Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. All three divisions of the NCAA Men’s Lacrosse Championships got underway yesterday, including Delaware and Vermont winning play-in games in Division I. Here’s a look at Wednesday’s results:
2. Taylor Cummings takes a spin at predicting the opening rounds of the NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse championship.
3. More details have emerged from the Delaware State women’s lacrosse team bus search and while the Liberty County (Ga.) Sheriff’s Office does not believe it was a case of racial profiling, many others do not agree. The latest.
4. Ellie Masera is emerging as one of the sport’s bright new stars. The Stony Brook midfielder has also overcome some hardships this year, namely a house fire destroying her family home. She joined Sheehan Stanwick Burch on The Stick Drop.
5. Drew Kelleher inherited a Manhattan program with limited resources and limited success. The Jaspers trip to the NCAA tournament shows the progress made already.
6. Central Michigan is headed to the NCAA tournament for the first time. The program is trying to level up.
