Northwestern lacrosse overwhelmed by experienced Syracuse in 16-12 loss

It was New York's College Team against Chicago's Big Ten Team and, this time, New York's team prevailed. No. 2 Syracuse pulled away from No. 7 Northwestern, 16-12, in the Carrier Dome Sunday afternoon.

Syracuse's attacking trifecta of seniors Kayla Treanor and Halle Majorana and sophomore Riley Donahue proved too much for Northwestern's defense. Majorana had three goals and three assists and Donahue finished with 1 goal and two assists, while Treanor, the undisputed leader of the Orange and a potential Tewaaraton Trophy finalist, finished with four goals and an assist. But perhaps Treanor's biggest impact came in the draw control circle, where she helped Syracuse dominate Northwestern to the tune of 20-10.
