Syracuse Women's Lacrosse Moves Up To #2 In Latest Poll

Syracuse women's lacrosse has moved up two spots to #2 in the country in the latest ILWomen/IWLCA Poll. Defending National Champion North Carolina remained at #1. The Orange did receive five out of 25 first place votes with the other 20 going to the Tar Heels. 

Syracuse had 603 total points compared to 619 for North Carolina. Those two schools meet in the Orange's final road game of the season in Chapel Hill (NC) on Saturday, April 15th. 

The Orange has started the season 2-0 behind a one goal win over then #4 Northwestern and a statement 20-11 domination of then #2 Maryland. The Wildcats are now ranked #3 in the latest poll while the Terps dropped to sixth behind Boston College and Stony Brook. 

Following two straight top five opponents to start the season, Syracuse has a bit of a break from top level competition with Binghamton on Monday. That is followed by its first road game of the season at Pittsburgh on Saturday. 

The Orange is led by Preseason National Player of the Year Meaghan Tyrrell, who had a career high 11 points in Syracuse's win over Maryland on Friday. Syracuse also has some of the most talented and deepest offensive firepower in the country.

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.
