From USA Lacrosse
U.S. Men’s National Team head coach Seth Tierney will welcome a number of familiar faces to a training camp at USA Lacrosse headquarters from Oct. 9-11. The U.S. team is preparing for the 2027 World Lacrosse Men’s Championship in Tokyo and will have one additional camp in January following this weekend’s camp before Tierney and his staff select the final roster that will represent the United States in Japan.
The 45 players include 14 gold medalists from the U.S. National Team Program, including eight from the 2023 team that defeated Canada in the World Lacrosse Championship in San Diego – Matt Dunn, J.T. Giles-Harris, TD Ierlan, Danny Logan, Brennan O’Neill, Blaze Riorden, Michael Sowers (Upper Dublin) and Ryan Terefenko (Wilson).
Marcus Holman, a two-time U.S. national team player in field lacrosse that won gold in 2018, is also in the field along with multiple U19/U21 world champions – Dox Aitken (Haverford School), Kenny Brower, Liam Entenmann, Pat Kavanagh, Shane Knobloch (Moorestown), O’Neill and Sowers.
Brower is one of eight players in the camp that helped the U.S. qualify for the world championship with its showing at the Pan-American Men’s Lacrosse Championship in Jamaica earlier this year. He’ll be joined by A.J. Larkin, Aidan Maguire, Andrew McMeekin (Episcopal Academy), Chad Palumbo, Ben Ramsey, Luke Wierman (Henderson) and Josh Yago from that squad.
Thirty of the invited players also competed in a training camp in Charlotte earlier this year. Additional players remain in the U.S. player pool, but are unable to participate this weekend. The complete training camp roster follows:
