GAINESVILLE, Fla. – It took a bit of last-second heroics, but the No. 4/4 Syracuse women's lacrosse team gets the job done against yet another ranked opponent, this time the No.16/RV Florida Gators. Freshman Meaghan Tyrrell converted a free-position attempt with eight second left on the clock to give the Orange a 14-13 victory. HOW IT HAPPENED The Gators (3-4) got on the board first with a goal from Kassidy Bresnahan 1:11 into the game. Then Syracuse took over. Sophomore Sam Swart got the Orange (7-2) into the scoring column, sparking the Orange offense. Three goals from senior Emily Hawryschuk, another goal from Swart, and goals from junior Vanessa Costantino and redshirt junior Mary Rahal gave Syracuse a 7-1 lead before Florida got back on the board with 11:17 left in the half. Hawryschuk would respond with her fourth of the evening, and then the Gators started to whittle away at the Syracuse lead. Florida went on a 4-0 run before Rahal ended the half with a goal to give the Orange a 9-6 lead heading into the break. Florida wouldn't let up coming out of the locker room. The Gators opened the half with back-to-back goals from Grace Haus and Lindsey Ronbeck.

The scoring seemed to be done until Ronbeck tallied a goal, her fifth of the game, with 44 seconds left on the clock, tying the game at 13-13. Syracuse wasn't going to give Florida the chance to send it to overtime. The Orange won the ensuing draw and Tyrrell drew a foul inside the arc, giving her the chance to score the game winner.

Tyrrell has been dominant as a freshman attack for the Orange. The Mt. Sinai, N.Y. native has had a hat trick in three games this season and ranks third on the team in goals (17) behind Hawryschuk and Levy.
