World box lacrosse championships taking place in Utica, New York
When Rory Rothnie and Iandra Lamplugh were teammates with the Claremont Secondary Spartans, they couldn’t have imagined they would be on opposing sides of the ball at the 2024 world women’s box-lacrosse championship in Utica, New York, with dreams of doing the same in field sixes at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Her dad’s English heritage came in handy, however, as the defensive and transition player Iandra Lamplugh is among two Canadians on the England roster at the world championships, qualifying through family birthright, and contributing two goals and an assist as the English side went 2-2 in pool play to advance to play Australia today in the quarter-finals.“They play the box game with a field style. Canadians still have more box-lacrosse IQ because we’ve played the game forever.
Lamplugh and Rothnie, both 19, were standouts for the Spartans at Claremont and won the silver medal together on Team B.C. at the 2022 Canada Summer Games in the Niagara Region. Lamplugh now helps coach the Spartans while Rothnie went on play in the Ivy League and is heading into her U.S. collegiate NCAA Div. 1 sophomore season at Brown University, where she is studying architecture and urban design and planning.
