Â
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The No. 4 Syracuse University field hockey team will meet No. 3 Connecticut, the defending national champions, in the NCAA Tournament final on Sunday afternoon in College Park, Md. The game is slated to begin at 1 p.m. at the Field Hockey and Lacrosse Complex.
Â
It marks the first time in program history that Syracuse has advanced to the national final. In addition, the field hockey team is looking to become the first Syracuse women's athletics program to earn a national championship.
Â
Shootout Win
For the first time in program history, Syracuse advanced to the NCAA Tournament final with a 3-2 penalty shootout win against No. 1 North Carolina in the national semifinals on Friday afternoon. Junior midfielder Alyssa Manley tallied the game-winning goal on the sixth shot of the shootout.
Â
Following two scoreless 15-minute overtime periods, the game would be decided by a penalty shootout. Syracuse held a 3-2 advantage in the shootout heading to its fifth player, junior forward Emma Russell. Russell could not convert and North Carolina would tie it up on its final attempt to send it to a sudden victory shootout. Junior goalkeeper Jess Jecko made a save on the Tar Heels' first sudden victory try to set the stage for Manley, who slotted it home to send the Orange to its first-ever national final.
Â
Series Breakdown
Syracuse and Connecticut will meet for the 38th time on Sunday afternoon in the national championship game. The two teams met every single year from since 1992 until Syracuse joined the ACC in 2013.
Â
Connecticut owns a 27-9-1 advantage in the all-time series. UConn took the last meeting, 3-2, on Nov. 4, 2012 in the BIG EAST Tournament final.
