SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The No. 10 Syracuse field hockey team will plays its final 2014 regular season contests at J.S. Coyne Stadium this weekend when it hosts No. 6 Duke on Saturday and Bucknell on Sunday afternoon.

For the sixth time this season, Syracuse will take on a nationally ranked conference opponent when it hosts the Blue Devils on Saturday afternoon. The game is set to begin at 1 p.m.

On Sunday afternoon, Syracuse will celebrate its three seniors contributions to the program on Senior Day. Seniors Lauren Brooks, Kati Nearhouse, and Jordan Page will all play their final regular season home game against the Bison, beginning at 2 p.m.

Senior Day
The 2014 Syracuse field hockey senior class will be recognized prior to the start of Sunday's contest against Bucknell. Seniors Lauren Brooks, Kati Nearhouse, and Jordan Page all will play their final regular season home games on Sunday afternoon.

This class ranks as one of the most successful in program history, with a 64-15 overall record, a conference regular season title, and conference tournament championship to its name. The group has helped the team to three consecutive NCAA Tournaments and the 2012 NCAA Final Four, the program's second-ever appearance. In addition, the team has been ranked nationally every week over their entire career, including three weeks at No. 1 in 2012.

Balanced Attack
One of the strengths of the 2014 Syracuse field hockey team has been its balanced scoring. Nine players on the club have recorded at least one goal and 11 have tallied at least one point on the year. As a result, Syracuse leads the ACC in goals per game (3.64). In addition, SU ranks third in the country in goals per contest. Maryland leads the nation with a 3.93 goals per contest average.

The team also has shown it can score on any occasion. Syracuse has scored 51 goals on the year, 24 coming in the first half of play, 25 coming in the later 35 minutes, and two in overtime.

Series Breakdown
Syracuse and Duke will meet for the second time on Saturday, while Sunday's meeting against Bucknell will be the eighth all-time contest between the two schools. Syracuse owns a 1-0 mark against the Blue Devils and 6-1 record versus the Bison.

Last season, Syracuse defeated Duke in their first-ever meeting, 2-1, in double overtime. SU has won its three past meetings against Bucknell, last playing them in 2011 and recording a 3-1 win.
