Latch, a native of Melbourne, Australia, will be making her first appearance at a senior world championship. The 2022 Patriot League Rookie of the Year, Latch had an impressive first season with the Greyhounds, where she finished the year as the second-ranked freshman in the NCAA – and tied for 16th overall – with 38 assists and as the third-ranked freshman in the NCAA in points, with 76. She tallied at least one point in all 22 games throughout the season, including scoring in each of the last 12-straight, and earned IWLCA Regional All-America honors.
 
Morlang Sullivan, one of Loyola's most decorated women's lacrosse players, is a two-time Team Australia captain and will be making her fourth appearance at a senior world championship. Twice an All-World Team performer, she helped the Australians to a gold medal in the 2005 World Championships at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.
 
A three-time All-American at Loyola, Morlang Sullivan led the Greyhounds to back-to-back NCAA semifinal appearances in 2000 and 2001 and remains the lone Greyhound to score more than 60 goals in three-consecutive seasons (2000-02). An All-CAA First Team honoree and Loyola's first Tewaaraton Award finalist, she also broke the program's record for goals in a single game, scoring 12 vs. American in 2002, and registered more than 80 points in each of her last three seasons at Loyola. In playing all 77 games throughout her career, she graduated as the school's all-time career points leader with 288, a total that currently ranks fifth.
 
Adams, a three-time U19 Australian National Team coach, will be making her first appearance on the coaching staff for the senior team. Coaching alongside her older sister, Trish, Adams will look to bring a medal to the Aussies for the first time since 2013. As a player, Adams helped the Australians win gold at the first U-19 World Championship as a 15-year-old. She then scored more points than anyone else in captaining the Aussies to gold at the 2005 World Championships in Annapolis. At Loyola, Adams has returned the program to the national spotlight, as the Greyhounds have won eight conference championships and advanced to 10 NCAA Championships under Adams. She's been named the Patriot League Coach of the Year on six occasions and was three-times named the Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year. She's coached 28 All-Americans and 91 all-conference honorees.
 
Dobbie, Canada's most decorated player, will be played in her fourth world championships. A three-time All-World Team player, Dobbie has helped the Canadians to a medal in the last three world championships, including Team Canada's first-ever silver medal on their home soil in 2013. Team Canada repeated as silver medalists in 2017 and enter this year's championships as the No. 2 seed behind the Americans. Read more about Dobbie's impact on Team Canada.
