'CUSE VS. UNC
- The Orange look to get back in the ACC win column after dropping their first game of 2017 on Saturday.
- Syracuse and North Carolina have been the class of the ACC since the Orange joined in 2013, with Syracuse (17) and UNC (15) holding the most wins in league play over that time span.
- Syracuse and UNC have met 12 times under coach Bradley, with the series knotted at six wins each. Carolina won the only two prior meetings before Bradley's arrival in campus.
- Since joining the ACC, the squads have met nine times, including three ACC Tournament games and two NCAA Tournament games. In 2014 and 2015, the teams met in the regular season, played for an ACC title and met in the final four - with SU downing UNC to claim its National Championship.
- The matchups have been tight as well, with Syracuse out-scoring Carolina 18-17 since joining the ACC in 2013, with two games reaching overtime and one making it to a shootout in the 2014 NCAA Semifinal.
- This is the first matchup against her alma mater for new Orange assistant coach Kelsey Kolojejchick. The Tar Heel standout - who is the first four-time NFHCA First Team All-American in Carolina history - joined the Syracuse coaching staff this season after halting her career with the U.S. National Team.

BREAK THE RECORD
- The Orange are attempting to break the J.S. Coyne Stadium attendance record of 1,513 fans, which was set on Nov. 6 of 2011 against UConn.
- That UConn game was in the BIG EAST Tournament. The regular-season attendance record is 891 fans set in the 2015 season vs. Boston University.

Orange Lead the ACC
- Since joining the nation's best conference in 2013, head coach Ange Bradley's squad has the best record conference play amongst the seven member schools.
- Syracuse's 17 league wins since 2013 stands two more than the next-closest opponent (North Carolina, 15).
