Four different players found the back of the net as No. 11 Syracuse University field hockey knocked off No. 16 Louisville 4-2 Friday afternoon at J.S. Coyne Stadium.

Syracuse (7-3, 2-2 ACC) snapped a two-game skid and evened its conference record behind a balanced attack. Aubrey Turner opened the scoring in the fifth minute for her sixth goal of the year, with Hattie Madden picking up the assist. Bo Madden converted a penalty stroke for her first goal of the season, and Jess Liddell finished a penalty corner in the closing seconds of the third quarter with Grace Anne McCooey and Ava Brewer assisting. Jovie Weaver sealed the win late on a feed from Fieve Frenken. Jessie Eiselin went the distance in goal, making two saves.

The Orange outshot the Cardinals 19-8, including a 13-4 edge in shots on goal, and held an 11-6 advantage in penalty corners. Liddell led all players with eight shots, six of which were on target.

Louisville (9-5, 3-2 ACC) got goals from Chloe Plumb and Gigi Edwards, with Lauren Masters assisting on Edwards' tally. Emily Young made nine saves for the Cardinals.
