SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse women's ice hockey team will take on local CNY and CHA rival RIT when they travel to the Gene Polisseni Center on Wednesday, Nov. 18th at 7 p.m. The Orange lost its last two contests, but look to rebound against a team they defeated by a score of 7-1 earlier this season.

The game will be broadcast live on Time Warner Cable Sports.

Syracuse (5-7-1, 3-1-1) fell to Cornell at War Memorial Arena at the Oncenter this past Saturday by a final of 5-2. The Big Red got off to a hot start, jumping to a 3-0 lead by the end of the first period. Sophomore Stephanie Grossi got the Orange on the board just 11 seconds into the 3rd period and classmate Alysha Burriss capitalized on a power play opportunity with just under 5 minutes remaining, but Cornell answered just 22 seconds later, holding on for the victory.

Syracuse played strong defensively, despite the lopsided score. Cornell recorded just 13 shots during the game, including just a single shot in the second period. Grossi dominated in the face-off dot as well, winning 17-24 attempts.

Following the loss, the Orange will take the short trip to Rochester, N.Y. to take on RIT (3-10-0, 0-5-0). The Tigers have lost their past six games, including four losses to CHA opponents.

LAST TIME AGAINST THE TIGERS
Syracuse came out with a vengeance earlier this season after losing to RIT in the CHA Championship last year in double overtime. Backed by an impressive five-point performance from Grossi, the Orange cruised to a 7-1 win.

Grossi finished with a hat trick and two assists, tying the Syracuse single-game record with five points.

SCOUTING RIT
Carly Payerl leads RIT with eight points, including a team-high four goals to go with four assists. Taylor Thurston leads the Tigers with six assists and is second on the team with seven points.

Brooke Stoddart and Jenna de Jonge have split majority of time between the pipes. Stoddart has started in seven games while de Jonge has played and started in five. Stoddart is 2-5-0 with an .883 save percentage and 3.59 goals against average. de Jonge is 1-4-0 with an .872 save pecentage and 4.38 goals against average.
