“I very pleased with the growth of our team this spring,” head coach Ange Bradley said. “We had a very demanding schedule and I am proud of all of our 19 players' commitment and dedication to the process.”
The Orange finished its nontraditional spring season with a 2-1 victory versus Princeton to capture first place in Rutgers spring tournament. SU also played Connecticut, Rutgers and Villanova while in Piscataway, N.J. SU defeated Duke, 2-0, in the Old Dominion tournament to advance to the championship game where it lost to North Carolina, 2-1, two weeks ago.
“I am excited to welcome our six newcomers and fifth-year senior Kim Coyle back to the squad in August,” said Bradley. “We have a good base to build upon and I am very inspired to work with this team. They are fun and eager to grow. We are very excited for the fall season.”
