As the global pandemic brought about by the COVID-19 virus continues to disrupt the international sport calendar, World Lacrosse has made the decision to postpone its two World Championships originally scheduled for 2021 by one year and will instead stage the events in 2022.
In a unanimous decision by the World Lacrosse board of directors, taken Tuesday during its regular monthly meeting.
The World Lacrosse Women’s World Championship is being postponed from 2021 to 2022. The event will still be held as previously determined in Towson, Md., at Towson University. The dates for the rescheduled event are to be confirmed, but likely will be late June/early July 2022.
Of the 50 candidates selected to try out for the U.S. team that will compete at the Women’s World Championship, a dozen have strong ties to New England, including former Boston College standouts Kenzie Kent (Norwell, Mass.), Dempsey Arsenault (New Hampton, N.H.) and Tewaaraton Award winner Sam Apuzzo.
