Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Navy’s record-setting Kelly Larkin headlined a list of 26 women’s lacrosse players named as nominees for the NCAA Woman of the Year award. Had her senior season not been cut short due to COVID-19, Larkin may have become the first NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse player to record four 100-point seasons.
2. COVID-19 won’t allow Michael Kraus the chance to play at home in Connecticut this summer, but the former Virginia star is excited for that in the future with the MLL’s Connecticut Hammerheads.
Michael Kraus won a national title with @UVAMensLax and is taking his talents back to where he grew up with the @MLL_Lacrosse's @CtHammerheads.
