Megan Carney Named IWLCA Offensive Player of the Week
Syracuse women's lacrosse star Megan Carney was named Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Offensive Player of the Week for her performance in the Orange's win over #4 Stony Brook on Sunday. Carney scored three goals and had four assists on her way to a game-high seven points as the third ranked Orange topped the Seawolves 12-11. You can watch highlights of that game in the video above.
Carney was having a superb 2021 campaign before a late season injury ended it prematurely. After an offseason of rehab, she has started the 2022 season playing at a high level. Through three games, she is second on the team with 14 points.
It is the second straight week a Syracuse player earned national player of the week honors. Meaghan Tyrrell was named USA Lacrosse Magazine's Player of the Week last week.
Next up for Carney and the Orange is the first road test of the season at #17 Notre Dame on Saturday.
