The Atlantic Coast Conference has named Meaghan Tyrrell the Offensive Player of the Week after she scored 22 points in No. 3 Syracuse’s three wins last week. 

Against Louisville, Tyrrell posted career-highs in shots on goal (8), goals (7), assists (5) and points (10). Tyrrell’s 88.9% shot on goal percentage was the third-best she’s had all season. 

Tyrrell has 72 points this season, including 27 assists. Both are the highest on the team. She also leads the ACC with an average of six points per game, and her assist average of 2.25 is second in the conference. 

The Orange have 11 wins this season and will wrap up the regular season this week with a doubleheader against No. 4 Boston College. The Eagles are the only other team in the ACC with one loss, and they are tied for second with Syracuse in the conference’s standings.



Both games of the doubleheader will be in the Carrier Dome, the first of which will be on Thursday. Boston College enters the matchup on an eight-game winning streak, and Syracuse enters on a five-game one of their own. Both teams have lost only to No. 1 North Carolina this year.
