Dialed In: Your Lacrosse Fix for Tuesday, June 13

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

1. USC women’s lacrosse has a new home.

USC will break ground on Rawlinson Stadium, a $38 million project, later this year. The facility offers 2,200 fixed seats and includes new facilities for the teams that will call it home — women’s lacrosse and women’s soccer.

The project is expected to be finished for the 2025 season.

2. Johns Hopkins bolstered its defense on Monday.

Per Inside Lacrosse’s Ty Xanders, the Jays picked up former Cornell All-American Chayse Ierlan, a graduate transfer in the cage looking for a new home after four years at Cornell.

On top of that, Hunter Chauvette — a highly ranked high school senior — flipped his commitment from Yale to Hopkins. Xanders said that Chauvette is a lefty who can shoot like Mac O’Keefe.

3. Dan Dawson is set to retire.

The 21-year NLL veteran played 322 games, the most ever, in his illustrious career. He ranks fourth in career points and first in career assists, but most importantly, he’s a three-time NLL champion.
