The United States secured their third consecutive Federation of International Lacrosse Women’s World Title with a 10-5 victory against Canada today.

It was a comfortable win for the US at the Surrey Sports Park in Guildford in England as they hit the front early on and then found themselves 8-1 ahead by the 42nd minute.

Canada battled back some pride with four of the last six goals going their way but the damage had already been done.

Sarah Bullard netted three times for the US, while her team-mates Marie McCool and Laura Zimmerman scored twice each.
