When the Syracuse Orange added women’s ice hockey in 2008, Paul Flanagan faced the challenge of building a program from the ground up.
Now in his 14th year at the helm, it’s clear that he’s done a pretty good job.
The Orange won their 200th game in program history on Saturday, 4-3 over Lindenwood. It was also their sixth straight win to begin 2022.
That success didn’t come out of nowhere. Flanagan and his squad went through the same growing pains as most new college teams. In its inaugural season, SU lost its first six games and were just 2-11-3 in conference play.
