Radnor High School senior Hannah Proctor was recently named a member of the 18-player roster for the 2015 U.S. Women’s National Lacrosse Under-19 Team, which will defend gold at the Federation of International Lacrosse (FIL) Under-19 World Championship this summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Selected as a defender, Hannah is one of just four members of the team from Pennsylvania.

The team was selected from a 25-player pool that advanced through a three-day, 100-player tryout in August. The training team competed together in October and, most recently, this past weekend in Naples, Fla., at the US Lacrosse Champions Challenge, where they defeated Stetson University and Rollins College 16-1 and 17-1, respectively.

“This talented group demonstrated incredible mental toughness, unselfishness, hard work and commitment throughout the demanding tryout process,” said Head Coach Kim Simons. “Our coaching staff is looking forward to working with this amazing team of young women as we continue on our journey to win gold in July.”

Team USA will compete for a fifth consecutive world title at the FIL Under-19 World Championship, July 23-Aug. 1 in Scotland. The U.S. has claimed the past four gold medals in 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011, most recently defeating Australia 14-11 in Hannover, Germany, in July 2011.

Hannah has committed to play lacrosse at Notre Dame next year.
