One of the best players in the sport, Hawryschuk was setting herself up for a likely trip to Washington, D.C., in May for the Tewaaraton Award presentation. The attacker from Victor, N.Y., had 39 goals and seven assists through eight games — a blistering 4.9 goals per game. 

After earning a spot on the All-ACC First Team as a sophomore, Hawryschuk took a leap forward as a junior, earning IWLCA first-team All-American honors after a campaign in which she scored 75 goals with 19 assists.

Syracuse, ranked fifth in the last Nike/US Lacrosse Division I Women's Top 20 before the season was canceled due to COVID-19, had Championship Weekend aspirations. With Hawryschuk back in the fold, it appears as if the Orange will have another shot in 2021.
