Unlike the previous three years, Syracuse Orange women's lacrosse (11-6, 3-4 ACC) has had a very up-and-down season this time around. They've also complied their first losing record in conference play since 2006, this their second year in the ACC.
They started this campaign off strong with five straight wins, four of them against non-conference opponents. Their first victory of the season over a ranked team came in a one-point decision over No. 8 University of Virginia. On February 28th, Boston College handed the Orange their first loss in another one-goal game. They then faced the number one team in the country in Maryland in College Park and tallied their second loss.
