Playing career
NCAA
Treanor is one of the most decorated women's lacrosse players in Syracuse history. Recognized as a first-team All-America in women’s lacrosse for four consecutive seasons, Treanor became only the fifth athlete in the history of Syracuse University to gain four straight All-America nods in her respective varsity sport. The other athletes include wrestler Gene Mills, swimmers Liz Vilbert and Miroslav Vucetic and men's lacrosse player Mike Powell. [3]
In Treanor’s sophomore season (2014), she would set the program record for most goals in a season with 79, while finishing the season with 117 points, the second-highest single season total. Among her season highlights, she would score a career-high seven goals against the No. 1 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels. That season, Syracuse would qualify for the NCAA national championship game against Maryland. As a junior, she would become only the fifth Syracuse player to reach 200 career goals. [4]
On April 23, 2016, Treanor registered five points in a 13-10 home win versus the Louisville Cardinals. With 7:30 remaining in the contest, Treanor’s 251st career goal surpassed Christina Dove as the all-time leading scorer in Syracuse history, placing her 11th all-time in NCAA history.[5] As a side note, the contest was held on senior day for the graduating Orange players.
Treanor would finish the season leading all Syracuse players with 50 goals and 90 points, helping the program qualify for its fifth consecutive NCAA Final Four appearance. In addition, she would set the NCAA single season record for most draw controls with 217. [6] Of note, she would graduate with 260 career goals, finishing sixth all-time in NCAA history. In addition, she ranks fourth all-time with 393 points.
