ITHACA, N.Y. – Senior Sammy Fernandez went 3-for-4 with three runs and freshman Gabby Teran added two RBI to lead Syracuse (29-19) to a 4-2 victory over Cornell (13-24) Monday afternoon at Niemand-Robison Softball Field.

Junior Bryce Holmgren finished 2-for-3 with an RBI, a run and two stolen bases. Junior Alicia Hansen and Teran each finished 2-for-4.

How it was Decided
The teams each tallied two runs in the first inning. Fernandez scored on a wild pitch and Teran singled home a run. Cornell scored its first run on an Orange error and tied it up with an RBI infield single from Olivia Lam.

'Cuse took a 3-2 lead in the third off on an RBI sacrifice fly by Holmgren and picked up an insurance run in the fifth on an RBI groundout from Teran.

Of Note

Teran's drove in multiple runs in seven games this season, which ranks second on the Orange. Holmgren leads the team with 10 multi-RBI games.
