Barrett Wins Gold as United States Defeats Canada
8/24/2024 12:24:00 PM | Women's Lacrosse
HONG KONG - The United States completed one of the most dominant runs in international lacrosse history by beating Canada 23-6 in the gold medal game of the 2024 World Lacrosse Women's U20 Championship in Hong Kong, China. It marked the sixth time in eight tries that the U.S. won the gold medal at the women's junior level and the U.S. outscored its opponents 211-20 while winning all seven of its games in the tournament.
Duke sophomore Caitlin Barrett corralled two loose balls, tallied two draw controls and caused one turnover in the winning effort. As a Blue Devil rookie, Barrett saw action in 12 games during her rookie campaign as a midfielder. The Manhasset, N.Y., native tallied a career-high four goals against Winthrop (2/18/24) and finished the season with seven goals and two assists for nine points. She also grabbed nine draw controls, three caused turnovers and two ground balls. She was one of 11 ACC student-athletes invited to the camp.
In Saturday's championship game, the U.S. outscored Canada 7-0 in the first quarter to gain early control. Canada's Avery Morton opened the second-quarter scoring, but the U.S. answered four straight goals before Morton added a second goal late in the quarter. Kate Levy closed out the first-half scoring on a goal with just 17 seconds left to give the U.S. a 12-2 lead at the break.
Canada scored three times in the third quarter, but never got the game back within single digits and the U.S. pulled away in the final quarter.
Madison Taylor, who helped spur the strong start with two first-quarter goals, paced the U.S. offense with six goals and added two assists. Emma LoPinto added five points on two goals and three assists and Madison Alaimo and Kate Levy each contributed hat tricks.
Shea Dolce made two key first quarter saves for the U.S. and went most of the way before Francesca Argentieri closed out the victory. The U.S. defense helped force Canada into 16 turnovers and Brigid Duffy had a pair of caused turnovers.
Maddie Epke won 14 of 18 draws in the game, capturing eight herself, and was named the Player of the Match.
