Devon Parker scored all of her career-high five goals in the second half to help Syracuse to a dramatic 16-15 come-from-behind win over Virginia. She is this week's Epoch/US Lacrosse Player of the Week.
Syracuse trailed by as many as nine goals in the first half. Parker, a senior, scored her first goal just a minute into the second half to ignite the comeback. She scored four of Syracuse's first eight goals of the second half, and her fifth goal tied the score at 15-15 late in the second half.
Earlier in the week, Syracuse edged Northwestern 5-3 behind a team-high two goals from Parker. Parker scored both of those goals in the first half as the Orange moved out to a 4-0 halftime lead.
Syracuse is 7-0 heading into a game at No. 1 Maryland on Saturday.
