Syracuse women’s lacrosse: Orange struggle to 14-12 win in ACC quarterfinal against Virginia Tech

The Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse team dragged themselves to a 14-12 win in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament on Wednesday against the No. 7 seed Virginia Tech Hokies.

On a rainy midweek day down in Charlotte, ‘Cuse certainly did not look like a team coming off their first loss of the season. The Orange played a wildly inconsistent game in which they never fully put it all together and that kept it a close contest throughout.

A struggling offense led to a tight halftime lead for SU at 6-5. They came out and scored the first three goals of the second half to take a 9-5 lead, and at that point it felt like they were starting to play better and were going to finally take control of the game.
