The rapid rise of Puerto Rico as a formidable force in the world of lacrosse is nothing short of remarkable. The focus here is on women’s lacrosse, where the National Governing Body conducted tryouts for its inaugural U19 team back in 2018. This was just one year before they were due to compete at the junior world championship held in Canada.
In their first-ever appearance at such an esteemed tournament, Puerto Rico didn’t just participate; they dominated. They went undefeated throughout the entirety of their campaign and finished within the top 10 teams globally – an impressive feat by any standard.
This success story isn’t merely about winning or losing matches though. It’s about a group of young women who are creating history for themselves and their country. Their motto: ‘Our Island, Our Story’ reflects this sentiment perfectly 🏆
They’re not simply playing a sport; they’re crafting a narrative that will be etched into the annals of Puerto Rican sports history forevermore. Each victory adds another chapter to their ongoing saga, each defeat only serves to add depth and character to it.
Their journey began with those initial tryouts three years ago when selecting players for what would become their debut U19 team seemed like an insurmountable task itself.
But fast forward to now, and you’ll find that same team standing tall among some of the best in global women’s lacrosse – all while proudly carrying forth both national pride as well as personal determination.
Their achievement has been monumental indeed but make no mistake – these ladies are far from done yet!
As we look ahead towards future tournaments, there’s no doubt that Team Puerto Rico will continue making waves both on home turf and internationally too.
And why wouldn’t they? After all, every pass made on field contributes more than just points scored during games – it writes new lines into ‘their island’s’ sporting storybook!
So let us cheer them on as they continue to forge ahead, creating their unique narrative. With every stride, they are proving that the world of lacrosse isn’t just about physical prowess but is also a testament to mental strength and team spirit.
As we watch Puerto Rico’s U20 Women’s Team create history one game at a time, it becomes clear – this story is far from over. It has only just begun!
