CANTON -- St. Lawrence University first-year lacrosse player Tallis Tarbell of Akwesasne is headed to Tokyo, Japan this summer, as a member of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy National Team, which is scheduled to play at the 2026 Nissin Foods World Lacrosse Women's Championships.

The championships run from July 24-August 2.

The Haudenosaunee team will first appear in game four of Pool 'A', as they're scheduled to play the Chinese Taipei at Oi Stadium, on July 25th at 9:00 local time.

"We are so excited to see Tallis representing the Haudenosaunee National Team in Japan later in the month," said head coach Tom Ryan. "She has worked hard to earn this opportunity. Tallis is a lethal threat, with and without the ball, and has refined her technique to become an excellent riding attacker. She conducts herself with maturity and composure that is admirable. We are proud to call her a teammate and will be routing her on from afar as the tournament gets going."

Tarbell, the Liberty League Rookie of the Year, also garnered Third-Team All-Conference honors for the St. Lawrence University women's lacrosse team. She led the Saints with 44 goals and 10 assists for 54 points. She tallied four game-winning goals, picked up 16 ground balls and caused 18 turnovers, playing in just 12 games for the Scarlet and Brown. Tarbell ranked second in the Liberty League with 3.14 goals per game and seventh with 3.86 points per game.
