The Orange beat Wake Forest, then lost in penalty strokes to Virginia in the ACC Tournament semi-final. Bo Van Kempen and Jessie Eiselin were selected to the ACC All Tournament Team.
Syracuse earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament and they will open with the Liberty Flames on Friday at 2:30 in Princeton, NJ. The winner

The Orange are in the midst of a five-match losing streak after dropping contests to Clemson (3-1) and Georgia Tech (3-0). Syracuse is now tied for 10th in the ACC with BC and Wake Forest.
