FREDERICA, Del. — If at first you don’t succeed, try again.

That was theme of the 2022 USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals where two of the three champions enjoyed the triumphant feeling after falling in last year’s championship games.

FREDERICA, Del. — When the sun is blazing and you’re tired, sometimes it can be hard to make your dreams seem real. But for the more than 1,500 athletes competing in the USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals, all they had to do was look over and see their dream in real time.

On Saturday, Ally Mastroianni won a gold medal with the U.S. women’s national team, capping a whirlwind six weeks in which she also won a national championship with North Carolina and was a finalist for the Tewaaraton Award.

A record 90 youth girls’ lacrosse teams are set to compete in the 2022 USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals from July 12-13 at the DE Turf Sports Complex in Frederica, Del. The 90 programs represent club programs from 12 states and will compete in three age groupings — 13U, 14U and 15U.

The event, which dates to 2009, is in its second year of USA Lacrosse partnering with STEPS Lacrosse and Top of the Bay Sports to conduct the activities at the DE Turf Sports Complex. Located just 30 minutes from Delaware’s beaches, DE Turf is the largest all-synthetic sports complex in the Mid Atlantic.

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 underdog tropes trickled out of each team’s camp as the medal round neared

Australia coach Trish Adams said the team would continue to “punch above its weight.”

“Any given Sunday,” England coach Phil Collier professed.

The stark reality reinforced in the World Lacrosse Women’s Championship semifinals Thursday, however, is that Canada and the United States exist in a class of their own.

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.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – World Lacrosse Sixes is set for its debut at the global level with 16 men’s and women’s teams taking the field at the 11th edition of The World Games starting Friday at the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s PNC Field. Ninety-six of the sport’s top athletes from around the world will help make lacrosse history at the multi-sport event, which is returning to the United States for the first time since its 1981 debut in Santa Clara, California.  

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.
