Two weeks ago, Emily Hawryschuk’s illustrious Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse career came to an end.
On Tuesday, the future of her lacrosse career came into focus as Emily was selected No. 13 in the 2022 Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse College Draft. She was the only Syracuse player taken in the 15-player draft.
Athletes Unlimited is a women’s professional sports organization that began operation in March of 2020 and features four different professional sports: basketball, volleyball, softball and lacrosse.
AU operates very differently than traditional pro sports. Players are not drafted onto teams, they are simply drafted into the league.
