Orange to Take Part in World Lacrosse Super Sixes
10/22/2021 10:44:00 AM | Women's Lacrosse
This weekend multiple members of the Syracuse Women's Lacrosse Team will be participating in the World Lacrosse Super Sixes games. The event will be hosted at the US Lacrosse Headquarters on Oct. 23-24 on Tierney Field in Sparks, Maryland.
Six squads will gather to play in the last rounds of assessment before the final teams are announced. These rosters will play at The World Games 2022 in Birmingham, Alabama from July 7-17. The teams that will be playing this weekend are the U.S. men's and women's teams, Canada men's and women's teams, and Iroquois Nationals men's and women's teams. Each team roster has been limited to 18 and the final roster is expected to have 12 players on it.
Orange graduate student, Sam Swart, senior Meaghan Tyrrell, junior Emma Tyrrell, and sophomore Emma Ward will be representing the U.S., while sophomore Maddy Baxter will be play for Team Canada. Seniors Jalyn Jimerson and Sierra Cockerille will be representing the Iroquois Nationals. Each of these players have competed through multiple tryouts over the past few months to earn their spot on this 18-person roster.
While lacrosse has been evolving and becoming more widespread in the United States over the past 10 years, seeing it grow even further internationally has been one of the World Lacrosse goals. World Lacrosse Sixes format is different from ones that most people have either played or watched. The teams will play on a field that is 70x36 meters, which is traditionally shorter than both the men's and women's fields. The game is played in four, eight-minute quarters with only one draw or faceoff at the beginning of every quarter and 30 seconds on the shot clock. This game is made to be fast paced with less foul stoppages and substitutions run in on the fly. In that sense, this style of play is similar to box lacrosse. With this version of lacrosse being spread internationally, there is hope that this format will make the game easier to understand for those who have never played or watched before and create less specialization on the field. This meaning that each player plays both offense and defense. With lacrosse in the conversation for future Olympics, this format has been surveyed to show positive results for the new style and inclusion of this format into the Olympics. Around 14 World Lacrosse members have already embraced and introduced this formatting to their teams.
