With only three games left in the regular season, the Syracuse Orange (12-4, 5-1 ACC) desperately needed a statement win for their NCAA Tournament resume. They got it on Saturday with a huge, 13-11 road upset against No. 2 North Carolina (12-2, 5-1 ACC). SU never trailed in this game and it was tied only once.
The Orange had a balanced attack with seven different players scoring goals. Emily Hawryschuk led the team with four goals while Devon Parker, Natalie Wallon and Neena Merola tallied two goals each.
