The United States will be seeking redemption on Saturday when it faces rival Canada in the 2010 Federation of International Lacrosse World Championships title game in Manchester, England.
Canada defeated Team USA in the 2006 title game and also topped the U.S. in 2010 pool play, 10-9.
The U.S. is 14-3 all-time against Canada, but the Canadians have now won two straight games in the rivalry.
Team USA advanced to Saturday’s title game with a 20-5 win over Japan, a game in which Boston Cannons midfielder Paul Rabil had four goals and an assist.
Brendan Mundorf is Team USA’s leading scorer with 15 goals and nine assists in the 2010 world championships. Rabil (13 goals, seven assists) and Mike Leveille (11 goals, 8 assists) are the next highest scorers.
Saturday’s game can be seen at 11 a.m. Eastern time on ESPNU.
