The calendar has turned to October so let’s recap the week that was for the Orange Olympic sports.

Syracuse split their home series with #4 Penn State as the Orange got an OT game-winning goal from Jocelyn Fiala to upset the Nittany
Lions 5-4 on Friday. Penn State bounced back to win 4-0 on Saturday.
Syracuse will head to Robert Morris next weekend as the Orange are knocking on the door of being ranked.
Women’s Soccer (4-7-2, 1-5)
The Orange lost 2-0 at home to #8 Stanford. Maya Naimoli made 5 saves in net against the Cardinal.
The Orange will play at NC State on Thursday night.

Syracuse will head back on the road to face Georgia Tech and Clemson next weekend.
Men’s Soccer (7-5-1, 1-3-1)
Tough week for the Orange as they dropped two games to ranked opponents. Syracuse fell 2-1 at #12 Akron on a late goal and then lost a 1-0 decision at home to #Louisville.
Syracuse was ranked 25th in the United Soccer Coaches last week and will look to get back on the winning track at Wake Forest next Saturday.
Cross-Country
Syracuse’s finally back in action this week at the Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute on Friday. This will give us a good idea of how both teams stack up among the rest of the country.
The men are still ranked #9 and the women are now receiving votes in the national poll.
