A tie may seem like a boring outcome for any game, but this one has a bit of upside for Syracuse women's ice hockey.
Syracuse has struggled with ranked opponents this season, going 1-5 versus top-ten teams in 2015. It's the same season, but a different year, and the Orange started it out on a better note. The last time Syracuse and Colgate met was on November 20, 2015. The Raiders handed the Orange a 2-1 loss. However on Monday, Syracuse tied #10 Colgate by a score of 2-2 in overtime. Although it is an improvement, Syracuse head coach Paul Flanagan holds his team to high expectations.
