It’s not hard to figure out why the draw control taker and the goalie play an important role for any women’s lacrosse team.
The Syracuse Orange are no exception. We were reminded of as much on Sunday, when Kate Mashewske and Kimber Hower both played huge roles in helping SU advance past Princeton and into today’s quarterfinal matchup with Northwestern.
Kate dominated on draws, winning 13 herself and helping the Orange to a 17-8 advantage overall. Kimber made 11 saves while only surrendering nine goals, and was instrumental in keeping ‘Cuse in the game by making a handful of big-time stops early on when the team was struggling.
