STREAKING
The Orange has won seven consecutive matches, which is one short of the longest winning streak in program history. The 1982 Orange won eight in a row on its way to finishing 17-3-2 and winning the inaugural BIG EAST Championship. The last time SU won seven consecutive matches was in 1984 when the team opened the season 7-0-0, including a 16-1 victory against Canisius.
ROAD WARRIORS
Syracuse is headed out on a two-game road trip for matches against Connecticut and Louisville this week. The Orange is 5-0-0 in road games this season and has yet to concede a goal, winning all of its away games 1-0.
DEFYING THE PUNDITS
After being picked to finish last in the ACC Atlantic Division during the preseason, Syracuse is 4-1-0 in conference play and has 12 points in the league standings, more than any other team. By comparison, preseason favorites Notre Dame and Louisville are 3-1-1 and 3-2-0 in conference, respectively. Overall, the Orange's 11 wins are currently more than any other Division I team in America.
THEY SAID IT
"If I can get one goal in a season, I'm happy. Two in one night, that's really beyond my wildest dreams."
