JEJU ISLAND, Korea – Duke junior goaltender
Patrick Jameison and the United States U20 Men's National Team have gone through multiple training camps and recently capped a staging camp in San Diego in preparation for the 2025 World Lacrosse U20 Championship set to begin Aug. 15.
The U20 squad is in Pool A with Canada, Haudenosaunee and Australia. The United States opens play in Seogwipo on Jeju Island Aug. 16 at 11 am (Aug. 15, 10 pm ET) against rival Canada. The team takes on Haudenosaunee Aug. 17 at 11 am (Aug. 16, 10 pm ET) and rounds out pool play versus Australia Aug. 19 at 4 pm (Aug. 18, 3 am ET).
The quarterfinals take place Aug. 21 (Aug. 20 ET) with the top four teams earning a bye to the round and taking on winners from play-in games Aug. 20.
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.
Jameison aims to join a list of 11 other Blue Devils who have won gold with a U19 or U21 squad, including associate head coach
Matt Danowski in 2003. 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.
The entire event will be streamed on
WL TV, with an event pass starting at US$35.
