing program continue to grow.

2. US Lacrosse had a public launch of its Lacrosse Communities Project yesterday in Albany, N.Y. The program aims to create self-sustaining, multi-generational lacrosse programs complete with cooperatively run clinics, feeder schools and recreational programs, and ensure access to sports through the creation or renovation of athletic fields in select regions. Future launches are planned for Cleveland and Brooklyn

3. Monmouth announced the resignation of head women's lacrosse coach Eileen Ghent on Wednesday. Ghent, who went 18-18 in two seasons as head coach after serving as an assistant at the school for four seasons, is married to former Monmouth assistant men's basketball coach Sam Ferry, who recently took a position on the staff at Pitt.

4. Maryland’s Matt Rambo and Zoe Stukenberg have been named as finalists for the Best Male College Athlete and Best Female College Athlete, respectively, for this years ESPYS awards show. The awards are decided by fan voting.

5. Ohio's Peter Baum says the product has never been better, but Major League Lacrosse is still looking to find the right formular to drive visibility to the league and increase attendance.

What We’re Reading

• Syracuse led the nation with a total attendance of 34,271 fans this spring, but Maryland had the highest average per-game attendance at 4,719.

• Interesting read of a tour by a Canadian lacrosse team 110 years ago, that included a voyage to Australia.

• A busy summer of lacrosse in Lake Placid, N.Y., kicks off next week with the inaugural High Peaks Summer Classic this weekend.

• WMAR (ABC) checks in with highlights from this year’s Shootout for Soldiers event in Baltimore, which wrapped on Wednesday evening. We’ll have a preview of the Boston event coming up later this week on USLaxMagazine.com

What We’re Watching

There is no mandate, or plan to mandate, the use of women’s headgear by US Lacrosse or the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). That’s one of the primary points of clarification in a new informational video produced by US Lacrosse.

Garrett Bolles was the first lineman taken in the National Football League draft this year, going to the Denver Broncos, but his first love was lacrosse. The former high school player from Utah showed off his skills during a recent Denver Outlaws game.

He's a first-round @NFL Draft pick, but @gbolles72's first  wasn't .https://t.co/V92ta5l88X
