Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Back on Top
The U.S. women brought home the championship from the Super Sixes – Canada event with an 8-7 victory over the hosts on Sunday. Canada had defeated the U.S. 14-10 in pool play and led the U.S. 6-3 at halftime in the championship before the U.S. rallied.
Dempsey Arsenault put the U.S. up late and then Taylor Moreno made two huges saves to preserve the victory.
BOUNCERS WILL GO. DEMPSEY WOMAN-DOWN.
