🥍 Note from the Publisher. I thank you for your interest and support of D3Lacrosse. The response from coaches and fans has been positive and I hope to grow the newsletter and the website moving forward. But to do that, I need to make a significant change.
Beginning Monday, the D3Lacrosse newsletter will move to a paid subscription model. Mondays will continue to be free for all, but to receive access to the newsletter Tuesday-Friday will require a subscription.
The subscription fee will be nominal for what will be 22 editions per month - $7.99 per month or $19.99 for the season.
The time and effort that goes into producing a daily newsletter for DIII lacrosse is extensive and I ask that you support us with a subscription to allow us to continue to bring you the best in DIII men’s and women’s lacrosse information.
