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

1. ​In keeping with the trend of bringing homegrown talent into the fold, the New York Riptide announced the signing of Connor Farrell to a practice player contract. Farrell, who grew up on Long Island in Holtsville, was drafted 24^th overall by the Riptide in September after dominating his senior season at LIU Post. Just last week, the Riptide brought in Myles Jones.

2. New logo, who dis?

3. Unfortunate news for the Maryland women. Lizzie Colson, an IWLCA third-team All-American in 2019, will redshirt the 2020 season after tearing her ACL training with Team USA in June. Learn more here.

4. The Premier Lacrosse League announced its fourth stop in 2020, and it’s a familiar place. Like it did in 2019, the PLL will play at Johns Hopkins’ Homewood Field in Week 4.

5. Our rollout of Top 20 team previews continued with No. 4 squads. The Northwestern women must replace Selena Lasota, but Izzy Scane is waiting in the wings and ready for more. The Maryland men finished the 2019 season with a few letdowns defensively, and the Terps are using that as motivation.

WHAT WE’RE READING

• Matt Hamilton profiled US Lacrosse Magazine Men’s Division II Preseason Player of the Year Clark Walter of Limestone. You’ll learn why Walter is the most indispensable of Limestone’s quartet of stars.

• The New England Lacrosse Journal broke down 11 midfielders and faceoff specialists to watch in Division I men’s lacrosse this spring.

• Halifax, the last remaining undefeated NLL team, checks in at No. 1 in Inside Lacrosse’s weekly power rankings.

• Defending national champion Virginia is No. 1 in the USILA Division I preseason coaches poll. Limestone is tops in Division II, and Salisbury is at the top of Division III, but not without some dissent within the ranks. Cabrini, which earned the most first-place votes with nine, is No. 3.

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

Get fired up with the Navy men.
