SAN DIEGO – San Diego State lacrosse head coach Kylee White and rising sophomore Holland Sutter are gearing up to take the field at the 2026 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship in Tokyo, Japan, beginning on Friday. For a full schedule, see below or visit worldlacrosse.sport. Games can be streamed at tv.worldlacrosse.sport.
White is no stranger to the World Lacrosse Championship, formerly the IFWLA World Cup. After representing Canada in four World Cups as a player (2001, 2005, 2009, 2013) and finishing as high as second place, the London, Ontario, Canada native returns to the world stage as an assistant coach for her former team. White helped Canada capture its first bronze medal in 27 years in 2009, followed by a silver medal in 2013. Most recently, White served as an assistant coach for the U20 National Team, helping lead them to silver at the 2024 U20 World Championships.
“Coaching Team Canada at the 2026 World Lacrosse Championship is an incredible full-circle moment,” says White. “After spending many years representing Canada as a player, it’s an honor to return and help lead the next generation of our country’s best athletes. This group is incredibly special. Coaching alongside some of the greatest minds and being surrounded by the highest level of talent, commitment and competition fuels my passion for the game and challenges me to grow as a coach every day. The experiences I’m gaining on the world stage will have a tremendous impact on what I bring back to our student-athletes at San Diego State.”
Sutter, a rising sophomore at San Diego State, joins her coach in Tokyo where she will represent Puerto Rico. Sutter has been a member of the nation’s U20 team since 2024, when she helped get her team to a fifth place finish at the U20 World Championships in Hong Kong. Sutter made nine appearances during her freshman campaign on The Mesa last season and will return to Aztec Field this spring.
“Playing for Team Puerto Rico at the World Championship this summer means so much more to me than competing at the highest level of lacrosse,” says Sutter. “For me, this is an opportunity to represent my family, my culture and a part of who I am. I carry so much pride in my Boricua heritage, and being able to represent that side of myself is something I don’t take for granted. Knowing I can make my family proud, while celebrating my roots through the sport I love, is something I’ll always hold close to my heart.”
“I’s been incredibly rewarding to share this experience with Holland as she represents Puerto Rico,” White adds. “Watching her compete on the world stage and getting to be a part of her journey is a reminder of what makes lacrosse so special; the relationships, the opportunities and the ability to connect people through the game.”
Puerto Rico kicks off pool play on Friday, July 24 as it takes on England at 11:30 p.m. PT, while Canada plays its first game against Australia at 2:30 a.m. PT on Saturday, July 25.
