Devon Wills Named to 2026 U.S. Women's Senior Team Staff

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – USA Lacrosse and head coach Acacia Walker-Weinstein has named Devon Wills as an assistant coach for the U.S. Women's Senior National Team that will compete at the 2026 World Lacrosse Women's Championship in Japan. Dates have yet to be selected for the tournament. 
 
A three-time world champion (2009, 2013, 2017), Wills was named to the All-World Team in both 2013 and 2017, and took home the Championship's MVP honors in 2009. Winning the last four world championships, the U.S. Women's Senior National Team has won a record nine world titles dating back to 1982. 
 
Wills was elected to the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame last year prior the start of the season. Having its best season since 2011, Wills helped lead the Crimson to its third straight trip to the Ivy League Tournament, while jumping as high as No. 20 in the national polls in 2024. 
 
An Ivy League athlete, Wills studied and played at Dartmouth where she left her mark in the cage. Wills was named to the All-Ivy First Team in three of her four years as a member of the Big Green and was also a three-time IWLCA All-America Second-Team honoree. 
  
Professionally, Wills became the first female player to be drafted to the Major League Lacrosse after being selected by the Long Island Lizards. Wills was also selected by the Long Island Sound with the second overall pick in the inaugural United Women's Lacrosse League Draft. Wills led her club to the first-ever UWLX championship after posting an 8.29 GAA and a 6-1 record. Wills made eight saves in the championship game in a 13-8 victory where she was named MVP.
 
At the 2009 FIL World Cup, Wills was named Player of the Match in the team's 8-7 victory over Australia in the championship game. Wills returned as a member of the U.S. squad in 2013 and captained the 2017 team that claimed a record seventh and eighth world championships. At the 2013 World Cup, Wills started all seven games, posted a 5.58 GAA, and won Player of the Match in the 2013 championship game.
