Trailing by three at halftime, No. 4 Syracuse scored the final four goals in the last 7:38 of the game to complete its comeback for the 10-9 victory over No. 7 Notre Dame. 

Sam Swart kicked off the run, followed by a score by Cara Quimby assisted by Vanessa Costantino. Then at the 4:28 mark, Emily Hawryschuk, who led the Orange with five points, knotted it 9-9 before finding the back of the net 50 seconds later for the game-winner.

Goalie Asa Goldstock, who had 11 saves on the day including her 400th in her career, anchored the Syracuse defense. She now sits fourth in the program’s all-time list with 409 saves.

"I thought our defense, again in the second half, really shut things down and gave us a chance to make that run and get a comeback going,” Orange coach Gary Gait said. “Emily came through at the end, buried her last couple of shots and stepped up when we needed her.”

Notre Dame was led by a commanding seven points from Maddie Howe on four goals and three assists, all but one coming in the first half. 

The Irish entered the break with an 8-5 advantage, ending with Howe having a hand in the final two goals of the period, assisting the first to Hannah Dorney and scoring the second. Howe scored Notre Dame’s only goal of the second half with 10:17 to play. 

It was an even 18-18 battle in ground balls, but the Irish had a slight 11-10 edge on the draw thanks to a game-high nine draw controls from Andie Aldave.

The loss marked the first for Notre Dame (9-1), while the Orange now sits at 10-2.

Balanced Scoring Leads Terps Past Dukes

With nine goals in each half, No. 2 Maryland cruised past No. 6 James Madison 18-5. Eleven different Terps recorded at least one point, with Jen Giles and Kali Hartshorn leading the way with six apiece. Giles scored a team-high four goals, while Hartshorn and Grace Griffin each tallied hat tricks. 

Hartshorn and Lizzie Colson shared responsibilities on the draw, controlling seven and eight respectively. 

In 50:42 of play, goalie Megan Taylor made eight saves to just five against. She leads the country with a .585 save percentage on the season.

"Great day for us today," said Terps coach Cathy Reese. "Got a lot of contributions from everywhere, with nine of our girls scoring goals and holding James Madison to just five goals. They're a great team, so just another really good win for our group."

The Dukes saw two goals each from Maddie McDaniel and Daria Lucchesi and one from Halle Duenkel, who also had two assists for a team-best three points. 

While Maryland won the draw battle 15-10, JMU was scrappier in ground balls, 19-15.

"We just didn't have enough toughness on the attack today," Dukes coach Shelley Klaes-Bawcombe said. "We shot 20 percent and when you're playing a great team like Maryland, that's just turning the ball over and giving it back, and they did a great job capitalizing.”
