Last weekend, Syracuse went to Boston for a series of 30-minute games against five of the other top program's in the Northeast: Boston College, Boston University, Massachusetts, Northeastern and Providence. The day was a success as the Orange showed steady improvement throughtout the five games with defense being the primary focus.
