HONORS FOR THE ORANGE
Two Syracuse players earned CHA weekly awards for their performances last week. Freshman Madison Primeau earned CHA Rookie of the Week after scoring a goal in each of Syracuse's games, including her first collegiate goal against Union. She scored again when the Orange played at third-ranked Colgate, and then recorded one goal and one assist in Syracuse's game against Colgate at home. Her three-game goal streak ties for ninth in the Syracuse record book.

Graduate student Jessica DiGirolamo garnered CHA Defenseman of the Week accolades after setting the Syracuse record for points by a defenseman with an assist at #3 Colgate. She has 77 career points (27 goals and 50 assists). During the three-game stretch last week DiGirolamo also had eight shots on goal and seven blocks. She ranks fifth on the CHA record list for points by a defenseman and is the 10th defensemen in CHA history to record 50 career assists. Syracuse has a strong presence on the CHA's top 10 list for all-time assists by defenseman with five. DiGirolamo joined Akane Hosoyamada (51), Allie Munroe (51), Lindsay Eastwood (52) and Nicole Renault (58).

50 YEARS OF SYRACUSE WOMEN'S ATHLETICS
Orange alumni, fans and friends are invited to share in a year-long celebration of 50 years of Syracuse University women's athletics.
