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

1. Athletes Unlimited Week 2 draft picks are in.

With the first pick in the week two Athletes Unlimited draft, she selected former UNC teammate, midfielder Ally Mastroianni. Sam Apuzzo selected midfielder Ally Kennedy with the second pick. Britt Read and Lizzie Colson selected midfielders Demsey Arsenault and Katie O'Donnell, respectively, with the third and fourth picks. See the complete list of teams for week two, which begins Thursday at USA Lacrosse Headquarters, and read Kenny DeJohn’s AU weekly notebook.

2. Anderson Moore leaves no stone unturned in 2023 Adrenaline All-American Game.

3. Olivia Ripple shines in high-scoring 2023 Adrenaline All-American Game.

The Denver women are known for their defense. But Pios commit Olivia Ripple was named MVP of the 2023 Adrenaline All-American Game for her four-goal performance that led the North to a 14-13 win. Who else shined? Richman shares more.
