In the midst of the chaos of a top 5 ACC battle between the Syracuse Orange and the North Carolina Tar Heels on Saturday, Meaghan Tyrrell found herself in a familiar spot at the center of the action. That’s what happens when you’re the leader of one of the best offenses and one of the best individual players in the entire country.
This time, however, was a little different as there was something brewing beneath the surface of this game that was quite significant in its historical relevance. It wasn’t likely on the minds of Meaghan or any of her teammates and coaches in the moment, but it’s something that anyone who follows Syracuse women’s lacrosse is very much aware of.
