"This was the most competitive selection camp in the Irish Women's National Team history, both in sheer number of participants and in depth of talent and athleticism. It shows the growth of the sport and the positive direction for the future women's programme. The return of the same coaching staff also highlights a significant step for the women's team, and I am thrilled to coach alongside such decorated, knowledgable, and committed coaches," said Head Coach Sarah Walsh. She continued, "The 18 players selected bring a combination of experience, leadership, talent, and energy to the team. The eleven returners have a wealth of international experience, passion, and poise that compliment the seven newcomers' intensity, enthusiasm, and desire to compete at the highest level. This group as a whole is the most balanced team that we have ever put on the field. I am confident in our selection and excited to see what we can accomplish together."
Andersen was a member of the national team that placed fifth at the 2015 European Women's Lacrosse Championship.
Andersen helped Princeton win the Ivy League title as a freshman in 2016 and earning an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. She played in 15 games with the Tigers and had two points, eight draws, five ground balls and two caused turnovers.
