When the puck finally bounced Syracuse’s way, Anna Leschyshyn fired it from the crease into the net for the game’s equalizing goal. After a review confirmed Emma Polaski didn’t interfere with the goalie, the bench erupted with cheers and, for the first time Saturday afternoon, the momentum shifted toward the Orange.
