The Syracuse hockey team will embark on the second half of its season exactly one month after playing its last game – a 4-2 win over RIT – that sent the Orange into break in second place in the CHA, having played nine-of-20 games against league opponents.

- SU is 5-4-1 all-time against the Raiders.

- 15 current members of the Orange have recorded points against Colgate.
- Allie LaCombe leads all SU goal scorers against Colgate with two, Jessica Sibley (1 goal, 1 assist), Julie Knerr (1 goal, 2 assists), Danielle Leslie (3 assists), Akane Hosoyamada (2 assists), Melissa Piacentini (three assists), Nicole Renault (1 assist), Heather Schwarz (1 goal), Kaillie Goodnough (1 assist) and Nicole Ferarra (1 assist) Eleanor Haines (1 goal), Laurence Porlier (1 assist), Dakota Derrer (1 assist), Heather Schwarz (1 assist) and Dakota Derrer (1 assist) are the others with points against the Raiders.

Last Time vs. Colgate
- The Orange used goals from Eleanor Haines and Julie Knerr to jump out to a 2-0 lead before Colgate got one back late in the third, the only blemish in goaltender Jenn Gilligan's debut which she made 20 saves.
Freshmen Phenoms
- Freshman forwards Stephanie Grossi, Alysha Burriss and Emily Costales have made an immediate impact on the Orange up front, while teammates Megan Quinn and Dakota Derrer have each played every game on the blue line
- Grossi and Burriss (who are first and second on the Orange with 17 and 14 points respectively) make 'Cuse one of three teams with a pair of freshmen leading the team in scoring (joining Colgate and Minnesota State).
- Additionally, Grossi and Burriss are one of only three freshmen tandems to combine for 30 points. Joining Kenzie Kent and Tori Sullivan from Boston College (39 combined pts.) and Minnesota's Kelly Pannek and Cara Piazza (32 combined pts.)

- Following her hat trick against RIT in the final game before winter break, freshman Alysha Burriss earned CHA Player of the Week honors and followed that up a week later by being crowned CHA Rookie of the Month.
- She and freshman Stephanie Grossi earned the Rookie of the Month award in back-to-back months.
Not So Tini on the Power Play
