With the season winding down and the Syracuse Orange’s chances of an NCAA Tournament berth on the line, a big win was needed to get some momentum the rest of the way. Although it wasn’t pretty, the No. 14/18 Orange (8-5) did what they needed to do to pull off a 12-11 overtime win over the No. 9/6 Loyola Greyhounds (8-3) on Thursday afternoon in Baltimore.
Sam Fiedler’s goal a little over two minutes into the game was the lone score for the Greyhounds in the first half. Loyola played stout defense, but the Orange made few mistakes on the offensive end and were able to put the ball past Greyhound goalie Kady Glynn several times.
