Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Athletes Unlimited announced that former U.S. national team member Maggie Bill and current players Taylor Cummings, Marie McCool and Kylie Ohlmiller will take part in the league's first season, which will take place from July 19 to August 22.
More on the announcement here.
2. US Lacrosse and figures from throughout the lacrosse world celebrated International Women’s Day.
3. After a week with relatively few upsets, it makes sense that the Top 10 spots in the US Lacrosse Division I Men’s Top 10 would remain the same. But with three Top 10 matchups this week, that’s bound to change soon. Check out the full rankings here.
4. After a Sunday slate that featured a handful of big upsets, three teams joined the Nike / US Lacrosse Division I Women’s Top 20 this week. The top seven teams held their ground.
5. Three ranked match ups last week had the largest bearing on this week’s Nike/US Lacrosse Division II men’s Top 20. Maryville jumped five spots. On the women’s side, where 13 of the top 20 have yet to play their first games, Lindenwood maintained the top spot. Men // Women
6. Tufts moves into the No. 1 spot in the Nike / US Lacrosse Division III Men’s Top 10 after Salisbury lost their season opener to Lynchburg. The Sea Gulls are now ranked 4th and the Hornets leaped all the way from 14th to 3rd on the back of the impressive win.
7. After a 3-0 start, Salisbury’s women’s team moved up three spots in the first update from the Nike/US Lacrosse Division III Women’s Preseason Top 20.
