Three Cavaliers Invited to U.S. Women’s Lacrosse U20 Training Camp
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — A trio of Cavalier rising sophomores including Madison Alaimo (Attack), Kate Demark (Defense) and Kate Galica (Midfield) have been invited to a June training camp for the 2024 U.S. Women’s U20 National Team, as announced by USA Lacrosse on Tuesday (June 4).
The three Cavaliers are included in a list of 32 invitees who will train together for the first time since the Fall Classic in October, when the U.S. swept Canada and Northwestern in a pair of games.
Following the June training camp, a total of 22 players (the maximum final roster size permitted by World Lacrosse) will be invited to a training camp at Northwestern University from July 18-20. The team will then have one final brief camp at Stanford University in August before heading to Hong Kong, China for the 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship from August 15-24.
Formerly, a U19 event, World Lacrosse raised the age group to U20 after the 2019 championship in Peterborough, Ontario. Amonte Hiller was the head coach for the 2019 team and helped lead the U.S. to its fifth gold medal in the event. The U.S won the event in 1999, 2003, 2007, 2011 and 2019. Australia won the inaugural championship in 1995 and Canada won in 2015 with the U.S. finishing as the runner-up at those two events.
