June 28, 2022 | Women's Lacrosse
CHAPEL HILL – Led by United States National Team head coach Jenny Levy, six University of North Carolina products will be among the 18 active players on Team USA's roster at the 2022 World Lacrosse Women's World Championship. USA Lacrosse will host the world championship from June 29 - July 9 at Towson University in Maryland.
The six Carolina players, most of any school in the nation, include attacker Molly Hendrick ('17), midfielder Ally Mastroianni ('21), midfielder Marie McCool ('18), midfielder Emily Parros ('13), defender Emma Trenchard ('22) and goalie Caylee Waters ('17).
Additionally, rising senior defender Emily Nalls and rising sophomore defender Brooklyn Walker-Welch will represent England and Canada, respectively. Â
Top-seeded Team USA will participate in Pool A with Australia, Canada, England, Scotland and Wales. Following the opening ceremony on Wednesday, the U.S. and Canada will go head-to-head at 7 p.m. ET to kick off the championship. Games will be aired on ESPN2 and ESPNU.
Seeking its fourth-straight title, the U.S. has been the most dominant team in women's world lacrosse championship history since the event was first held in 1982. Team USA has won eight of 10 titles, bringing home the gold medal in 1982, 1989, 1993, 1997, 2001, 2009, 2013 and 2017. The only times the U.S. failed to win the championship were 1986 and 2005, finishing as the runner-up to Australia on both occasions.
Originally scheduled for 2021 before being delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this will mark the first world championship contested in the United States since 2005 when the event was held at the U.S. Naval Academy. A record 30 nations are expected to compete at this summer's world championship.Â
