Syracuse was led by the dominant pitching performance of senior Jocelyn Cater. Cater allowed two runs on four hits while striking out 12 in six innings pitched.
From the very beginning Syracuse had complete control of this one. After hitting Le Moyne's leadoff batter with the first pitch, Jocelyn Cater bounced back to strike out two of the next three batters she faced to finish the inning strong. In the second she picked up right where she left off and struck out two more Le Moyne batters.
In the bottom of the second inning the Syracuse bats came alive.
