GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING, College Crosse Nation! Thanks for making us a part of your day! Here’s everything you need to know for March 19, 2020.
College Crosse News
Before this year, the Syracuse lacrosse team had completed its season undefeated five times: 1922, 1924, 1957, 1988 and 1990. Now the Orange can add another perfect effort to this mix, but it comes with a flaw that can’t be smoothed out. Syracuse is 5-0 ... and that will be it.
An important message from OSU’s Nick Myers.
Let’s continue to come together and support each other - we’ll come out stronger as a result.

From US Lacrosse Magazine: Inside Spencer Hughes’ highlight tribute to Kobe Bryant.
The Bullis School varsity lacrosse team treated its matchup against DeMatha on March 12 as if it was its last game. “You could tell in the locker room that there was a different type of energy,” junior midfielder Spencer Hughes said. “We all knew it wasn’t just a normal game. It was something special.”
It’s the little things that you appreciate the most in these trying times.

The NCAA has not followed the initial declaration with any announcement of plans to move forward at this time, but that didn’t stop players from taking the positives from the statement. “I think it was a breath of fresh air for our guys,” Tambroni said.
We are going to have a very spicy offseason.
Love how @jamiemunro3 +Lars Tiffany openly talk on pod MAAC+NEC+D3 players that will have 5th years. “That’s where you should be watching film!”No one even knows how this shakes out yet but to assume SRS will be so eager to jump ship is a joke. Time now is to worry about your own

What’s Up, New PhilaJersey?
Philadelphia’s first plague, the Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793, began on Aug. 19, when the otherwise healthy Peter Aston died suddenly from a strange fever. Within a week, 10 people a day were succumbing to the same illness. By October, it was up to 100 a day. By the end of the year, Philadelphia had lost 10% of its population, and the city’s continued existence was in doubt.
