2019 Men’s College Lacrosse Year In Review: #34 Villanova Wildcats.

Season Summary After just reaching the NCAA Tournament in 2018, Villanova looked to build on that success and take it a step further. With the Big East a little more open than it had been, it was a prime opportunity for the Wildcats to get the conference’s automatic qualifier.

Like last year, Villanova began the season on the road against Penn State. But unlike 2018’s meeting, the Wildcats fell to the Nittany Lions by 10 goals. But ‘Nova rebounded quite well with a road overtime victory against defending champion Yale for their first win of the season. The following week was another overtime victory, this time at home against Hofstra, but the Wildcats needed to make a fourth quarter comeback after allowing all six goals in the third. A win over Delaware put ‘Nova at 3-1 entering the Philly 4 Lacrosse Classic.

From Bloomberg’s Scott Soshnick: New Balance Inc.’s Warrior brand terminated its contract with Paul Rabil.

Starting the Premier Lacrosse League may have cost Paul Rabil his most lucrative endorsement deal. New Balance Inc.’s Warrior brand terminated its contract with the 33-year-old Rabil, saying he violated terms of their multimillion-dollar deal by wearing a uniform from Adidas -- the new league’s apparel sponsor -- during practice and games. The move may reflect lingering acrimony between Rabil’s upstart PLL and its main competitor, Major League Lacrosse.

This is kind of horrifying: Study says 28% of delivery drivers have eaten your food.

The smell of a mouthwatering meal is hard to ignore — especially when it belongs to someone else. At least that’s the suggestion of a recent study that found nearly 30% of drivers are snacking from the food they’re responsible for delivering. The survey conducted by US Foods, which supplies food to restaurants, gathered information from about 500 food delivery drivers and more than 1,500 customers in America who order through apps such as DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub and UberEats.
