National Teams
SPARKS, Md. — Jack Kelly dropped to his knees to make the save. The stop on a breakaway helped seal a 17-16 win over Canada in the U.S. men’s team’s World Lacrosse Super Sixes opener Saturday at Tierney Field.
SPARKS, Md. — For most of their lacrosse careers, Kori Edmondson and Maggie Weisman have been on opposite sides of the fence. Two of the top-rated high school players in the country, they play for rival Baltimore-area high schools — Edmondson at McDonogh and Weisman at Glenelg Country. On the club circuit, Edmondson plays for M&D while Weisman plays for Hero’s.
This weekend they wore the same colors — red, white and blue.
SPARKS, Md. — Jenny Levy’s a fan of what she calls the “modern-day goalie.”
Her ideal netminder has handles. Stick stills. The athleticism to keep the other team guessing. Not to mention a brazen confidence to take chances out of the crease and down the field.
BROOKLANDVILLE, Md. — Trailing by four goals with less than two minutes remaining, the USA Select U18 boys’ team scored five unanswered goals to cap day one of the Brogden Cup with a wild 13-12 win over Team Ontario.
USA Select teams kept intact their undefeated streak dating back to 2019, sweeping all eight games in the U18 and U16 boys’ and girls’ competition that also included some closely contested games with the Haudenosaunee Nationals. The streak almost came to a screeching halt, however, in the final game Saturday at St. Paul’s School.
SPARKS, Md. — The jubilant crowd started early. Their cheers grew to chants and excited screams — and even the occasional shriek when a player acknowledged them — throughout the night. That’s just the vibe the U.S. women’s national team is giving off these days.
SPARKS, Md. — You would expect Rob Pannell to look perfectly comfortable playing in a U.S.-Canada game. Tim Troutner, on the other hand, should have been a nervous wreck.
Both proved equal to the task Friday, however, with commanding performances on opposite ends of the field to lead the U.S. to an 11-5 victory in the USA Lacrosse Fall Classic opener at Tierney Field.
SPARKS, Md. — The USA Fall Classic, featuring the top men’s and women’s teams from the most recent world lacrosse championships and the reigning NCAA Division I champions, will be streamed live on Lax Sports Network from Oct. 15-17.
SPARKS, Md. — USA Lacrosse has named the rosters for the U.S. men’s and women’s teams that will compete against Canada and the Iroquois Nationals during the World Lacrosse Super Sixes event on Oct. 23-24 at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md.
Sixes is a fast-paced version of the sport played on a smaller field (70 x 36 meters), with fewer players (6 v 6), a condensed game length (four 8-minute quarters) and a 30-second shot clock. This will be the first international competition for the U.S. teams using this new format.
SPARKS, Md. — It’s less than a year until the World Lacrosse Women’s World Championship and U.S. head coach Jenny Levy will use the upcoming Fall Classic to get another look at the players that will ultimately represent the U.S. in the world championship. The U.S. has won the last three world championships leading up to the 2022 event, which will be hosted by USA Lacrosse at Towson University.
