World Champions! U.S. Downs Canada for Gold Medal

TOWSON, Md. – For the fourth-consecutive time – and the first on home soil – the United States has been crowned world champion.

Led by U.S. Women's National Team head coach Jenny Levy, Team USA posted an 11-8 victory over Canada in the gold medal game of the 2022 World Lacrosse Women's World Championship in Towson, Maryland, to finish the tournament undefeated at 8-0.

Now owning nine of 11 titles, the U.S. has been the most dominant team in women's world lacrosse championship history since the event was first held in 1982.
