U.S. Completes Pool A Play Undefeated, Secures Top Seed
TOWSON, Md. — Four years ago, Jenny Levy nearly lost in her debut as head coach of the U.S. women's national team.
The U.S. trailed then-defending NCAA champion James Madison, 9-8, in the USA Lacrosse Fall Classic on Oct. 6, 2018.
That's when Taylor Cummings took over, scoring four goals and securing 12 draw controls to lead the Americans to a 14-10 victory. Levy thanked Cummings afterward.
Cummings had that look in her eye again Monday.
Facing its stiffest test since opening night against Canada, the U.S. defeated England, 15-9, at Unitas Stadium to complete pool play undefeated and clinch the No. 1 seed in the championship bracket of the World Lacrosse Women's Championship.
