Syracuse (2-1) snuck by Hofstra (0-3-1), 3-2, Sunday at SU Soccer Stadium. The Pride kept on the Orange’s heels, never leading but equalizing the game three times, the latest coming in 86th minute of the game. But a goal by Tajon Buchanan — his second of the game — a minute later gave the Orange a lead it didn’t lose.

Here are the best shots from Sunday’s action.
