Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. The U.S. U21 Men’s national team named its 23-man world championship roster.
Nick Myers and his coaching staff have spent the better part of three years preparing to bring the U21 team to Limerick, Ireland for the U21 world championship in August of 2022, and now the roster is official.
The final 23 players represent 14 different colleges and come from high schools in 10 different states. The next event for the team will be a training weekend at USA Lacrosse headquarters in June.
