2005 U.S. Women's Roster

Team USA attempted to become the first country to win the World Cup on home soil, but it wasn't to be, as Jen Adams led Australia to a 14-7 victory. At that time, the 6,820 spectators in Annapolis, Md. were the largest crowd to watch a women's lacrosse game in the U.S. The two teams had tied the round-robin game 7-7, but the Aussies used a five-goal spurt in the first half to gain momentum in the title tilt and the U.S. was unable to recover. Kelly Amonte Hiller, Quinn Carney, Joanne Connelly and Jess Wilk were named to the all-world team.
