Syracuse senior Devon Parker has been named the Epoch/US Lacrosse Player of the Week after helping the Orange to wins against Northwestern and Virginia.

In addition, she has also been honored as the ACC women's lacrosse offensive player of the week.

Parker scored all of her career-high five goals in the second half to spark Syracuse's come-from behind 16-15 win against Virginia on Sunday.

The Orange trailed by as many as nine in the first half and were down 11-4 at halftime. After Syracuse scored the last two goals of the first half, Parker tallied the first goal after intermission and capped the Orange's 5-0 scoring run to cut the deficit to 11-7.
