Six Former Tar Heels Named To U.S. Box Lacrosse Training Team
September 20, 2023 | Women's Lacrosse
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Six former University of North Carolina women's lacrosse standouts have been named to the inaugural 2024 U.S. Women's Box Lacrosse Training Team. The team was selected following three player ID camps throughout the spring and summer.
The team will participate in three training camps this fall as it continues to prepare for the World Lacrosse Box Championships in Utica, New York, in September 2024. This is the first time World Lacrosse has hosted a women's championship in box lacrosse.
The six Tar Heels named to the roster include Kristen Carr ('10), Ally Mastroianni ('21), Taylor Moreno ('21), Melissa Sconone ('23), Caroline Wakefield ('21) and Kayla Wood ('21).
The 48-player roster includes 42 runners and six goalies. Six members of the U.S. Senior Women's National Team that have won world championship gold highlight the lineup – including Carolina's own Carr and Mastroianni – as well as Moreno, the two-time defending Athletes Unlimited champion.
Box lacrosse, also known as indoor lacrosse, can be characterized by tight spaces, fast pace and quick decision making. Played inside the confines of a multi-sport rink, box lacrosse has a distinct set of rules apart from the field game. The playing surface is enclosed by boards, usually made of wood or plastic, and each team has six players on the floor – five runners and one goaltender. Players rotate on and off the floor in shifts.
