In Syracuse’s first game since top-scorer Emily Hawryschuk announced she’s out for the season with an ACL tear, Syracuse’s offense was relentless. The Orange couldn’t replace Hawryschuk’s presence inside of the 8-meter arc, but they still scored 15 goals, throwing their stick down ferociously after each one.
No. 2 Syracuse (3-0, 1-0 Atlantic Coast) dominated on both sides of the field in its first ACC matchup of the season against No. 11 Duke (4-2, 1-2), winning 15-5. SU scored 10 first-half goals as six different Syracuse players found the net on Saturday afternoon. It marked head coach Gary Gait’s 200th career win and the third straight win for the Orange this season. Freshman Emma Ward recorded the first four goals of her career on five shots and Meaghan Tyrrell notched five goals and an assist.
