They will be joined this weekend by their gold medalist teammates Trevor Baptiste, Tucker Durkin, Greg Gurenlian, Will Haus and Marcus Holman.

The remainder of the 24-man U.S. team is made up primarily of players that competed on the training team leading up to the world championship and include some major stars, including 2014 U.S. team member Matt Abbott, 2018 MLL Defensive Player of the Year Matt Dunn and past Tewaaraton finalists Myles Jones, Matt Kavanagh, Connor Kelly, Will Manny and JoJo Marasco.
