CHAPEL HILL–Ten current and former University of North Carolina women's lacrosse players have earned invitations to a training camp for the U.S women's national team to be held June 29 through July 1 at USA Lacrosse headquarters. UNC and U.S. National Team head coach
Jenny Levy made the announcement on Monday.
Of the 36 players to earn invitations, 10 are Tar Heels, most of any school in the nation.Â
Making the cut and representing Carolina are Kristen Carr (UNC '10), Molly Hendrick ('17),
Ally Mastroianni ('21),
Marie McCool ('18),
Kerrigan Miller ('21 graduate student),
Taylor Moreno ('21),
Jamie Ortega ('21),

The training camp comes on the heels of a tryout featuring more than 60 players that concluded on June 11. Any of the players invited for last week's tryout will be eligible to be invited to any of the training camps remaining in 2021.Â
This is the first of three training camps/competitions for the U.S. women's team through the remainder of the calendar year. Following this camp, the team will compete at the Fall Classic at USA Lacrosse headquarters from Oct. 14-17. The 2021 calendar wraps up with the team participating in the IWLCA Presidents Cup in Dallas from Nov. 18-21.
The U.S. team is building towards the World Lacrosse Women's World Championship, which will be hosted by USA Lacrosse from June 29-July 9, 2022 at Towson University. It's the first time the event has been held in the United States since 2005 and a record 30 nations scheduled to compete. The U.S. has won the last three world championships (2009, 2013 and 2017).
