1. The U.S. U21 men’s team is back in action this weekend.
Nick Myers and his U21 program will meet at Ohio State for a pair of scrimmages with the Buckeyes and North Carolina — another step closer to the U21 world championship in Limerick, Ireland in August of 2022.
The training camp roster features a handful of new names, including Kenny Brower (Duke), Greg Campisi (Harvard), Shane Knobloch (Rutgers), Peter Lehman (Lafayette), Charlie O’Connor (Duke) and Danny Parker (Virginia).
