Since Syracuse began participating in women's lacrosse, the Orange has found success against in-state opponents.

SU has never lost to an in-state opponent at the Carrier Dome, winning all 26 games.

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ORANGE

Senior Tee Ladouceur led the Syracuse offensive attack with a team-high six points, which included three goals and three assists. The six points moved Ladouceur into sole possession of sixth place on SU's all-time scoring list with 161 points.

Syracuse quickly put Cincinnati away during the contest by scoring six times in the first 10 minutes. Freshman Alyssa Murray recorded two of the team's first six goals, while sophomore Michelle Tumolo added a goal and an assist during the stretch. The Orange led 9-0 before the Bearcats scored their only goal of the first half at the 15:11 mark. Three more Syracuse goals gave SU a 12-1 halftime lead.

The Orange continued the offensive outburst in the second half, stretching its lead to 20-1 against Cincinnati before conceding two late goals.

Senior Catherine Rodriguez and junior Sarah Holden also managed to find the back of the net twice in the win.
