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

1. LAUREN GILBERT SCORED HER SEVENTH GOAL ON A FREE POSITION in overtime and No. 5 Northwestern avenged its NCAA semifinal loss to No. 3 Syracuse with a 16-15 victory in a top-five thriller Tuesday in Evanston, Illinois.

2. CORNELL AND HOBART RESUMED THE OLDEST RIVALRY IN COLLEGE LACROSSE after a two-year hiatus Tuesday. The 13th-ranked Big Red rode separate five- and six-goal runs to a 15-12 victory over the 18th-ranked Statesmen at Schoellkopf Field.

3. WORLD LACROSSE SUSPENDED RUSSIA, becoming the latest international sports organization to sanction the country’s teams and athletes due to its unprovoked aggression in Ukraine.

4. THE ATLANTIC 10 IS SET TO ADD MEN’S LACROSSE, with an announcement expected as early as today, USA Lacrosse Magazine’s Jeremy Fallis tweeted Tuesday. The move would realign A-10 schools Richmond, Saint Joseph’s, St. Bonaventure and UMass with at least two affiliate members. Hobart, Fairfield and High Point are targets, Fallis reported last month.

5. DREW ADAMS IS RETIRING AFTER A DECORATED 14-YEAR PRO CAREER, the Archers goalie and Premier Lacrosse League announced on social media Tuesday. A four-time All-Pro and the all-time leader with 1,966 career saves, Adams won a Major League Lacrosse title with the New York Lizards in 2015. He also played for the 2014 U.S. men’s national team.

WHAT WE’RE READING

WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

Emily Hawryschuk is back — like all the way back. After missing all but one game last season due to a torn ACL, the Syracuse star enjoyed her best game so far of 2022, scoring six goals and adding three assists in the Orange’s 16-15 overtime loss at Northwestern. The performance included this free-position missile.

Apparently you don’t need to see the goal to score on it. Northwestern’s Erin Coykendall and High Point’s Brayden Mayea proved so with some sorcery Tuesday.

WHAT’S ON TAP

  • Twenty-three NCAA Division I women’s lacrosse games on the slate Wednesday, including a matinee between High Point and No. 8 Michigan at USA Lacrosse in Sparks, Maryland, and a twilight showdown in Philly with No. 9 Loyola visiting Penn.

  • On the men’s side, No. 14 Syracuse hosts No. 16 Army, one of three Division I games on the day.
