Berry is one of 36 players that was selected for the training team from a pool of 110 players that participated in a three-day tryout conducted this past Sunday at US Lacrosse Headquarters.

We were looking for players that could really work together and I think they distinguished themselves with those characteristics. We're really pleased to be able to invite them to be a part of this special experience." The first training weekend for the team will be held Oct. 5-8 at the Team USA Fall Classic in conjunction with the U.S. Men's and Women's Senior Teams at US Lacrosse.
