Around this time last year, we were in the midst of watching Emma Tyrrell emerge as a burgeoning star for the Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse team in the aftermath of Meg Carney’s season-ending injury.
It was part of a season-long theme of overcoming obstacles and giving younger players a chance to step up and prove themselves on the biggest stage.
It’s a theme that has, unfortunately, continued into this season. Only this year, it’s Emma who suffered the season-ending injury.
When it comes to replacing a player like Emma Tyrrell, it’s never going to come down to just one person.
