What does this season have in store for Syracuse? Nick Petraccione previews the upcoming Syracuse Women's Ice Hockey season.
The Syracuse Orange Women's Ice Hockey team has been voted as the favorites to win the College Hockey America regular season championship. After finishing runner-up in the CHA regular season and in the CHA tournament last season, the Orange received three first place votes, one more than last years regular season champions Mercyhurst.
Head coach Paul Flangan says the team hasn't talked about the ranking, but it does serve as motivation.
"I think it's flattering that the other coaches are picking us to win," said Flanagan.
