SYRACUSE, N.Y. – A hat trick by Carlos Zambrano gave Syracuse its first win at home this season against Colgate, 3-0. Head coach Ian McIntyre collected his 142nd win with the Orange, making him the winningest coach in program history.

ZAMBRANO'S HAT TRICK
Zambrano scored his first two goals 2:21 apart from each other. The midfielder's first goal was off a penalty kick when Colgate's Ethan Harris received a foul for tripping Sachiel Ming in the 58th minute.

In the 60th minute, Zambrano took a corner kick and scored when his shot arced inside the far post to give Syracuse a 2-0 lead.

Zambrano capped his hat trick with a left footed shot into the back corner of the net in the 66th minute, marking him as the first Orange player to score a hat trick since Ryan Raposo's against North Carolina on Oct. 19, 2019.

McIntyre has led the Orange to a national championship in 2022 along with two ACC titles in 2015 and 2022 and eight NCAA Tournament appearances.
