While some might consider it “tough” or “unfavorable,” the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball schedule is full of challenges (and opportunities). Playing in one of — if not the best — conference in women’s college basketball, the Orange are set to face numerous tests in the 2018-19 season. Six ACC teams were included in the preseason AP Top 25 poll, including defending National Champion Notre Dame (No. 1) and Louisville (No. 5) book-ending the nation’s top five.
No. 18 Syracuse will not see either of those two teams until the calendar flips to February 2019, but even so, the Orange will be tested out of the gate.
