- Be the third ACC win of the year for Syracuse, marking back-to-back seasons with at least three wins in conference play.
- Be the 29th win for the Orange over the Eagles and the second most wins over another program, right behind Cornell, a team Syracuse has beaten 33 times.
-Head coach Lynn Farquhar would improve to 4-1 against Boston College as a head coach, going 2-0 while at Saint Joseph's and 1-1 at Syracuse. Farquhar's teams are currently 3-0 when the games are in Massachusetts.
