Levy Puts Up Two Points In Emphatic Game 1 Win At U20 World Championship
August 16, 2024 | Women's Lacrosse
HONG KONG – Kate Levy had a goal and an assist to help the U.S. U20 National Team secure an emphatic 32-0 win over Germany in the first game of pool play at the 2024 World Lacrosse Women's U20 World Championship in Hong Kong on Friday.Â
Levy, one of just two incoming college freshmen representing the stars and stripes, also had one draw control and two shots on goal. She was named the High School Girls' National Player of the Year by USA Lacrosse earlier this summer.Â
The complete box score can be found here. Team USA will continue pool play on Saturday, Aug. 17, with a matchup against Puerto Rico.Â
The 2024 Women's U20 World Championship is the first world championship of any kind to be held in Asia since 1997 and the first World Lacrosse event to use the new under-20 age designation for junior-level competition. The 10-day, 20-team tournament officially started on Aug. 15 after the opening ceremonies on Aug. 14. The championship game will take place Aug. 24.Â
Team USA has won five of seven women's junior world championships, reclaiming the gold medal five years ago in Ontario. Three former Tar Heels in Elizabeth Hillman ('23), Brooklyn Neuman ('23) and Caitlyn Wurzburger ('24) were on the team in 2019.Â
The United States is ranked No. 1 in the world.
