The Haudenosaunee women took home the first medal ever awarded in a women’s box championship, and became the first Haudenosaunee women’s team to win a medal at a World Lacrosse Championship.

The Haudenosaunee men continued their streak of medaling in each edition of the men’s box championship, which dates back to 2003.

Elsewhere in placement play, Israel, Ireland and Finland finished strong with wins over Czechia, Japan and Germany, as all six teams landed in the top ten.

Finland and Ireland pulled out nailbiters, as did Hong Kong, China over Jamaica. The England women also secured a dramatic win over Germany for fifth place.

The final day of action in Utica features six games, with four placement matches set before the gold medal blockbusters in both championships.
