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

1.  A five-goal lead in the fourth quarter almost wasn’t enough as Syracuse held off a late charge to edge previously unbeaten Loyola 14-13 in women’s lacrosse on Tuesday night. Loyola appeared to have tied the game with 12 seconds left, but a charging call negated the goal.
