Rachel Clark set Women’s Lacrosse League (WLL) single-game records with nine goals and 11 points for the Boston Guard against the Maryland Charm on July 17, 2026, in Fairfield, Connecticut. She added two assists in Boston’s 21–17 loss. The league’s July 23 Player of the Week report identified the 11-point scoring record; its August 6 follow-up explicitly recognized both the goals and points marks.

What the record counts
“Scoring record” can mean goals scored or total individual points. Clark established a mark in each category in the same game.
| Statistic | Clark’s total against Maryland | Record status reported by the WLL |
|---|---|---|
| Goals | 9 | Single-game goals record |
| Assists | 2 | Part of her points total; not identified as an assists record |
| Individual points | 11 | Single-game points record |
The calculation is 9 goals + 2 assists = 11 individual points, matching the league’s published 9G, 2A line. Those 11 points are not 11 goals and are not Boston’s team score. Her nine goals accounted for nine of the Guard’s 17 goals; the assists recognize her contribution to teammates’ finishes. (Published scoring line)
For comparisons involving other leagues, the distinction between individual production and scoreboard scoring matters. Our guide to how lacrosse scoring stats are counted explains the goals, assists and points labels.
Keep the 10-versus-10 format attached
The proper context is the 2026 WLL regular season, played in the 10-versus-10 format. The league’s schedule announcement distinguished that summer competition from the WLL Championship Series, which used Olympic Sixes. The WLL had debuted in Sixes in 2025 before launching its first full season in 2026. (Official season announcement)
Although the league reports called Clark’s performance a WLL single-game record, comparisons should retain that competition label. It is not an NCAA, box-lacrosse or international Sixes record, and the reports do not provide a previous record-holder or a cross-format historical table.
The 20-point figure was a season snapshot
Clark’s 20 points through three games were a different statistic—not the single-game record and not her completed season total. As reported August 6, that total tied Maryland’s Brigid Duffy and Ashley Humphrey for the league lead, while Clark’s 16 goals led the WLL. (August 6 scoring update)
She subsequently recorded three points—two goals and one assist—in Boston’s August 8 finale against California. Adding that scoring line to the earlier three-game total gives 23 points across Boston’s four-game regular season, separate from her 11-point single-game record. (Finale report)
