‘Meg Show’ shines in Syracuse women’s 19-5 win over Louisville
Updated Apr 16, 2021;
With 82 seconds left in the first half of a women’s lacrosse game between No. 3 Syracuse and No. 15 Louisville, the Orange’s Meaghan Tyrrell intercepted a pass and sprinted downfield toward the opposing net. Just inches away from the crease and possibly her fifth goal of the day, Louisville’s Sarah Blalock decided a yellow card was better than letting Tyrrell score again.
She stayed down on the turf holding her face as Emily Ehle and Megan Carney frantically waved for the trainer. Seconds passed at a molasses pace, and things didn’t look good for the team’s current top player. But the Syracuse sideline breathed a collective sigh of relief when Tyrrell stood up and jogged off the field of play.

Just when it looked like Syracuse had done enough to erase its four-goal deficit from early in the second half, Ashlyn McGovern launched a low shot that rippled the back of the Orange net, restoring a two-goal lead for Virginia.
Moments later, though, the Orange offense came to life and flipped the game for good. From behind the goal, Megan Carney fired a pass into traffic which landed in the stick of a Virginia defender. Midfielder Sierra Cockerille pressed the defender and tipped the ball back in the air, where sophomore Emma Tyrrell snagged it and dunked the ball into the net.

This was what you call a “get-right” game.
Before returning to Central New York following their shellacking at the hands of No. 1 North Carolina over the weekend, the Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse team (7-1, 4-1) stopped over in Washington DC on Tuesday to take out their frustrations on the Georgetown Hoyas, 15-10, in a game that wasn’t remotely that close.
The ladies came out with a vengeance, scoring early, often, and with authority against the completely overmatched Hoyas.
