SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse softball team (27-19, 6-15 ACC) wraps up its 2025 regular season at home with a three-game series against Cal (32-18, 8-13 ACC) from Friday, May 2 through Sunday, May 4. Following Sunday's game, the Orange will honor their six seniors, Laila Morales-Alves, Kelly Breen, Kate Dorazio, Tessa Galipeau, Taylor Posner, and Angie Ramos, with a special Senior Day ceremony.
The series will begin on Friday, May 2 with a 3 p.m. contest, followed by 1 p.m. and 12 p.m. first pitches on Saturday, May 3, and Sunday, May 4. All three contests will air live on ACCN+.
ORANGE UPDATE:
'Cuse enters the series against Boston College in 15th place in the ACC standings. The Orange are three games back of 12th-place Pittsburgh, which currently holds the final spot in the ACC Tournament field with six conference wins. Boston College sits just ahead of Syracuse in 13th place, with five ACC victories entering the weekend.
The last time the Orange took the field, they swept a doubleheader at UAlbany in their final nonconference games of the season, winning 6-0 and 6-2. Madelyn Lopez recorded a career-high four hits to lead Syracuse to a shutout victory in the opener. In game two, Vanessa Flores got the Orange started with a two-run home run, setting the tone for a 6-2 win and the sweep.
Through 43 games, Madelyn Lopez has led the Orange offense, batting .443 (54-for-122) with 26 runs, 24 RBIs, and two home runs — all team highs. Tessa Galipeau (.323), Angie Ramos (.314), and Jadyn Burney (.301) have also been steady contributors, each hitting over .300 this season. Ramos has been a consistent run producer, with 20 RBIs, second only to Lopez.
Kelly Breen is the only player to appear in all 43 games for Syracuse this season. The senior has been a fixture in the Orange lineup throughout her four-year career and is putting together one of her strongest campaigns yet. She is currently batting .290, on pace for a career high, while adding 19 RBIs and 16 runs. A steady presence in the infield, Breen has split time between third base and shortstop this year.
In the circle, Julianna Verni and Madison Knight have handled most of Syracuse's pitching duties, combining for 227 of the team's 299 innings. The duo has recorded 180 strikeouts, with Knight's 106 ranking 9th in the ACC.
SCOUTING THE GOLDEN BEARS:
California enters the series in Central New York with a 32-18 overall record and an 8-13 mark in ACC play. The Golden Bears, currently in ninth place in the conference standings, are aiming to clinch a spot in the 2025 ACC Championship.
Cal boasts one of the top offenses in the nation this season, ranking ninth in the NCAA in total doubles (85), 17th in doubles per game (1.70), 24th in hit-by-pitches (43), and 28th in double plays turned (22).
Kaylee Pond has been on a tear for the Golden Bears, batting .583 with a 1.250 slugging percentage over the last five games. She's tallied seven hits, six RBIs, two doubles, two home runs, and two runs scored during that stretch.
SERIES HISTORY AGAINST CAL:
This weekend's series will mark the sixth, seventh, and eighth meetings all-time between Syracuse and Cal. The Golden Bears lead the series, 4-1, with the Orange earning their lone win in the most recent matchup on March 16, 2013.
This weekend will mark the first time the series between Syracuse and Cal is played at a home venue. Each of the previous five matchups took place at neutral sites.
UP NEXT:
Should the Orange clinch a spot in the 2025 ACC Championship, they will head to host school Boston College for the tournament, which begins on Wednesday, May 7.
