Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The hottest team in New York is suddenly Cornell. The Big Red stretched their winning streak to five games with a start-to-finish 13-8 victory over Syracuse. Cornell sophomore Jeff Teat continued his stellar play with two goals and four assists, giving him 71 points in 11 games this year.
The two things people were talking about after this game were whether or not Teat intentionally threw this behind-the-back bounce pass for one of his assists, and Stephen Refhuss' shovel goal for Syracuse.
#9 @CornellLacrosse beats #7 @CuseMLAX 13-8, featuring two highlight reel plays - Cornell's Jeff Teat (4G, 2A) BTB bounce pass assist & Syracuse's Stephen Rehfuss shovel goal.

In the other big men's game of the day, Loyola beat Georgetown 11-8 behind two goals and five assists from Pat Spencer. Spencer now has 147 career assists, breaking the old Patriot League record of 142 set by Army's Tim Pearson (1999-2000).
2. Maryland's women got quite the scare before rallying from a four-goal second-half deficit to beat Princeton 11-10 on Taylor Hensh's free position goal with 45 seconds to play. Megan Whittle had a hat trick for the Terps, the third goal tying her with Jen Adams for the Maryland all-time record with 267 goals.
3. We released this week's Nike/US Lacrosse Boys' High School Top 25 yesterday, and by last night there was already one big change in order. McDonogh (Md.) came back from an early 3-0 deficit to beat No. 3 Calvert Hall (Md.) 6-4.
4. Bishop Ireton (Va.), ranked No. 8 in this week's Nike/US Lacrosse High School Girls Top 25, visited US Lacrosse headquarters yesterday and jumped out to a 7-1 halftime lead on the way to a 12-6 victory over Episcopal Academy (Pa.).
7. Brown, Oregon and Virginia Tech picked up big program wins over the weekend. Jeremy Fallis checks in with the three coaches in his weekly notebook.

Colorado and USC braved the snow in Boulder last Friday, and the Buffs came away with a 10-7 victory to set up a big showdown in the Pac-12 with Stanford this weekend.
8. Snow, rain, cold, it didn't matter, our photographers captured some great images from the weekend's college lacrosse action. Check out their work here.
9. You won't find many players more liked or more respected in Major League Lacrosse than Anthony Kelly. He announced on Instagram yesterday that he's retiring from the league, but we're excited to hear that the A-Train is hoping to give it one more go and try to make the 2019 U.S. Indoor Team.
Scott Marr helped customers wake up early Tuesday morning as he worked the drive thru at a Dunkin Donuts as part of a promotion. The Albany coach hopes Friday night's loss to UMBC was a wake-up call for his team.
We should have known James Scane was ready for a big shot when we saw this video for the first time last week. Scane had the game-winner in Robert Morris' 11-9 win over Canisius last night..
A big battle in women's lacrosse takes place today in New England with No. 20 Dartmouth heading to No. 2 Boston College.
