From US Lacrosse
Six Philly women have made the U.S. Women’s National Team training roster. US Lacrosse released the 38-player roster for its 2014-15 team on Sunday after a three-day tryout held at Georgetown University.
Players were selected from an 81-player invite-only tryout pool and were evaluated by the U.S. Women’s National Team coaching staff, led by head coach Ricky Fried, as well as several top-level college coaches. The team will train and compete in several exhibition events in the lead-up to the 2017 Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Women’s World Cup in Surrey, England. Ultimately, 18 players will represent the U.S. as the team goes for a third consecutive and eighth overall world title.
A team-high eight players are graduates of or currently play for the University of North Carolina, with the University of Maryland and Syracuse University placing seven current and former players each.
The roster includes three former players from the Phantastix, Emily Garrity (Strath Haven, UNC grad), Stephanie Finley (James Masdison, 2015, Sacred Heart), and Taylor Trimble (Duke, 2015, Episcopal Academy). Also on the roster are ErinMcMunn (Princeton), Michele Tumolo (Syracuse, Clearview Regional) and Kasey Mock (Syracuse, 2014, Pottstown).
“We appreciate the tremendous effort put forth by this group of players this weekend,” said Ricky Fried, head coach of the U.S. Women’s National Team. “While it’s always a difficult task to select from among the most decorated players in the country, we’re excited to begin the process of defending the gold medal with this new group.”
The team will next convene for a training weekend August 1-3 at Georgetown University.
