Asa Goldstock shut out the Great Danes in the first half as the Orange jumped out to a 12-0 halftime lead. Syracuse cruised in the second half, using a lot of reserves for the rest of the game. The win was Syracuse's third straight, and improved its record to 9-1 on the season. The loss dropped Albany to 8-5.

Tyrrell's five goals were part of her career high tying seven points, while Ward also set a career high with seven points of her own. While midfielder Sam Swart was held without a goal for the first time this season, she did have two assists on the afternoon. Most of Syracuse's better players saw fewer minutes than normal due to the first half domination. 

The game started slow and was scoreless through the first eight minutes. Tyrrell started the scoring with 21:22 left in the first half. Syracuse would score seen more goals over the next 10 minutes to take control. 

Albany tried to get back in it, scoring five goals in the first 11 minutes of the second half to trim the Orange lead to 12-5. However, Syracuse responded with four straight goals in less than six minutes to put the game away. 

Next up for Syracuse is back to back games at Louisville on Friday, April 16th and Sunday, April 18th.

Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
