When we look back to February of this year, the Maryland Charm were the first team to be knocked out of the Championship Series. A few short months after that, they were heading into the first-ever full season of the WLL, and their worth was questioned. But it was never a question within their own locker room.
We doubted Maryland. Combining their struggles to win at the Championship Series and many of their newly drafted players missing from training camp in April, our Power Rankings continued to list the Charm fourth of four teams leading into the start of the season.
But who doesn't love a good "prove people wrong" story?
The Maryland Charm were crowned the inaugural and 2026 Women's Lacrosse League champions after an emphatic 16-13 win over the California Palms on Saturday in Philadelphia.
If we look back at post-Championship Series press conference statements by Charm star midfielder Ally Kennedy and lead goalkeeper Caylee Waters, this inaugural championship run starts to make sense.
