Though she was always athletic and very into sports, North only began playing lacrosse in seventh grade at 13 years old.

Every night in high school, after finishing her homework, Charlotte would go play wallball for hours against the brick exterior of the all-boys St. Mark's School.

College Career

North held the Division I record for women's lacrosse goals with 358 goals, until the record was broken by Izzy Scane in 2024.^[7]

Professional Career

Charlotte North debuted with Team USA in 2022.

North currently plays for Athletes Unlimited.^[8] She was chosen first in the 2022 draft.

She also committed to playing in the Women's Lacrosse League in 2025, a professional league created by the Premier Lacrosse League.^[9]

Personal Life

Charlotte North was born and raised in Dallas, Texas, by Kerry and Paula North. She has 3 sisters, Caroline, Claire, and Penelope, and 1 brother, William.^[3] She is a fan of the Dallas Cowboys.

North has been in a relationship with fellow Boston College lacrosse alum Ryan Smith since 2022.^[10]
