Meaghan Tyrrell, Delaney Sweitzer Named Players of the Week

Two Syracuse players were honored with players of the week awards. Meaghan Tyrrell was named both the ACC's and IWLCA's (National) Offensive Player of the Week. Delaney Sweitzer was named ACC Defensive Player of the Week. It was the second straight week Tyrrell earned the dual honors. 

More from a press release from the ACC: 

Also named the IWLCA National Player of the Week for the second consecutive week, Tyrrell posted another huge game as the Orange knocked off a top-five opponent for the second straight week with a 20-11 rout of No. 2 Maryland. The native of Mount Sinai, New York, played a role in 11 of Syracuse’s 20 goals, with six goals and five assists. Her six goals came on just eight shots. She scored three goals and had two assists in the first 12 minutes as the Orange took a 6-2 lead. Five of her points came in the second half as Syracuse pulled away for the dominating victory. 

A native of Hatfield, Pennsylvania, Sweitzer made a career-high 13 saves in Syracuse's win against No. 2 Maryland. Six of her saves came against Maryland free-position attempts. Sweitzer has reached double figures in both games this season, both against top-five opponents.

Seven ACC teams are ranked in the latest IL Women/IWLCA national poll, with UNC (1), Syracuse (2), Boston College (4), Duke (10), Virginia (12), Notre Dame (14) and Louisville (23). The ACC’s seven ranked teams is the most of any conference.

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.
