The Syracuse Orange aren’t your typical softball program. Not many others spend nearly two months on the road to start the season, but it’s necessary because of the long Syracuse winters. Regardless of the difficult schedule, the team showed that it’s on the right track.
The Orange finished the 2022 season 26-21, their first winning season since 2018. An impressive run down the stretch included an upset shutout over #11 Duke and sweeping UNC in the final three-game series to make the ACC Softball Championship. In the first round, they bested Louisville, a team that had swept them earlier in the spring, 2-0 for the first Tournament win in program history.
