SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The No. 10 Syracuse field hockey team will hit the road for No. 3 Virginia on Friday night, before hosting in-state foe Hofstra on Sunday afternoon at J.S. Coyne Stadium.

Friday's contest will mark the third-straight game against a nationally ranked opponent. Game time is set for 6 p.m. at Turf Field in Charlottesville, Va.

Bradley's Bite
"They (Virginia) are really tough and one of the top teams in the country and conference right now. It's going to be a good opportunity for us to keep testing how much we have grown.

I think it is a nice in-state rivalry (against Hofstra). Hofstra is always a tough team and it is going to be a good opportunity for us to come back, get home, and win on Coyne."

The freshmen class has accounted for 35 percent of the team's scoring, recording 29 points on eight goals and 13 assists. Five freshmen have played in every contest so far this season and back Annalena Ulbrich has started every game for the Orange in 2014.
