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

1. The NLL is Back. 631 days after the 2020 season was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Lacrosse League will make its return the first weekend of December. Yesterday, the league announced its full competition schedule for the 2021-22 season. The San Diego Seals host the Vancouver Warriors on Dec. 3 in the season opener.

“We can’t wait to see NLL fans cheering on ‘Face Off Weekend’ beginning in just over two months,” NLL commissioner Nick Sakiewicz said in a statement. 

Check out the full schedule here.

2. Lacrosse at the collegiate level is coming to South Dakota for the first time.

Kenny DeJohn talked with Augustana University athletic director Josh Morton about the school’s plan to add lacrosse for the 2023-24 school year.

Augustana athletic director Josh Morton won't blame you if your knowledge of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, is lacking.

It's time for the lacrosse world to learn, though. Lacrosse is coming to Augustana in 2023-24.https://t.co/EZKt0heA18

According to Inside Lacrosse’s Kevin Brown, in 2022 fifth-year senior attackman Logan Wisnauskas will don the jersey number worn by the likes of Matt Rambo, Connor Kelly and most recently Tewaaraton winner Jared Bernhardt. Wisnauskas was a third team USILA All-American last spring and has registered 237 points (144 goals, 93 assists) in 57 games at Maryland.
