No. 3 Syracuse women’s lacrosse fights off No. 13 Stanford, opens season with 12-9 win

The Kayla Treanor era is officially underway for Syracuse as the No. 3 Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse team defeated the No. 13 Stanford Cardinal on Friday night in the Carrier Dome, 12-9.

It wasn’t the prettiest performance you’ll ever see from the Orange, but they worked hard to fend off a hot goalie and eventually pull away in the fourth quarter. They improved as the game went on in all facets, especially the effort and execution of their young defense, and came away with a well-earned win in their first game.
