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. 

More from a press release via Syracuse Athletics: 

Carney recorded a team-high seven points to lead No. 3 Syracuse to a 12-11 victory against No. 4 Stony Brook on Sunday. After the Seawolves had taken a 9-8 lead in the third quarter, Carney scored a goal and then assisted on another to spark a 4-0 'Cuse scoring run that gave the Orange the lead for good. She also added two ground balls.

The McKinney, Texas native has 14 points this season and leads the Orange with six assists. Her four assists against Stony Brook were one shy of her career high.

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.
