After much wait and tons of work over the break, the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team is set to kick off its season this week with an exhibition game against Le Moyne on Thursday at the JMA Wireless Dome.
The Orange will begin their season with a new coach, almost an entirely new roster, and some elevated expectations compared to last year. Just four veterans remain from last year’s Syracuse team, with the Orange receiving nearly a complete personnel makeover. This season also marks year one of the Legette-Jack era in Syracuse, with the new head coach entering this week on the cusp of making her coaching debut for Syracuse after guiding the Buffalo Bulls to a successful run during her time there.
