Syracuse women’s ice hockey wins first CHA championship to earn NCAA Tournament bid

The Syracuse Orange women’s ice hockey team upset Robert Morris 6-2 in the College Hockey America (CHA) title game on Friday night to take home the conference championship.

It’s the first league title in the program’s history, and as a result, they’ll be headed to their first NCAA Tournament in program history as well.

The team had an all-around great game against top-seeded RMU, breaking out for a four-goal second period to take a commanding 5-1 lead going into the final period, where they coasted to the win.

Allie Olnowich got the scoring started about half way through the first, but the Colonials tied things up shortly before the end of period.
