Lindsey Munday was one of three Northwestern products
named to the U.S. team. |
US Lacrosse has announced the 18 women's players selected by the
coaching staff to compete for the United States in the 2009
Federation of International Lacrosse World Cup from June 17-27 in
the Czech Republic. The team was selected following the
Champion® Challege event in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., this past
weekend.
None of the 18 players selected were on the final U.S. roster for
the 2005 World Cup, when the Americans fell to Australia in the
championship game in Annapolis, Md. The most experienced
international players are Katie Chrest, Michele DeJuliis and Acacia
Walker, who were all alternates for the 2005 World Cup. Six current
collegiate players were named to the team.
The U.S. training team won all five of its games in Florida,
including coming from two goals down in the second half to beat
Japan 17-11. The U.S. team will be in action again this weekend for
the South of the Border tournament in North Carolina, an event
highlighted by games against England and Wales.
