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

1. It was a busier Monday than usual in college lacrosse, highlighted by a pair of great games in the Pac-12.

No. 12 USC improved to 10-1 with a 10-9 victory over Stanford behind 17 saves from Riley Hertford. Kelsey Huff had three goals and Katie Ramsay had two, including this rocket in the first half.

Settin' the tone.

Stanford won’t have to wait long for a shot at revenge. The Cardinal host USC on Sunday.

Cal, down two goals with less than a minute to play, rallied for a 12-11 OT victory against Arizona State. Nikki Zaccaro had the game-winner.

No doubt.

In the lone Division I men’s game of the day, Brown’s Phil Goss made 17 saves, but Villanova played some pretty good defense of its own to post a 10-9 victory.

With his caused turnover today, @tjcomizio moves into 4th place in program history with 52 caused turnovers, passing Chris Conroy in the process #GoNova pic.twitter.com/BsHkZpb6mo
