SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse field hockey team will complete its 2014 regular season on Saturday afternoon at Massachusetts. The team's regular season finale is set to begin at 1 p.m. in Amherst, Mass.

For the ninth straight season, Syracuse has won at least 12 regular season contests. The Orange has won at least 12 games in the regular season every year under head coach Ange Bradley.

Bradley's Bite
"We just have to keep getting better at the end. It's all who wins last. Hopefully, we can come out strong against UMass and finish up the month solid."

Russell Shares Accolades
Junior forward Emma Russell of the Syracuse University field hockey team was named the ACC Co-Player of the Week, the conference announced on Oct. 28. Russell shared their honor with Boston College sophomore Emily McCoy. It marked the first time in Russell's collegiate career that she had earned conference player of the week accolades.

Russell helped the team to a perfect weekend, as Syracuse defeated then-No. 6 Duke and Bucknell. She tallied the game-winning goal in overtime against Duke, her third overtime goal this season. Russell followed that performance up with the final goal of the day against Bucknell, her team-leading 12th tally of the year.

ACC Championship Awaits
Following its 2-1 overtime victory against then-No. 6 Duke on Oct. 25, the Syracuse field hockey team wrapped up the sixth seed for the 2014 ACC Field Hockey Championship. The ACC Championship will begin Thursday, Nov. 6 at Duke's Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium in Durham, N.C.

Syracuse will take on third-seeded Boston College in its first round matchup on Thursday, Nov. 6. The final first round game of the 2014 ACC Championship is slated to begin at 4 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN3.
