U.S. Women
TOWSON, Md. — The home soil hex no longer haunts the U.S. women’s national team.
Marie McCool and Sam Apuzzo scored three goals each and Ally Mastroianni pulled down seven draw controls to lead the United States to an 11-8 win over Canada in the World Lacrosse Women’s Championship gold medal match Saturday at Unitas Stadium.
The U.S. led from start to finish, though never by more than four goals, in a closely contested final. Apuzzo also contributed two assists to earn Player of the Match honors.
TOWSON, Md. — The rain came and the floodgates opened.
The top-seeded United States unleashed a six-goal barrage in a downpour at Unitas Stadium, turning a slim early margin into a comfortable lead in an 18-3 victory over ninth-seeded Japan in the World Lacrosse Women’s Championship quarterfinals Wednesday night.
The U.S. will play Australia in the first of two nationally televised semifinals Thursday at 7 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2. Canada and England follow at 7 p.m.
TOWSON, Md. — Ever since Jenny Levy named the 18-player roster for the U.S. women’s national team in February, she’s been intentional about how she labels Lizzie Colson.
The 2021 national defender of the year at Maryland, Colson certainly does her fair share of work for the U.S. team on that end of the field. But don’t be mistaken. Colson is a midfielder, and she can do everything your typical midfielder does.
That includes scoring.
TOWSON, Md. — Four years ago, Jenny Levy nearly lost in her debut as head coach of the U.S. women’s national team.
The U.S. trailed then-defending NCAA champion James Madison 9-8 in the USA Lacrosse Fall Classic on Oct. 6, 2018.
That’s when Taylor Cummings took over, scoring four goals and securing 12 draw controls to lead the Americans to a 14-10 victory. Levy thanked Cummings afterward.
Cummings had that look in her eye again Monday.
TOWSON, Md. — Fast. Furious. Both ways the U.S. women’s national team wants to showcase its might during the World Lacrosse Women’s Championship at Towson University.
Both words also happen to make up the name of a movie the players watched during a two-hour, 34-minute weather delay that pushed the official start time to 10:04 p.m. Eastern Saturday night.
TOWSON, Md. — It was a sight that any Long Island lacrosse fan who watched Kylie Ohlmiller during her historic career at Stony Brook was quite familiar with.
Ohlmiller streaked through the Scotland defense Friday night at Johnny Unitas Stadium, cutting in from the right wing toward the middle. From goal line extended, Sam Apuzzo fed and hit Ohlmiller in stride.
TOWSON, Md. — A rematch of the last World Lacrosse women’s championship game had a championship atmosphere as the United States defeated Canada 16-11 before a boisterous crowd at Unitas Stadium and a national television audience on ESPN2 on the opening night of the 2022 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship.

STONY BROOK, N.Y. — Five years ago the United States women’s lacrosse team hoisted the World Cup trophy high above their heads as they celebrated in Guildford, England. It was a magical moment, but on Wednesday night, this year’s U.S. players got a taste of what could come.
The U.S. defeated a team of talented players from Athletes Unlimited 15-8 before a spirited crowd of 2,250 spectators at Stony Brook’s Kenneth P. LaValle Stadium.
