The temperature is cooling off, but the action is heating up. Let’s recap the week that was for the Orange Olympic sports.
Field Hockey (9-6, 4-4)
The Orange head back to the NCAA Tournament and a rematch with Princeton on Friday in Storrs, Ct. In case you missed it, here was our ACC Tournament recap
Ice Hockey (8-4, 6-4)
The Orange split their two games with Lindenwood winning 4-1 before losing 2-1 in the second game. Emma Gnade
continues to lead the Syracuse skaters with 15 points (4 goals and 11 assists) on the season.
The Orange have a home and home with RPI this weekend.
Women’s Soccer (4-11-2, 1-9)
The Orange ended the season with a six-game losing streak after dropping the season finale 2-0 to California.
One bright spot was goalie Maya Naimoli who finished the season as the ACC leader in saves.
The Orange will host California on Thursday night in the regular season finale.
Volleyball (7-15, 2-12)
Syracuse split the home and home with Boston College last week with each school winning on the road.
The Orange will host Miami and Florida State this weekend.
Men’s Soccer (8-7-3, 1-5-2)
Cardiac Cuse is on to Cary and the ACC Semifinals against SMU.
Syracuse knocked out Pitt in penalty kicks, then went west and took out Stanford in overtime on Jordan Grey’s golden goal. Juan Martinez-Bastidas stood tall in net and now the Orange look to pull another upset on Thursday. A win against SMU would likely secure a NCAA at-large bid for Syracuse, who right now is on the bubble of the field.
Cross-Country
Cross-Country is back in action on Friday at the NCAA Northeast Regionals in Bethpage, NY. The men are ranked 2nd behind Harvard while the women are 3rd behind Providence and Boston College.
Syracuse’s men will make NCAA’s with a top-3 finish at regionals while the women should be in the same position if they can hold a top-3 spot.
