Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Syracuse got its answer — former All-American Kayla Treanor is coming home to lead the school’s women’s lacrosse program. Treanor, also a current U.S. team player, helped lead Boston College to the NCAA championship this year in her role as an assistant coach.
The move was a popular one for current Orange players and her Boston College star Charlotte North sang praises as well.
Could not be more excited about this!! Can’t wait to get to work #goorange https://t.co/RrridShHYB
