CALGARY The National Lacrosse League is abandoning plans for a shortened spring season and will instead focus on starting a traditional season in the fall. A date for the start of the fall season has not been decided. The move to halt spring plans was announced Wednesday. “We have gone through many scenarios, including playing a bubble season in Canada in April, but the logistical challenges, including the recently announced tighter travel and quarantine restrictions across the Canadian border have required us to pivot, said NLL Commissioner Nick Sakiewicz. We have decided to focus on playing a full season in our markets, starting in the fall of this year. While many of the factors we can control were moving along well, those outside of our control, especially pertaining to obtaining government approval as far in advance as we would have needed, are no longer feasible.

Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Megan Gianforte is used to robbing opposing shooters, but did you know she robbed a bank?
Well, not literally. Gianforte, Richmond’s star goalie, shared more about her FBI internship last summer and the outlook for the 2021 season.
2. Griffin Westlin is poised to be the quarterback of the Notre Dame offense in 2021.
Westlin, the lefty feeder, is looking to become the next star on the Irish offense. It will help to have faceoff man Kyle Gallagher in from Penn to win Notre Dame more possessions.
