Head coach Shawn Nadelen and his staff have named the final 22-player roster that will represent the United States in the 2025 World Lacrosse Men’s U20 Championship. The 20-team event takes place from August 15-24 on Jeju Island, Korea.
Beginning with an initial tryout in June 2024, Nadelen and his staff have had five opportunities to evaluate the nation’s top young players and announced the final roster following a recent training camp at Cornell University.
The roster includes four two-time USILA All-Americans – Owen Duffy (North Carolina), Shawn Lyght (Notre Dame), Anderson Moore (Georgetown) and Brady Wambach (North Carolina) – among its 18 collegiate players and four of the top high school seniors from the Class of 2025. The 22-player roster includes representation from 15 colleges and players from high school programs in nine different states.
The U.S. will open its schedule on August 16 with a pool play game against Canada and will also have pool play games against Australia and the Haudenosaunee. All four participants from Pool A will automatically advance to the quarterfinal round of the playoffs which begin on August 21. The gold medal game is scheduled for August 24.
The United States has won each of the previous nine World Lacrosse men’s junior field championships, most recently in 2022 when it defeated Canada 12-10 in the championship game in Limerick, Ireland behind the exploits of all-world team members Kenny Brower, Graham Bundy Jr., Liam Entenmann, C.J. Kirst and Brennan O’Neill.
This is the first time this event has been held in Asia since 1996 when the U.S. U19 team defeated Australia 13-8 in the championship game in Tokyo.
