Canadian women fall to United States 10-5 in lacrosse World Cup final
GUILDFORD, United Kingdom — Erica Evans and Alie Jimerson had two goals apiece as Canada lost to the United States 10-5 on Saturday in the gold-medal game of the women’s lacrosse World Cup.
Dana Dobbie had the other goal for the Canadians, who limited the Americans’ high powered offence that had scored 125 goals in seven games prior to the finals.
“All you can ask of your team is to leave everything on the field and walk off with no regrets, and we definitely did that today,” said team captain Dobbie.
Saturday’s silver is Canada’s third World Cup medal in a row and fourth overall, having previously won silver in 2013 and bronze in 2009 and 1982.
