Orange fall to RIT 1-0
The Syracuse women's hockey team wrapped up the No. 2 seed in the CHA playoffs before it even took the ice at RIT on Saturday.

Senior goaltender Amanda Cariddi made her first-career start in net for the Orange, making 23 saves in the loss.
After two scoreless periods, the Tigers got the game's only goal when Celeste Brown's shot from the bottom of the circle snuck just past Cariddi and under the bar on the power play.
The power play goal snapped a streak of 22-straight successful kills from the Orange.
'Cuse outshot the Tigers 26-24 in the game.
Syracuse will next square off with the top-seed that advances from the first weekend of CHA playoffs on Friday, March 6 at Mercyhurst.
