Women's Lacrosse 2026 Spring Practice

[outoftownie]

Second Team
A- Olivia Adamson, Gr., Northwestern
M-Emma Muchnick, Sr., Syracuse

Third Team
D- Coco Vandiver, Sr., Syracuse

Emma Muchnick and Brigid Duffy are first team all-americans. Syracuse will have more than two on the first three all-american teams at the end of the year. I'd expect at one of our attackers (Volpe, if healthy all year, or Guzik) to land on one of the first three teams and Kaci Benoit too. Syracuse Lacrosse is wildly underrated this year and Im here for it. Can't wait for Friday afternoon in the Dome. Hopefully the weather allows Maryland to make the trip up this year...

Who is Brigid Duffy? Not on the roster.

Granted, huge distractions last year with the Olivia Adamson fake injury nonsense, and the gruesome end to the Treanor era. But, it's a bit early to say that SU is "wildly underrated."

We have a new head coach, who will actually have to install an offensive strategy instead of passing the ball around hoping a defender falls down. And, draw control is a huge question mark.

Brigid Duffy is a middie from Albany area that plays for army. Just saying that she and Muchnick should be first team AA. As for this year’s edition of the Orange, I say they are underrated because they underachieved last year. There was a lot of young talent that was betrayed by their leadership, both head coach and captain. This year there is no leadership vacuum, muchnick and Thorpe are both outstanding leaders and the young talent has a another year of experience.

Brigid Duffy scored 10 against Princeton last weekend in their scrimmage. She is a special player.
