England defender Emily Nalls has been named as part of Team Izzy who will take on Team North in the first ever Women’s Lacrosse League (WLL) All-Star Game in Kansas City, USA, tomorrow morning (5 July).

Nalls comes into this game after helping her California Palms team finish third in the inaugural WLL season earlier this year.

She first pulled on the England jersey during the 2022 World Lacrosse Women’s Championship in Maryland, USA, where she helped secure an historic third-place finish.

At college, Nalls played and started in all 88 games during her college career at North Carolina, graduating as one of the best in the programme’s history and holding the programme record for single-game ground balls; she won a national championship with the Tar Heels in 2022.

She once again featured for England at the 2025 Home Internationals Series in Largs, Scotland, in April.

The WLL All-Star Game is part of the 2025 All-Star Weekend that will also see a huge clash between the men’s PLL Eastern and Western Conference All-Stars on Saturday (5 July).

The WLL is the women’s arm of the Premier Lacrosse League (PLL), the brainchild of lacrosse legend Paul Rabil.
