Meaghan Tyrrell Becomes Syracuse Women's Lacrosse's All-Time Points Leader

Syracuse women's lacrosse star became the all-time leader in career points in Orange history on Thursday during the regular season finale against Boston College. She did so on an assist in the third quarter to extend Syracuse's lead. The assist, which was to sister Emma Tyrrell, gave her 397 career points, one ahead of former star Katie Rowan. Rowan became the second female athlete, and first female lacrosse athlete, to have her jersey retired at Syracuse last year. 

Tyrrell passed her head coach, Kayla Treanor, into second place on the list during the previous game at North Carolina in which Syracuse snapped the Tar Heels 41-game home winning streak. Tyrrell was the Preseason National Player of the Year and is one of 25 players nationally to be named a Tewaaraton Award Nominee. 

Syracuse has been ranked #1 in the country for the last several weeks and is one of only two undefeated teams left in women's college lacrosse (Denver). The Orange has also played the nation's most difficult schedule, with wins over eight ranked opponents and wins over seven teams currently ranked in the top 12. 

Syracuse should enter the NCAA Tournament as the top overall seed and will be seeking the program's first ever National Championship.

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. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
