The tournament field is comprised of five teams: USA, Canada, Argentina, Uruguay and Guyana. Each team will play twice a day leading up to the medal round on June 27.
 
Espeland turned in a fine 2020 spring season posting a 1.611 goals against average and a .742 save percentage. She made 49 saves to just 17 goals allowed playing every minute in cage for the Catamounts.
