The player pool that will compete at the U.S. women’s national team tryouts from June 9-11 at USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Md., will be well represented during this weekend’s NCAA Division I Women’s Lacrosse Championship at Towson University.
U.S. team head coach Jenny Levy is also the head coach of No. 1 seeded North Carolina and a total of 21 tryout candidates will be participating in the NCAA championships as either an active player or coach.
The U.S. team tryouts will be the first step of another quest to reach Towson, the site of the 2022 World Lacrosse Women’s World Championship. Levy and her staff will welcome 63 of the nation’s top players for the three-day tryout that will include a one-hour livestream on Lax Sports Network on Thursday, June 10.
Former national team players Sheehan Stanwick Burch and Kristen Kjellman Marshall will co-host the show, which will feature live interviews, taped segments and an up-close and behind-the-scenes look at the best players in the world in action.
