The programs from the USA, Canada, Haudenosaunee, and Puerto Rico – the top four finishers at the Pan-American Women’s Lacrosse Championship in June – will compete once again in Maryland this weekend. USA and Canada are battling again in sixes after competing for the championship at The World Games in China last August.

Marie McCool (USA) won MVP at the event and was on the All-World team with four other players that will compete in the Atlas Cup – Shea Dolce (USA), Erica Evans (Canada), Charlotte North (USA) and Brooklyn Walker-Welch (Canada).
