The third ranked Syracuse Orange women's lacrosse team knocked off its fifth ranked opponent of the season with a 17-11 win at #14 Virginia on Saturday. The Orange improved to 6-1 (3-0) with the victory. Syracuse remains on the road for its next game when it faces Florida on Wednesday as the second leg of a three game road trip. 

Syracuse jumped on the Cavs early, scoring three straight goals after Virginia tied it at two in the first quarter. Trailing by three, Virginia attempted to get back in it with two straight to start the second. The Orange, however, put any notion of an upset to bed after that, notching five straight scores to take a five goal lead into halftime. 

The Orange would cruise the rest of the way, as the Cavs would get no closer than three in the second half. Meaghan Tyrell led Syracuse with five goals, including a back to the goal, over her shoulder score late in the fourth to cap off the afternoon. She had six total points while sister Emma had five points on three goals and two assists. Sam Swart, who was added to the Tewaaraton Watch List this past week, had three points. 

During the win, Emily Hawryschuk moved into fourth place on Syracuse's all-time scoring list with her 227th goal. She passed Alyssa Murray to do so. Current Orange head coach Kayla Treanor is the all-time leader with 270.

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.
