Syracuse Blows Out Virginia Tech to Stay Undefeated in ACC Play /

Syracuse women's lacrosse fell behind 2-0 at #24 Virginia Tech Saturday afternoon, but showcased why it is considered a national championship contender after that. The Orange outscored the Hokies 14-1 over the rest of the first quarter and the subsequent two quarters on its way to a 17-5 victory. With the win, Syracuse improves to 7-2 (4-0) while Virginia Tech falls to 7-4 (2-2). Next up for SU is a return home to face Temple in the Carrier Dome on Saturday, March 26th. The Orange closed its three game road trip, all against ranked opponents, 2-1.

It was the Megan and Meaghan show for Syracuse on Saturday as the Hokie defense had no answer for either. Megan Carney had eight points on three goals and five assists while Meaghan Tyrrell contributed seven points on four goals and three assists. Emily Hawryschuk led the Orange with five goals, as many as the entire Virginia Tech team. Hawryschuk moved into third on the Syracuse all-time goal scoring list during the game.

Syracuse was also dominant in draw controls, winning 20 of 26 face-off opportunities, losing only two after the first quarter. That allowed the Orange to play make it take it in order to seize control of the game. Goalie Kimber Hower had four saves on nine Virginia Tech shots.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
