ORANGE IN THE BIG EAST
Syracuse has won its last six BIG EAST regular-season games, dating back to last season. The Orange won its last four league contests of the 2011 campaign and is 2-0 in league play this season.
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ORANGE
Freshman Kailah Kempney tied her season high with five goals to lead Syracuse to a 16-10 victory at No. 9 Notre Dame on Thursday, April 5. The win extended the Orange's winning streak to six games.
With the score tied 2-2, Kempney scored her first goal of the game, sparking the Orange on a 7-2 scoring run that gave Syracuse a 9-4 halftime lead. SU continued to apply the offensive pressure in the second half as it registered four unanswered goals to take its largest lead of the game at 13-4 with 27:32 to play. Kempney had two goals during the run.
Notre Dame responded with four straight goals to get within five, but that was close as the Fighting Irish could get. Junior Michelle Tumolo scored SU's first goal in nearly 23 minutes and freshman Gabby Jaquith netted her second goal of the game to give the Orange a seven-goal advantage. Notre Dame responded with back-to-back scores, but Kempney recorded the final goal of the game for the 16-10 final.
