The third season of Athletes Unlimited women’s lacrosse has been teased in ads in the last few days, and it appears as though the first match weekend will begin Thursday, July 20th. The format, apparently, is identical to 2022, where four teams play three games each during a weekend, a total of three doubleheaders per weekend.
At the end of play on Sunday, the four players who have the most points for ground-ball pickups, shots, goals, and saves will get to choose the next week’s teams.
As far as we can tell, all games this year, as was the case in 2022, will be at Tierney Field at U.S. Lacrosse headquarters.
We know that there are some athletes which have already been signed up for the season, including the players in last year’s recount, forward Sam Apuzzo and goalie Taylor Moreno. The two luminaries had been tied on the scoreboard headed into the final three minutes of play, and finished Matchday 12 almost level on points, but after the post-game vote and re-checking of the results, Moreno won the second-year championship by 16 points over Apuzzo.
Moreno and Apuzzo are two of 14 players who have signed on for the 2023 season, but we don’t know who else will be added as the spring and summer evolve. And we don’t know whether a certain Charlotte North will be one of them.
