SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse women’s lacrosse aims for its ninth straight win this Saturday against the University of Pittsburgh.
The Orange, ranked No. 5, have turned an 0-3 start into an 8-3 record, including eight consecutive victories. This run features wins over top teams like then-No. 4 Northwestern and then-No. 5 Yale, with a defense allowing just 6.90 goals per game, the fourth-best in the nation, according to the Daily Orange.
Syracuse will host Pitt at the JMA Wireless Dome, where they defeated the Panthers 17-11 on March 15, 2025. Standout goalie Daniella Guyette leads a defense that hasn’t allowed an opponent to score double digits since February 28.
