Syracuse Women's Lacrosse Moves up to 4th in Latest Polls

Syracuse women's lacrosse moved up from fifth to fourth in the latest Inside Lacrosse Women's Division I Lacrosse Poll and IWLCA Coaches Poll. The move comes on the heels of the Orange's 16-15 win over Northwestern in the season opener. The Wildcats, who were ranked fourth at the time of that game, dropped one spot to fifth in both polls. 

Syracuse entered the 2023 season with high expectations once again. One of the best programs in the sport over the last decade plus, the Orange is still looking for that elusive National Championship. Syracuse has made multiple Final Fours and played in the title game multiple times as well. Each time the Orange lost before earning the championship trophy. 

Last season, Syracuse was up and down, dealt with a lot of injuries but still made the NCAA Tournament. In the Quarterfinals, the Orange fell at Northwestern to end its season. Syracuse exacted revenge with a season opening win, but may see the Wildcats in the postseason once again. 

Preseason National Player of the Year Meaghan Tyrrell scored eight points on two goals and six assists. Megan Carney tallied four goals while Emma Tyrrell notched three goals and an assist. Goalie Delaney Sweitzer had a strong game with 11 saves.

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.
