Women's lacrosse star Charlotte North reveals superstitions that aided historic college career
Women's lacrosse icon Charlotte North had a very specific routine during her career. En route to becoming the NCAA's all-time leading goal scorer and leading Boston College to the 2021 national championship, North built a playlist that became a serious superstition. "I'm very superstitious," North said during an interview on "The Resilient Life" podcast with Ryan Manion. "I actually have to listen to a certain playlist to get ready for a game. There's a number of other superstitions that I have." And from that playlist, North even has a go-to hype song that got her prepared to play, specifically when she played from Boston College from 2021-22 after transferring from Duke. That song is the famous "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" by Dropkick Murphys. "It was our song that we would always finish with in the locker room before we walked out for a game at Boston College. And any time I hear it in the world today it just reminds me of some pretty cool moments," North said. "Getting ready for some big games, whether it was a national championship or just another rivalry game in the season." North also played on the USA women's national lacrosse team that won gold at the World Lacrosse championships in July 2022. She led the team in goals (23) and was tied for second in points (28) during the tournament. In 2024, she played on Team 1, the first ever USA women's national box lacrosse team. The USA team won gold at the World Lacrosse women's box championships in September 2024, beating Canada 10-7. She led the USA team in goals (25) and was third in points (31) during the tournament.

REUTERS/Lucy Nicholson/File Photo -The lacrosse world map expanded further east this week as Bangladesh became the 94th country to join the sport's global governing body, continuing a remarkable growth trajectory for a game set to make its Olympic return after a 120-year absence. Lacrosse will feature in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, marking its return as a medal sport for the first time since 1908. Bangladesh became the 21st member of the Asia-Pacific Lacrosse Union (APLU), which celebrates its 21st anniversary this year, and joins neighbours Pakistan and India in forming a growing South Asian presence in the sport, World Lacrosse said on Wednesday. "We're grateful for the effort of those in Bangladesh to foster a playing community, and look forward to new and exciting possibilities for competition in this region," said World Lacrosse Director of Sport TJ Buchanan. The addition marks the second new member country for World Lacrosse in 2025, following the inclusion of Armenia in February. The global governing body has enjoyed a rapid recent expansion with 21 new nations joining since the start of 2022. The APLU has been developing membership across various regions of Asia, with particular focus on creating competition opportunities for newer members in South Asia, Central Asia, and the Middle East, a development which will be showcased at the second Asian Lacrosse Games, scheduled for September in Saudi Arabia. The region is also becoming a championship hub, with the APLU set to host the next three World Lacrosse Championships – beginning with the men's U20 event on Korea's Jeju Island in August, followed by the men's and women's championships in Japan in 2026 and 2027.
