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.
USA Lacrosse is excited to celebrate the sport of lacrosse this fall from Nov. 6-14, 2021. National Celebrate Lacrosse Week will offer daily themes throughout the event to bring the lacrosse community together virtually and in person to help showcase this special game.
Part of this initiative is to make the sport of lacrosse more welcoming, diverse and inclusive. We welcome all individuals from every walk of life to come and experience a sport that has so much opportunity for all youth.
After a successful run in 2021, the USA Lacrosse Youth Nationals are returning to DE Turf in Frederica, Del., in 2022. This event will be for girls’ programs only again this year, with potential to expand to include boys’ teams in future years. Applications for next year’s tournament, comprised of 13U, 14U and 15U girls’ teams from the country, are now being accepted for the event which will take place from July 12-13, 2022.
