QUILLINAN NETS CAREER HIGH

With six goals against Binghamton, Quillinan now has 63 goals in her career. She needs just two more goals to break into the top 10 on Syracuse’s career goals scored leader list. Caitlyn Dragon and Jill DePetris are tied for ninth in career goals with 65.
NEW YORK STATE OF MIND
The Orange has dominated play against schools from New York State since its arrival on the women’s lacrosse scene. After Syracuse’s 22-8 victory against Canisius, the Orange owns a 27-5 all-time record against in-state schools (.844 winning percentage) with all five losses coming to Cornell. Syracuse has never lost to a school from New York at the Carrier Dome, winning all 20 games.
LENDING A HELPING HAND
Syracuse has recorded 35 assists on 72 goals this season. Of the 72 goals, 13 have come on free position shots. That means that of the goals that did not come via the free position, 59 percent were scored off an assist. Through games of Mar. 2, the Orange leads the BIG EAST in assists per game. Junior Katie Rowan leads the team with 11 assists, while Kristin Brady has dished out seven this season.
