Currier, Schreiber, Sowers To Compete At World Championships
June 19, 2023 | Men's Lacrosse
The 2018 World Championships of men's lacrosse were a Princeton house divided. That will once again be the case in 2023, only this time with another member of the family also in them mix.
The 2018 final in Israel matched Tiger alums Tom Schreiber of the United State and Zach Currier of Canada. The U.S. team won that game 9-8 on Schreiber's game-winning goal just before time expired.
The 2023 tournament begins Wednesday night in San Diego, where Game 1 of the 10-day tournament matches the only countries ever to win it, the U.S. and Canada. Schreiber and Currier will again represent their respective countries, and Schreiber will be joined on the U.S. team by Princeton's all-time leading scorer, Michael Sowers.
Schreiber, by the way, was named one of the U.S. team's captains for this year's tournament, along with former Princeton defensive coordinator Jesse Bernhardt and Michael Ehrhardt.
Currier, a 2017 grad, played wth both Schreiber and Sowers while at Princeton. Schreiber's senior year was 2014, when Currier was a freshman, and Sowers' freshman year was 2017, when Currier was a senior. Currier and Sowers are currently teammates on the PLL's Waterdogs, the defending champion of the pro outdoor league.
In addition to that title last summer, Currier has also won championships in the National Lacrosse League (box lacrosse), Major League Lacrosse (the former professional outdoor league) and the World Indoor Championships.
There are 30 teams who will play 107 games in San Diego, all of which will be available on either an ESPN linear network or ESPN+. The tournament will be held at San Diego State University, with the opening and closing ceremonies, first game Wednesday and then the semifinals and medal games all to be held at the new 32,000-seat Snapdragon Stadium. The rest of the games will be held on other fields at the school, including all of the games with the U.S. and Canada at Torero Stadium.
