Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The IWLCA and ILWomen released the first poll combining the votes of coaches and media Monday. Unsurprisingly, Boston College is the near-consensus preseason No. 1, receiving all but two first-place votes. (Those went to North Carolina.)
They also put out preseason polls for Division II and Division III.
2. Lax Sports Network unveiled its Colonial Athletic Association broadcast schedule for the season. Among intriguing nonconference games on the men’s side are Virginia at Towson and Johns Hopkins at Delaware. On the women’s side, LSN will have North Carolina at James Madison and Florida at Drexel.
The slate includes 15 games, plus the conference semifinals and championship games.
3. All 14 National Lacrosse League teams were in action over the weekend. From unbeaten Buffalo’s late-game rally and OT triumph to Albany’s winning formula and San Diego’s streaking, it was a lot to unpack. Jack Goods did just that in his weekly NLL notebook.
