The 36-player roster will compete in the ninth annual Champion Challenge, a US Lacrosse event, at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex in Lake Buena Vista, Fla., Jan. 24-26.
“Wearing the USA uniform is always very humbling,” remarked Carr, who is in her third season with the Blue Hens. “This team loves playing together and having an opportunity to play the top competition in the collegiate game is a great test for us.”
After defending their FIL World Cup title this past summer in Oshawa, Ontario, Carr joins Team USA in squaring off against her alma mater and the defending NCAA champion North Carolina Tar Heels, as well as NCAA runner-up Maryland over the weekend. The training squad will be split in half to compete in two contests each against the Heels and Terps.
