TEETER'S LAXERS TAKE SILVER IN WORLD LACROSSE
The United States LAX squad jumped early on the Scott Teeter coached Canadians and won the 2026 Nissan Foods World Lacrosse Championships, held in Tokyo, Japan at the Prince Chichubu Memorial Stadium....by a score of 16-4 .
Israel claimed bronze, or third place with a win over the Haudenosaunee 7-4. The win was Israel's first ever bronze medal in the event.
Canada reached the finals by knocking off the Haudenosaunee 18-5 and USA got to the finals by turning back Israel 19-7. The USA was coached by Acadia Walker-Weinstein, who is also the head coach at Boston College, won their 10th consecutive title.
I suppose you could say it was an All-ACC coaches final, too...with Teeter and Walker-Weinstein.
Boston College, as you might have expected, had a large presence of players on the USA roster with eight current or former collegiate Eagles players on the 22 player roster. North Carolina, a traditional ACC power house, had six current or former players. No UofL laxer student athletes made the USA roster. Nicole Perroni, who played for UofL, was on the Canadians roster. Kokoro Nakazawa played for Japan.
Congratulations to the USA for another gold and also to Teeter and associate coach Allison daley for their silver medal.
