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

1. The lacrosse community remained in a state of mourning Monday after the death of Richie Moran, a beloved icon of the sport.

Several prominent figures shared their heartfelt sentiments and memories of the Hall of Fame coach on social media.

2. Stony Brook erased an early deficit to defeat Yale 14-10 on Monday. The Seawolves, ranked No. 7 in the Nike/USA Lacrosse Division I Women’s Top 20, trailed 4-1 after the first quarter and were down 6-3 in the second before going on an 8-1 run. Kailyn Hart scored six goals for Stony Brook, which has won 11 straight games. Yale’s Taylor Lane also scored six.

In other women’s lacrosse action, red-hot Lehigh won its fifth straight game and improved to 5-3 in the Patriot League with an 11-9 win over American. Emma Eberhardt had four goals and seven draw controls in the victory.

3. A prominent national baseball writer tweeted Monday that Queens (N.C.) is expected to announce a move from Division II to Division I and join the ASUN Conference. The Royals are nationally ranked in both men’s and women’s lacrosse. The women advanced to the NCAA Division II championship game last year. They are currently undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the Nike/USA Lacrosse Division II Women’s Top 20.

Queens started exploring the move in February. It would become the third lacrosse-playing Division II school to announce its transition to Division I this year, joining Lindenwood (men’s and women’s lacrosse) and Stonehill (women’s lacrosse).

Chris Jastrzembski of CollegeLacrosse.net assessed the rapidly changing Division I men’s lacrosse landscape in light of the latest realignment.

4. The latest college rankings came out Monday. And while there were no changes at the very top of the Nike/USA Lacrosse Top 20s, plenty of turbulence proceeded thereafter.
