Much has been made about how this weekend marked a “changing of the guard” for the U.S. women’s national team with Taylor Cummings, Kayla Treanor and Alice Mercer retiring.

C.J. Kirst scored five goals to lead the United States past Canada 12-10 to win the 2022 World Lacrosse Men’s U21 Championship in Limerick, Ireland. It was the ninth consecutive men’s world championship for the U.S. at the junior level.

Unlike the most recent junior world championship, in 2016, when the U.S. trailed Canada by six at the half and by three in the fourth quarter before rallying for a 13-12 victory, the U.S. never trailed in this championship, but it was far from easy.
