Baltimore — A total of 42 players were named to the United States Women's Elite and Developmental lacrosse teams for 2002-03 as announced by US Lacrosse, the national governing body for the sport. Twenty players were named to the Elite team and 22 were named to the Developmental team.

A total of 86 players participated in the tryouts at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa., from Aug. 3-4. U.S. Elite head coach Sue Stahl (current head coach at Old Dominion) and U.S. Developmental head coach Sue Murphy (current head coach at Richmond) and a committee of selectors made the final decisions.
