Amplo served as assistant coach with Team USA
NETANYA, Israel - Marquette University head coach Joe Amplo helped the United States Men's Lacrosse National Team to a gold medal in the 2018 FIL World Championships with a 9-8 victory over Canada in the title matchup with Canada on Saturday, July 21 at Netanya Stadium.
Amplo served as an assistant coach on head coach John Danowski's staff as the assistant primarily tasked with the defensive unit, which put up an impressive display over the course of the tournament. Marquette volunteer assistant coach Ryan Brown scored 25 during the championships, including three in the title game against Canada. Brown's tournament total was the second-highest total for a U.S. player in event history, just one away from the 26 Mark Millon scored in 1994.Â
The championship is the 10th overall for the U.S. as the two countries added another epic chapter to their storied rivalry. Canada defeated the U.S. to win the 2014 world championship in Denver and the two countries have alternated the championship since 2002 with the U.S. winning in 2002, 2010 and 2018 and Canada winning in 2006 and 2014.
