SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse women's basketball team will play host to Central New York-foe Colgate on Wednesday, December 6 in the Carrier Dome. It marks the first meeting between the two programs since the 2011-12 campaign.

The 2016-17 Orange advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth straight season, one of 15 programs nationally to do so. 2017 All-Atlantic Coast Conference Freshman Team honoree Gabby Cooper leads a returning core that will join with one of the nation's top recruiting classes to form the 2017-18 squad.
