BALTIMORE — As competitive as the 2022 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship might have been, it felt like more of a coronation.
The United States, the eight-time titlist that had outscored its previous seven opponents by more than 13 goals per game, did enough to keep Canada at bay in the second half Saturday afternoon to complete an 11-8 victory in the tournament final at Towson University’s Johnny Unitas Stadium.
With the win, the U.S. (8-0) improved to 9-2 in championship games and captured its first title on American soil. The country’s only two setbacks in tournament finals came at the hands of Australia in Swarthmore, Pa., in 1986 and Annapolis in 2005.
