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

1. Top-ranked junior recruit Brennan O’Neill, an attackman from St. Anthony’s (N.Y.), switched his college commitment from Penn State to Duke on Wednesday. He originally committed to Penn State as an eighth grader in March 2016.

“More than anything, my preferences and what I was looking for in a school changed,” O’Neill told Inside Lacrosse. “I really do want to thank Penn State so much. When I was in eighth grade, I felt like I got better when I committed. Once they took a chance on me, my confidence rose through the roof, and I have nothing against them. ... I'll still be rooting for them, unless they're playing Duke."

2. Our #BestOfLax series continued with best men’s and women’s coaches of 2018. Cast your vote today!

3. Our fall ball series also continued Wednesday with a look inside the Northeast Conference, specifically Bryant under new head coach Brianna Roche.

“I think anything’s possible if you work hard with strong leadership and a winning culture,” Roche said. “I think if you have the right staff and the players buy in, I think anything’s possible.”
