SYRACUSE, N.Y. – No. 4/4 Syracuse has another quick turnaround this week as it hosts Colgate on Monday, Feb. 24 at 5 p.m. in the Carrier Dome. The Orange, which were ranked No. 7 in last week's coaches and media polls, are coming off a 16-11 victory at No. 6 Northwestern on Saturday.

GAME HAIR HAVOC
Syracuse will take part in HEADstrong Game Hair Havoc at Monday's game. Game Hair Havoc is an online fundraising campaign encouraging players and teams to style their Game Hair in an effort to raise awareness and funds for families affected by cancer. Lacrosse player and cancer survivor Stephanie Finley leads Game Hair Havoc. She was diagnosed with Chordoma, a rare form of cancer, in March 2018. She and her family began working closely with the HEADstrong Foundation upon her diagnosis and together created Game Hair Havoc.

ORANGE UPDATE
Syracuse (4-1) extended its winning streak to three with its victory at Northwestern on Saturday. The Orange trailed by one at halftime and quickly tied the game 58 seconds into the second half on a goal by sophomore Meaghan Tyrrell. The Wildcats responded with back-to-back goals, the second coming on a Taylor Pinzone free position shot with 19:50 on the clock. That would be Northwestern's last goal for more than 14 minutes as the Orange scored five unanswered goals to take a 13-10 lead with 6:42 on the clock. Lauren Gilbert briefly halted the offensive outburst with a free-position goal, but senior Emily Hawryschuk netted the final three goals of the game for the 16-11 final.

Tyrrell scored a career-high five goals, while Hawryschuk finished with six goals. The Orange defense limited Northwestern, the top-scoring team in the nation, well below its 24.25 goals-per-game average.
