TAKING ON THE BEST
Syracuse continues to face one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Overall, 11 of the Orange's 2025 opponents are ranked in this week's top 25, including seven of the top 10. Tuesday's game is Syracuse's second against an opponent ranked in the top three in a span of four days.

ORANGE UPDATE
The Orange (3-1) had their three-game winning streak snapped in a 16-8 loss at No. 2 North Carolina last Saturday. Emma Ward led Syracuse with four points (2g, 2a), while Molly Guzik and Alexa Vogelman had two goals apiece.

Goalkeeper Daniella Guyette has reached double figures in saves in three-straight games. She recorded her first 10+ save performance at Maryland when she made 11 stops. Guyette improved on that performance with 14 saves against Cornell. She made a career-high 16 saves last Saturday at North Carolina. Guyette ranks 18th in the nation in save percentage (.518). She also leads the ACC and is 10th nationally in saves per game (11.0).
