Northwestern Lacrosse traveled to Sparks, Maryland for the USA Lacrosse Fall Classic, where it took on the Canadian and USA U-20 women’s national training teams in pouring rain last Saturday. While the defending NCAA champions beat Canada 16-7, they lost to Team USA 13-12.
Team USA was led by Northwestern head coach Kelly Amonte-Hiller, while her husband, Northwestern assistant Scott Hiller, headed the Wildcats. In addition, Northwestern sophomores Madison Taylor and Francesca Argentieri and freshman Madison Smith were playing on Team USA.
Though these Fall Classic games were just scrimmages, they still gave fans an early look at what the 2023-24 Northwestern squad could look like, as well as which U-20 players will stand out next spring.
