The middle leg of the three-game road trip for the No. 3 Syracuse Orange women's lacrosse team was not a good one, as they fell to the No. 13 Florida Gators on Wednesday evening in Gainesville, 14-10.
The Orange were never really in this game, as they got down 4-0 five minutes in, and were down 6-0 late in the first quarter. They were never able to get closer than four goals the rest of the game as Florida kept them at bay and made sure a Duke-style comeback did not happen.
The high-powered strength of this Syracuse team, the offense, was suffocated in this one by a Florida defense that played a spectacular game.
