05.31.2025 was the best day of my life. Married the most amazing person I’ve ever met in front of all of our favorite people.


So let me get this straight: Teddy Bridgewater — a volunteer not even a school employee — is being suspended for helping kids and doing good in his community? Bridgewater personally covered: • $14K for training camp • $9,500 for team pride sets • $2,200/week for pregame meals…
The @WestCoastStarz 2026’s finish their club careers in style with a 10-4 win over Laxachusetts at the NLF Championships. Uncommitted middie Giacomo Chapman (@Deerfield_Lax PG) and @DartmouthMLax recruit Ross Jacobsen (@torreypineslax) had 2G each to lead a stellar team effort.

A notable @Inside_Lacrosse Transfer Tracker update: •M Mark Watters, Saint Joseph's to @PennStateMLAX Watters scored 25 goals for the Hawks last year. He'll have two years of eligibility with the Nittany Lions. insidelacrosse.com/article/di-men…
Scottie telling the whole world that none of this brings him true joy before he demolishes the rest of the field has to really sting for everyone else.
Tragedy struck the Ridgefield lacrosse team and community at large yesterday. Please keep the Gmelin family in your thoughts. theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/r…
A few D1 to DIII decisions from former Top 100 recruits: -Charlie Weitzel (D) is joining @SCMens_Lax as a grad student under new HC Sean Quirk. He last played for Yale in ‘23. - Ben Dale (A), the #86 recruit in 2024, is transferring from Providence to Franklin & Marshall. He…
27 athletic departments that sponsor men's lacrosse opted out, so 50 opted in. Among those, Johns Hopkins was one of 9 DIII departments to opt in for their DI sports. On June 10, I said I thought fewer than 33 departments would opt in. Needless to say, I'm surprised.

.@UVAMensLax just announced the hire of Connor Shellenberger as the Wahoos’ third assistant. The Charlottesville native and @PLLAtlas All-Star is the program’s all-time leader in points, a four-time First Team All-American, and a 2021 NCAA champion.

The @WestCoastStarz take the @natlaxfed Class of 2027 championship with a dominant 13-6 win over defending champ @team91lacrosse. Tripp King, Max Wong, OJ Ika ‘28, and Sawyer Bligh ‘28 all posted three points each to lead the way offensively and finish the summer with a bang.

Breaking: Saint Joseph's Taylor Wray will be named @PennMensLax's next head coach, multiple sources tell @Inside_Lacrosse. St. Joe's went 97-181 in 19 seasons before he arrived, then went 106-69 in 11 seasons since. One of remarkable turnarounds. More: insidelacrosse.com/article/breaki…
.@NDlacrosse has flipped former Cornell commit Danny Riely, a two-way midfielder for Malvern Prep (Pa.) and @teamtenlax. Ranked No. 85 in the Class of 2026, Riely is trending up after a big junior year at @MP_Lacrosse, making a sizable impact on both sides of the ball.

The PLL is hosting a 3v3 lacrosse game on a boat in Chicago—the first-ever lacrosse game on a river.
No more Big East lacrosse on wonky & overpriced FloSports. Rejoice.

.@HarvardMLax has picked up a notable commitment from former Penn verbal Nigel Strazzini ‘26, a defenseman for Rye (N.Y.) and @PredsLacrosse. Showing well for a loaded Garnets defense, Strazzini is imposing and disruptive at 6’2, 195 lbs. and plays with considerable physicality.

.@HarvardMLax assistant coach Nick Grill will step down from his role and intends to get out of college coaching, according to multiple sources. Coaching the Crimson defense for the past two seasons, the @DenverOutlaws defenseman previously coached at Vermont and Binghamton.
