England Lacrosse is pleased to announce the England Women’s Field squad heading to the USA for the October training tour.

A 31-player roster will assemble across the Atlantic, based in the Baltimore-Washington region, for scrimmages against six NCAA D1 colleges.

Mike Molster’s side will get their first real competitive action since the Home Internationals Series back in April with the tour signifying the beginning of the squad’s run up to the 2026 World Championship in July in Tokyo.

The intense calendar has been designed to replicate the schedule of a World Championship and includes fixtures against some of the strongest college teams in the US.

The tour is headlined by a meeting with the reigning NCAA Champions, University of North Carolina, which will also prove a return for both England’s Alice Ripper who was part of the 2025 championship squad, and Emily Nalls who was also an NCAA champion with the Tar Heels back in 2022.

Prior to the UNC match up, the England squad will meet George Mason, Towson, and George Washington Universities before games against Navy, who made the NCAA Tournament bracket this year, and Maryland who have themselves won the NCAA crown three times in the last decade.

Tour previews with Mike Molster and England midfielder Emma Savage will be released in the coming days leading up to the tour while our socials and website will keep you up-to-date with all the latest from the tour in the US!

The full England squad is listed below.
