Syracuse started their six game road trip against an opponent that head coach Paul Flanagan knows all too well, St. Lawrence. The Orange got out to 1-0 lead at the end of the first period, but allowed three straight goals, falling to the Saints by a final of 3-2.
Flanagan is a Canton, New York native and an alumnus of St. Lawrence where he graduated in 1980. He played defense for the Saints and was a team captain his senior season. After serving as an assistant coach for the St. Lawrence men's hockey team (1988-1999), he took over at the helm for the women's team.
