48 Players Named to 2024 U.S. Women’s Box Training Team for Inaugural World Championship

SPARKS, Md. – In a significant development for the sport of lacrosse, head coach Ginny Capicchioni and her coaching staff have unveiled the 48-player roster for the 2024 U.S. Women’s Box Training Team. These athletes were selected following an extensive talent identification process that included three player ID camps conducted from May to August. Notably, former Navy women’s lacrosse goalkeeper Ingrid Boyum (’18) has secured a spot on the roster.

This announcement marks a historic moment in the world of lacrosse as it is the first time that World Lacrosse will host a women’s championship in box lacrosse, and the U.S. Women’s Box Training Team is gearing up to represent the nation on this global stage.

The road to the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships in Utica, N.Y., includes intensive training camps this fall. All three training camps will be held at St. Luke’s Sports Center in Whitehall, Pa., on the weekends of Nov. 4-5, Dec. 2-3, and Dec. 16-17.

The training team roster comprises 42 runners and six goalies, showcasing diverse talent, including U.S. national team players in field lacrosse and current college players. Notable names on the roster include U.S. senior team gold medalists Kristen Carr, Ally Kennedy, Ally Mastroianni, Charlotte North, Kylie Ohlmiller, and Haley Warden.

In goaltending, the U.S. Women’s Box Training Team features two former U.S. 19 team members – Madison Doucette and Rachel Vallarelli – and two-time Athletes Unlimited individual champion Taylor Moreno.
