No. 4 Syracuse couldn’t get its offense moving, and No. 8 Notre Dame quickly took advantage. The Orange had lost just two games — Boston College and Maryland, both top-three teams in the nation — but they were tested Sunday. Down 9-6 in the final 10 minutes, SU stormed back behind Emily Hawryschuk’s four goals, two of which were game’s final goals.
Here’s the best shots from Syracuse’s comeback victory.
