After a weather delay the Syracuse Orange field hockey squad rolled past the Duke Blue Devils 5-1 to advance in the 2021 ACC Championship. Home field treated the Orange well yesterday as a goal from SJ Quigley in the first minute put Syracuse ahead to stay.
After goals from Willemijn Boogert and Hailey Bitters Syracuse took a 3-0 lead into the second quarter. The Blue Devils cut the lead to 3-1 but Eefke van den Nieuwenho restored the 3-goal lead before halftime. She added one more goal in the third quarter for the final score.
