It's here. The most anticipated NCAA lacrosse season ever has arrived. We are excited too. So we dropped dual covers.
The COVID-19 pandemic robbed players of their seasons and fans of their lacrosse fix for 10-plus months, but the game we all love has returned. We previewed 120 teams in the February 2021 edition of US Lacrosse Magazine.
Also in the February edition: A story on the PLL-MLL merger, by Nelson Rice and Matt Hamilton; A piece on the excitement in Durham, by Nelson Rice;, South Bend Swagger: Why the Notre Dame women are for real, by Kenny DeJohn; How-To content with Stony Brook and U.S. national team star Ally Kennedy.
