On the Beat With Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse 2021 Week 4

The Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse Week Four started on a rough note as Friday's games were washed out. The league rebounded with three days of exciting games, ending earlier today. 

In Week Four, Taylor Cummings (Team Blue) and Kady Glynn (Team Purple) went 2-1, while Dempsey Arsenault (Team Gold) and Kayla Wood (Team Orange) went 1-2. Team Gold was hurt by the absence of Arsenault on the playing field due to an undisclosed illness, although she led on the sidelines.

Because of not playing, Arsenault tumbled to sixth in the overall individual standings. The new leader is Taylor Cummings. Caylee Waters, Kady Glynn and Kylie Ohlmiller occupy spots No. 2-4. Week 5 captains are Taylor Cummings (Team Gold), Caylee Waters (Team Orange), Kady Glynn (Team Blue) and Kylie Ohlmiller (Team Purple).

Kayla Treanor was the MVP of two games. Sam Apuzzo, Mira Shane and Taylor Cummings all appeared twice in the MVP Top Three for each game.
