When the news broke on the evening of Sunday, June 6 that Gary Gait was going to become the next head coach of the Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team, it took almost no time for Kayla Treanor’s name to appear in conversations about who would replace him as head coach of the women’s lacrosse team.
It’s not difficult to figure out why. Despite never having been a head coach before, the 27-year old has accomplished quite a lot in her lacrosse career. She’s one of the most successful, decorated players in the history of the women’s game as both a collegian and pro/international.
