WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Syracuse University women's soccer team used two goals from sophomore forward Nina Scalzo (Webster, N.Y./Webster) en route to a come-from-behind victory against Georgetown on Sunday afternoon at Harbin Field.

The Orangewomen (9-5-0, 2-3-0 BIG EAST NE Div.) tied the game at 71:37 when Scalzo lifted a shot into the upper right-hand corner past Hoya keeper Shereena Chang. Freshman forward Natalie Galas (Sterling Heights, Mich./Bishop Foley) earned an assist on the play. Scalzo would net the gamewinner 2:40 later when she headed a free kick from senior co-captain Tracy Stalker (Marcellus, N.Y./Marcellus) into the goal for the final 2-1 score.
