England fell at the quarter-final stage to reigning champions USA at the 2025 World Lacrosse Men’s U20 Championship after a 26-0 defeat on Thursday.
Colin Kurdyla and Brendan Millon scored four goals each while Timothy Shannehan scored three and created seven as the USA secured a semi-final place where they’ll meet Haudenosaunee on Friday.
England return to the field tomorrow at the slightly later time of 11:10am (UK) for a fifth place play-in game against Puerto Rico.
After a huge one-goal win over Mexico on Wednesday, England had it all to do in this quarter-final against a team who have won every edition of this competition since its inception in 1988.
And USA started with determination, hammering in 11 goals within 12 minutes of the first quarter.
Thankfully for England, USA let up slightly, allowing the young lions a little more of the ball as the game went on.
That didn’t make it any easier for England who went down 6-0, 5-0, and 4-0 in the second, third, and fourth quarters respectively.
