Recap: Syracuse women’s lacrosse 23, UConn 11
It was slow going in the beginning but once they shook off the rust, the No. 7 Syracuse Orange (1-0) used a plethora of scorers to bombard the UConn Huskies (0-1) en route to a crushing 23-11 performance on Friday evening in the Carrier Dome.
Despite the end result, it was the Huskies who jumped out early on. They won the first six draw controls and eventually nine out of the first ten to take a 6-4 lead with almost 12 minutes left in the first half. Up to that point, SU led only once briefly at 4-3. The Orange scored five straight goals to take a 9-6 lead with 4:39 left in the half. UConn responded with a pair of goals to cut the Syracuse lead to just one at the break.
