USA Women's National Team to Play at IWLCA Presidents Cup

By Brian Logue

SPARKS, Md. — USA Lacrosse has named the 44 players that will compete with the U.S. Women’s Senior National Team during the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Presidents Cup from Nov. 22-24 in Florida.

This will be the first training camp and competition for the U.S. women’s team since Acacia Walker-Weinstein was named the program’s head coach earlier this year. The U.S. team is building towards the 2026 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship that will be held in Japan.

The U.S. will hold a Blue-White exhibition game on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Premier Sports Campus in Lakewood Ranch, Fla., followed by a public autograph session. The U.S. women will then scrimmage Boston College the following day (Nov. 24) in a pair of games beginning at 10:30 a.m., also at the Premier Sports Campus. Admission to all of the games is free of charge.

The IWLCA Presidents Cup, one of the nation’s most prominent recruiting events, includes more than 450 teams featuring some of the top high school players in the country.

Walker-Weinstein, the head women’s lacrosse coach at reigning NCAA champion Boston College, was a two-time gold medalist with the U.S. women’s program. She was the youngest player on the 1999 U.S. U19 squad that won the world championship in Perth, Australia and then was on the 2009 U.S. women’s senior team that captured the world title in Prague, Czech Republic.

The 44 players selected for the training camp include nine gold medalists from the 2022 U.S. team that won the most recent world championship in Towson, Md. They include Sam Apuzzo, Dempsey Arsenault, Becca Block, Megan Douty, Ally Kennedy, Ally Mastroianni, Marie McCool, Charlotte North and Caylee Waters.

Nine additional players who have represented the U.S. in world championship competition were also invited — Abby Bosco (Box, 2024), Kasey Chomas (U19, 2019), Shea Dolce (U20, 2024), Emma LoPinto (U20, 2024), Ellie Masera (World Games, 2022), Taylor Moreno (Box, 2024), Izzy Scane (U19, 2019), Belle Smith (U19, 2019), Madison Taylor (U20, 2024) and Kayla Wood (Box, 2024).
