Dialed In: Your Lacrosse Fix for Tuesday, Oct. 3

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

1. Xavier coach Meg Decker receives Kristina Quigley Scholarship.

Xavier head coach Meg Decker has received the Kristina Quigley Scholarship, which honors the late Seton Hill coach killed in a 2013 bus accident and helps to subsidize the recipient’s expenses to attend the annual IWLCA convention.

Decker guided Xavier in its inaugural season in 2023 while also managing a cancer diagnosis for her partner, Matt, and being a mother to a toddler. You can read the story of her season — and how the lacrosse community lifted her family — here and learn more about the scholarship here.
