Day three of the 2024 World Lacrosse Box Championships featured another 16 games of pool play, with 12 games in the men’s championship and four games in the women’s championship, as the playoff picture began to take shape across the board.
A trio of men’s teams bagged dramatic wins: U.S. Virgin Islands started the day with an overtime win vs. Austria; Scotland pulled off a late comeback against Jamaica, and China staged an even later comeback against Poland with a game-winning goal coming in the final seconds.
The Haudenosaunee nearly upended rivals Canada with a nine-goal comeback to tie the game in the fourth quarter, but the defending gold medalist Canada held on for the win.
The United States and Germany stayed undefeated in the women’s box championship while Australia and the Haudenosaunee bounced back for big wins.
