SPARKS, Md. – Duke junior goaltender
Patrick Jameison has been selected to the final 22-player roster that will represent the United States in the 2025 World Lacrosse Men's U20 Championship. The 20-team event takes place from Aug. 15-24 on Jeju Island, Korea.
United States U20 head coach Shawn Nadelen and his staff finalized the 22-player roster following a final training camp at Cornell University. The coaching staff had five opportunities in all to evaluate the nation's top young players.
Jameison is a two-year starter in goal for the Blue Devils, amassing a 25-12 record over the two seasons. In 2024, Jameison became the first true freshman to start between the pipes for Duke since 2010. He finished the campaign with 196 saves to rank seventh in Duke single-season history.
This past season, the native of Devon, Pennsylvania, dropped his goals against average to 9.73 and upped his save percentage to .534 to earn All-ACC honors for the first time. For his career, Jameison sports a 9.99 goals against average and a .533 save percentage with 382 saves.
The United States roster includes four two-time USILA All-Americans – Owen Duffy (North Carolina), Shawn Lyght (Notre Dame), Anderson Moore (Georgetown) and Brady Wambach (North Carolina) – among its 18 collegiate players and four of the top high school seniors from the Class of 2025. The 22-player roster includes representation from 15 colleges and players from high school programs in nine different states.
The U.S. will open its schedule on Aug. 16 with a pool play game against Canada, and will also have pool play games against Australia and the Haudenosaunee. All four participants from Pool A will automatically advance to the quarterfinal round of the playoffs which begin on Aug. 21. The gold medal game is scheduled for Aug. 24.
The United States has won each of the previous nine World Lacrosse men's junior field championships, most recently in 2022 when it defeated Canada 12-10 in the championship game in Limerick, Ireland, behind the exploits of all-world team members Graham Bundy Jr., Liam Entenmann, C.J. Kirst and Duke's
Kenny Brower and
Brennan O'Neill.
This is the first time this event has been held in Asia since 1996, when the U.S. U19 team defeated Australia 13-8 in the championship game in Tokyo.
