After losing a one goal game to #4 Boston College on Thursday, #3 Syracuse was determined not to let recent history repeat itself. The Orange dominated the Eagles right from the start as it cruised to a 16-7 victory in the Dome Saturday afternoon. With the win, Syracuse improves to 12-2 (8-2), while Boston College drops to the same record. Syracuse gets the two seed in the ACC Tournament as a result of the goal differential tiebreaker.

Syracuse was without Megan Carney in this one, as she was injured in Thursday night's game. Instead of Syracuse's vaunted Megan and Meaghan show, the Orange substituted Emma Tyrrell for Carney to form the Tyrrell and Tyrrell show. Emma set a career high with six goals while sister Meaghan added two of her own. The Tyrrell sisters scored more goals combined (eight) than Boston College (seven). 

Freshman Emma Ward added a hat trick as well.

The Orange defense set the tone in this one. After the Eagles scored in the first minute, Syracuse held Boston College scoreless for the next 17 minutes. Syracuse shot out to an 8-1 advantage during that time, and the Eagles would not get closer than five the rest of the game. Star goalie Asa Goldstock finished with nine saves as she thwarted several good looks from the Eagles. 

Charlotte North, who led Boston College with 62 goals and 71 points coming in, was held without a point in this one. 

As the two seed, Syracuse will play Wednesday, April 28th at 5:00 p.m. against the seven seed Virginia Tech.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. 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. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
