Gators LAX standout on 2024 U.S. Women’s U20 National Team Roster

Florida lacrosse midfielder Kaitlyn Davies was among 22 players selected to represent the United States at the 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship this summer, head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller announced on Tuesday.

The final roster was trimmed down following a three-day training camp comprised of 32 qualifying women’s lacrosse players at the USA Lacrosse headquarters in Sparks, Maryland. The team’s next training camp will be held at Northwestern University from July 18-20, before one final brief camp in August in Northern California.

The 2024 World Lacrosse Women’s U20 Championship will take place in Hong Kong from August 15 to 24.

“I could not be more excited at the selection of our U20 national team that will compete in the world championship in Hong Kong,” said Amonte Hiller. “We have chosen a group of 22 tremendously talented young women that work extremely well together.

“This is an exciting time for USA Lacrosse and we are so grateful for this group to have the opportunity to wear the red, white and blue and compete in this extraordinary tournament.”

Davies, a rising junior at UF, was a Second Team All-AAC selection, and an IWLCA All-Region Second Team performer this past season for the Gators. She played in 22 games, starting in 21 of them, totaling one goal, 13 ground balls, eight caused turnovers and 15 draw controls, helping anchor the nation’s seventh-best scoring defense.
