The U.S. women’s lacrosse national team invited 10 current or former Tar Heels to its upcoming training camp later this month, more than any other school in the nation.

Only 36 total players were invited to the camp, which will run from June 29 to July 1 at the USA Lacrosse Headquarters in Sparks, Maryland.

The list of UNC representatives on the roster includes: Kristen Carr (Class of 2010), Emily Parros (2013), Molly Hendrick (2017), Caylee Waters (2017), Marie McCool (2018), Jamie Ortega (2021), Kerrigan Miller (2021), Ally Mastroianni (2021), Taylor Moreno (2021) and Emma Trenchard (2021).

In addition, the current coach of the U.S. National Team is UNC head coach Jenny Levy — the program’s only head coach in its 26-year history. Levy was recently named to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2021.

Boston College and Syracuse tied for the second-most representatives, with five current or former players invited apiece.

This training camp comes following a 60-player tryout which concluded on June 11. It will be the first of three scheduled training camps and competitions for the U.S. National Team in 2021.

The team is slated to compete at the Fall Classic at USA Lacrosse Headquarters from Oct. 14-17, and will conclude the year’s events at the IWCLA Presidents Cup in Dallas from Nov. 18-21.

All of these camps and events are part of the team’s preparations for the World Lacrosse Women’s World Championship, which will be hosted by USA Lacrosse at Towson University in Maryland from June 29-July 9 in 2022 — marking the first time the event has been held in the United States since 2005. A total of 30 countries are scheduled to compete.

The U.S. has won each of the last three World Championships in 2009, 2013 and 2017.
