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

1. In Tuesday’s NCAA Division I action, No. 5 Penn women escaped Drexel 12-10 and No. 19 Georgetown cruised past George Washington 13-4. 

The Quakers, led by five points apiece from Zoe Belodeau and Gabby Rosenzweig, overcame a 4-0 deficit to start the game, while the Hoyas saw a hat trick and three draw controls from Natalia Lynch, who sparked their scoring. Next up, Penn and Georgetown will meet on Saturday at 1 p.m.

In Division I men, attackman Tehoka Nanticoke was reinstated by the NCAA and took the field for Albany, tallying a team-high four points in a 14-8 loss to UMass. The Minutemen got four points each from Devin Spencer, Gabriel Procyk and Kevin Cutinella. 

The No. 20 Georgetown men also had a successful outing Tuesday, downing Furman 18-6 behind seven points from Jake Carraway. 

Plus, Princeton men defeated Navy 19-11. Both teams were on the outside looking in, being also considered for this week’s Nike/US Lacrosse Top 20. Four Tigers recorded five points or more – Phillip Robertson (5), Chris Brown (6), Emmet Cordrey (8) and Michael Sowers (9).

3. No. 16 Navy women like to live on the edge, as three of its four wins were decided by one goal. It’s been an “exercise in perseverance,” writes US Lacrosse Magazine’s Jeremy Fallis. Most recently, the Midshipmen upset Florida 14-13, scoring five goals in the last 4:30. 

“Lacrosse is all about momentum shifts and playing through them,” Navy coach Cindy Timchal said. “We’ve been fortunate.”

The Mids now turn to face a tough opponent in top-ranked Boston College today at 7 p.m.

4. Stanford’s Ali Baiocco and Notre Dame’s Brian Willetts are the Brine/US Lacrosse and Warrior/US Lacrosse Players of the Week, respectively. 

5. In case you missed it, the high school preseason rankings are out. Calvert Hall (Md.) is No. 1 in the Nike/US Lacrosse High School Boys’ National Top 25, while Manhasset (N.Y.) leads the Nike/US Lacrosse High School Girls’ National Top 25. Plus, check out regional Top 10 rankings. 

What We’re Reading

• The Daily Gazette followed up on the situation regarding Albany’s Tehoka Nanticoke's and a social media post, reporting that coach Scott Marr apologized for the “distraction” he created and noting the gray area between the NCAA’s and Marr’s point of views. While Marr didn’t apologize for the content of his comments, he said he “shouldn’t have done it” because of the fallout that ensued. 

The Albany lacrosse coach made inaccurate statements. Here are the facts. The NCAA did not suspend Tehoka Nanticoke. Albany proactively withheld him Saturday after finding a violation. The NCAA acted on Monday, the same day Albany reached out, and said he did not need to sit.

• “And just like that, the season is back on” for No. 8 Notre Dame (2-1) after upsetting Maryland men. 

• No. 13 Villanova men are gaining more national recognition, much in part to TJ Comizio, who is “one of the best shortstick d-middies in the country,” according to coach Mike Corrado. 

• Gettysburg coach Carol Cantele isn’t thinking about winning a third straight championship. She’d rather live in the moment.

• The Marquette Dome, the home of men’s lacrosse and soccer which stands out on the Milwaukee skyline, is an advantage during Wisconsin’s winter weather. 

• It’s a new era for West Genesee boys’ lacrosse under new head coach Shaun Smith. 

• North Bay Haven (Fla.) will be adding girls’ and boys’ lacrosse next year. 

What We’re Watching

PLL founder Paul Rabil released a video on his YouTube channel detailing the selection process for the league’s six inaugural rosters. The PLL’s advisory board, led by Seth Tierney, put together the teams based on the following criteria – college affiliation, former pro team chemistry, skill set and age. For example, the Whipsnakes are primarily former Terps. 

Yesterday, it was USA Tuesday! Take a walk down memory lane.
