Alberta wins U22 women’s box lacrosse national championship [Video]

Team Alberta’s U22 women’s box lacrosse team was dominant at this year’s national championship in Regina, winning the tournament for the second year in a row.

Alberta finished with a record of 6-0 and outscored their opponents 80-16, but the championship game was close until the third period.

Alberta and B.C. were all knotted at one after two periods but the third belonged to Alberta.

They scored four unanswered goals to beat B.C. 5-1. Captain Sally Friesen says it was all about teamwork.

“I haven’t played on a team like this in a long time,” she said.

“It really pulled us through in games that were close. Like our final game, we were tied for a while and then we were able to pull ahead because the team wanted it so bad and the heart was there and the energy on the bench was just so electric.”

The repeat was special
