A rising junior midfielder at Boston College, Baker played an integral role in the Eagles’ recent run to the NCAA championship. She anchored a defensive unit that allowed just 8.43 goals per game, fourth best in Division I. Baker had 13 caused turnovers, 24 draw controls and 17 ground balls — all career highs.
Duffy is a multi-sport star at Army West Point, playing soccer for the Black Knights in the fall and competing in lacrosse during the spring. A two-time All-American midfielder, she was the only player in the country to produce 60-plus goals, 100-plus draw controls and 25-plus caused turnovers during the regular season this year.
Taylor was Northwestern’s top scorer and a Tewaaraton Award finalist as a sophomore attacker for the NCAA runner-up Wildcats. She tallied 83 goals and 33 assists, finishing as the most accurate shooter in the country at 56.5 percent.
The United States opens pool play on August 16 against Germany, and will also compete against China, Israel and Puerto Rico for a spot in the quarterfinals. All USA matches will be streamed on WLTV, World Lacrosse’s new streaming service launching at the women’s U20 championship.
