USC Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach Lindsey Munday Elected Team Captain Of US Women’s Lacrosse National Team

Posted on July 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

Lindsey Munday was elected team captain of the U.S. Women’s Lacrosse National Team by the 24-player traveling team that will face Canada and the Haudenosaunee in this weekend’s North American Challenge Cup in Oshawa, Ontario.

“It’s a huge honor. I’m so fortunate to be a part of this team. I think everyone feels that. We’re all so lucky to represent our country, and it’s crazy surprising that I was voted [captain],”Munday said.

Munday is currently coach at the University of Southern California in addition to her role with Team USA. As a college player, she was a two-time NCAA champion at Northwestern in 2005 and 2006 and a Tewaaraton finalist in the same years. Munday holds the Wildcats’ career assists record (128), and served as an assistant at her alma mater between 2007 and 2010, during which time Northwestern won three more NCAA championships.

“Lindsey’s a great player and a great leader, which makes for a terrific captain. DJ’s a tough act to follow, but Lindsey’s more than up to the task,” Team USA coach Ricky Fried said.

DeJuliis presented Munday with an official captain’s armband, which Munday jokingly tried to fit over the cast that currently encases her left wrist. Munday broke her wrist during an unlucky fall while training for the North American Challenge Cup, but even without her dominant hand, she still made her presence known well enough that her teammates chose her as their leader.

Team USA Women’s U-19 Lacrosse Defeats Australia 14-11 On Aug 13 To Win 2011 FIL U-19 Women’s World Lacrosse Championship

Posted on August 13, 2011 | 2 Comments

Team USA Women’s U-19 Lacrosse defeated Australia 14-11 to capture the 2011 FIL U-19 Women’s World Lacrosse Championship in Hannover, Germany.

 

Covie Stanwick (Notre Dame Prep) and Cortney Fortunato each scored twice and Jen Cook (McDonogh) added a free-position shot with about 10 minutes left to polish off the five-goal run and give the U.S. a 12-8 lead.

Stanwick and Fortunato finished with three goals each and goalie Kelsey Duryea made some terrific saves in leading the U.S. to its fourth straight win over Australia in the title game. The U.S. (8-0) has lost only one game in the five U-19 world championship tournaments — to Australia in the final at the inaugural event in 1995 in Haverford, Pa.

Team USA Women’s U-19 Lacrosse Defeats Australia 20-7 In 5th Round Of 2011 FIL U-19 Women’s World Lacrosse Championships; Advances As #1 Seed Into Medal Round

Posted on August 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

In its fifth and final game of the round robin stage, the U.S. raced to a 20-7 victory over Australia at the 2011 FIL Under-19 Women’s World Championship, securing the No. 1 seed for the medal round. Attacker Cortney Fortunato led all scorers with five goals.

 Madison Acton won Player of the Game honors, thanks to her three goals, two assists and solid transition play.

Playing against one of the toughest opponents in the field, and a traditional rival, the U.S. racked up its most goals in a single game for the tournament. Defensively, the Americans held the Australians to their lowest total of these World Games.

The game was played in an unseasonable downpour, but there was no dampening of Team USA’s spirits.

“It was a great display of lacrosse. We knew Australia was going to be very good and athletic, and they have a great coaching staff with Trish and Jen Adams,” said head coach Krystin Porcella. “Offensively, we were working our lanes to goal, and defensively, we were trying to encourage our players not to let that easy pass behind to disrupt what they wanted to do.”
