By BILL WAGNER | The Capital, Annapolis, Md. | Published: January 13, 2021 ANNAPOLIS, Md. (Tribune News Service) Many years ago, Ron Terwilliger told athletic director Chet Gladchuk about his desire to recognize the physical mission of the Naval Academy in a meaningful, tangible way. After much brainstorming and back-and-forth discussions, the two men settled on creating a facility that tell the story through artifacts, memorabilia and interactive video displays. That vision has become reality with completion of the Ron Terwilliger Center for Student-Athletes. Built as an addition to Ricketts Hall, the Terwilliger Center is a 25,000-square foot facility that celebrates the history and tradition of Navy athletics while simultaneously serving as a testament to the academy s commitment to the physical development of the entire Brigade of Midshipmen.

LOS ANGELES The Premier Lacrosse League and Major League Lacrosse are merging and will formally exist as the Premier Lacrosse League.
As part of the merger, the PLL announced Wednesday it will immediately expand to include the Boston Cannons, previously of MLL, as the league’s eighth team, under the new name Cannons Lacrosse Club. The team’s roster will be selected through an expansion draft in 2021. The PLL will retain the rights to all the former MLL teams for future expansion considerations.
Paul Rabil, who co-founded the PLL with his brother, Mike, in 2019, called the merger “a massive step forward for professional lacrosse.”
