Daily News | Star sophomore Sydney Pappas has spearheaded Villanova lacrosse’s historic season
The scariest part? She’s only a sophomore.“It’s crazy that I’ve already scored this many goals,” Pappas said. “I assume it’s gonna get a little bit tougher.”Pappas’ 52 goals rank in the top 30 nationally. Villanova head coach Jill Batcheller isn’t surprised as she realized during Pappas’ freshman year just how special a player she is.
By the time Pappas is done at Villanova, Batcheller believes she could be a Tewaaraton Award winner, given to the best player in college lacrosse. Pappas realized she had a shot at continuing her lacrosse career in college when her Garden City High School teams won Long Island championships in 2017 and 2019 and a New York championship in 2018. Individually, she was named a top 100 player by Newsday and an All-American by US Lacrosse.
“It’s so awesome to be part of a school where … you can bring them from not being ranked to potentially being in the top 20,” Pappas said, noting the recent votes Villanova has received in Lacrosse Magazine’s top 20 poll. “It’s so easy to just be at those top schools and just coast, but it’s so cool to go through the adversity of all that and bring a team from something not too great to [something] amazing.”Pappas hasn’t been alone in Villanova’s success.
