U.S.A. and Canada Win to Advance to Championship; Australia and England to Play for Bronze

Results, Standings and Friday’s Finals-Round Schedule
U.S.A. SHOWS DOMINANCE TO ADVANCE TO FINALS
The United States showed dominance with an aggressive and attacking offense and a smothering defense to defeat Australia, 21-6, to advance to the championship game Saturday at the World Lacrosse Women’s U19 World Championship in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada. 
“I think we knew we were going to be tested like that after playing the first game we had with Australia,” said U.S. defender and co-captain Ally Murphy. “We knew the type of offense they had and I think we did a pretty good job of pressuring them.”
The United States got off to a fast start before Australia rallied behind Madison Copeland’s score on a free shot. Her goal ended a string of 133 scoreless minutes by the United States’ defense, which dated back to Sunday’s win over Canada. The U.S. blanked Hong Kong and Wales in its first two playoff games.
The second quarter was played in a heavy rainstorm for much of the 15-minute period. The teams went back-and-forth before a late goal by Caitlyn Wurzburger gave the U.S. a 9-4 lead heading into halftime. The U.S.A. took control in the second half, slowly pulling away and outscoring Australia 12-2 in the second half.
“It’s so awesome. This is something we’ve dreamed of since we were little kids, being in the World Cup championship,” said U.S. midfielder Kasey Choma.
Izzy Scane, Belle Smith and Wurzburger combined for 14 goals to lead the United States. Wurzburger leads the team with 37 points in the tournament.
“Australia is a tough team,” said U.S. head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller. “They really battled and they challenged us. We needed that. I thought we played better in the second half. Our pace of play was much better. I’m excited with the momentum we gained in the second half.”
The U.S. won 23 of 30 draws in the match, led by Jenner’s 14 while goalies Madison Doucette and Rachel Hall each made four saves each while splitting duties.

CANADA COMES FROM BEHIND TO DEFEAT ENGLAND AND ADVANCE

Team Canada, behind the thunder of the home crowd, rallied from a 7-5 deficit, scoring the last five goals to defeat England, 10-7, to advance to the championship game at the World Lacrosse Women’s U19 World Championship in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.
The game was tied 2-2 after the first period in one of the most intensely fought contests of the entire tournament. By half-time, England had pulled ahead 5-4. England led 7-6 mid-way through the second half before Canada started its rally.
