2. Alyssa Murray potential G.O.A.T.

A member of the U.S. Team since 2014 and a two-time Tewaaraton finalist at Syracuse, Murray is one of 24 athletes in the running for the “Greatest Athlete of All Time” award from The World Games. The voting begins Friday, January 8.

According to The World Games website, you can vote for your favorite candidate once every 24 hours.

3. A Message from the Bocklet Family

Casey Bocklet expressed thanks in a social media post to the lacrosse community, which came together in support of her older brother, Chris, who was hospitalized after suffering a severe head injury. The GoFundMe campaign, organized by Casey Powell, raised more than $100,000 in less than 48 hours. It has now exceeded $150,000.

“We still have a long road to go, but this is going to help us immensely in the recovery process,” Casey Bocklet wrote. “We feel so lucky to be part of such a special community, and there is no doubt that Chris feels your love too!”

A message from Casey Bocklet to the Lacrosse World.@adam8taylor and @caseypowell22 as usual showing leadership and leading the charge. They are two of the many special people in our game.
