The U.S. Women’s Sixes National Team could not have drawn up a better debut than what it demonstrated Thursday at The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China.

The United States averaged a goal per minute in a 32-11 victory over Ireland to open the lacrosse competition, part of a massive multi-sport spectacle orchestrated by the International World Games Association.

The U.S. team roster was selected following a two-day training camp at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md., in June and the team just completed a three-day training camp in Los Angeles before flying to China. Ten of the 12 players on the roster also helped the U.S.

As a former collegiate player at Princeton, Bruce Lincoln credits much of his lacrosse success to the skill development he experienced as a youth player in Lutherville, Md.
