Dialed In: Your Lacrosse Fix for Monday, July 24

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

1. Let the games begin

The 2023 season of Athletes Unlimited women’s lacrosse wrapped up its opening weekend on Sunday at USA Lacrosse. Team Apuzzo beat Team Moreno 9-2 on Sunday, but goalie Taylor Moreno, last year’s Athletes Unlimited leaderboard champion is in a familiar place atop the individual standings. Moreno also showed some serious touch on her passing.

2. Hey now, you’re an all-star.

The Vets topped the Rising Stars 26-19 in the PLL All-Star game in Louisville and Will Manny earned MVP honors with a two-goal, five-assist performance on Saturday. This Blaze Riorden BTB pass to Jarrod Neumann that resulted in a two-pointer was one of many highlights.

4. New chapter to begin at Virginia.

One of the best jobs in women’s lacrosse came open this summer and Sonia LaMonica is eager to make her mark at Virginia.

5. Sisselberg is sizzling.

Mike Sisselberger has been flat out dominant in the PLL recently, but he’s not ready to give himself an “A” grade.
