The fifth-seeded Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse season came to an end on Saturday with an 18-14 loss to the No. 4 Northwestern Wildcats in Evanston. The Orange (16-5) never led or tied it up in the contest.
The Wildcats (16-4) set the pace early on with three goals in the first five minutes to take a 3-0 lead. Syracuse came back over the next six minutes and cut it to one at 4-3 when Emily Hawryschuk slipped past two Northwestern defenders and got it past Wildcat goalie Mallory Weisse. That was the closest the ‘Cuse would get for the rest of the game.
