Two seasons ago, Allison Small and the rest of the 2018-19 Syracuse squad defeated Lindenwood 4-1 in the quarterfinal matchup of the College Hockey America postseason tournament. The third-seeded Orange went on to win their first CHA championship.
Small got the nod to face Lindenwood again Thursday in the 2020-21 quarterfinals, and she fueled the team’s overall momentum. After stopping a quick Thea Jørgensen wrist shot off a 3-on-1 opportunity just nine seconds into the game, momentum shifted toward Syracuse, and the Orange scored just five minutes later.

Syracuse (10-8-1, 8-6-1 College Hockey America) will face the No. 5 seed Lindenwood on Thursday in the first round of the 2021 CHA tournament. The Orange finished the 2020-21 season on a seven-game win streak, ending with a weekend sweep of Robert Morris. The Orange have given up just 31 goals in 15 conference games, the fewest in the CHA behind goalie Allison Small’s 512 saves.
Normally, CHA standings are determined by the number of points received in conference play. But this year, due to canceled games and uncertain schedules, seeding is based on conference win percentage. Syracuse played the third-fewest CHA games, but its seeding remains unchanged by this rule.
