Junior Kate Mashewske helped Syracuse get plenty of possessions as she tied the single-game school record with 19 draw controls. She matched the mark of head coach Kayla Treanor. When the Orange got the ball into their offensive zone, grad student Emily Hawryschuk and senior Meaghan Tyrrell did much of the damage as each finished with five goals.
