Halle Majorana scored five times and Kayla Treanor added four more as the No. 3 Syracuse University women's lacrosse team began its season with a 17-6 win over Loyola on Sunday in the Carrier Dome.
Erica Bodt, Natalie Wallon and Kelly Cross each scored twice for the Orange. Goalie Allie Murray made three saves.
The Orange faced off against the Greyhounds twice last season. Loyola took the last regular-season contest against the Orange, 9-8, at the SU Soccer Stadium. The pair met two weeks later in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Tournament in which Syracuse won 10-7.
