She saw time in 23 games and tallied 58 goals and 28 assists for 86 points, attempted 108 shots for a .537 percentage, 85 shots on goal for a .787 percentage, and four-game winning goals. Her assists ranked as the second-most on the team during its national championship run, while goals and points were the third highest.

The group will compete in the 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship in Hong Kong, China, from Aug. 15-24 and will be led by Northwestern head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller.
“I could not be more excited at the selection of our U20 national team that will compete in the world championship in Hong Kong,” said Amonte Hiller in the official press release. “We have chosen a group of 22 tremendously talented young women that work extremely well together. This is an exciting time for USA Lacrosse and we are so grateful for this group to have the opportunity to wear the red, white and blue and compete in this extraordinary tournament.”
