Syracuse trailed Mercyhurst by one entering the third period, but two goals in the final 20 minutes from the Lakers helped defeat Syracuse 4-1 in its season finale.
“That goal completely carried us through the rest of the game.” After being shut out Friday, Charlotte Hallett's goal in the second period was all Syracuse needed to defeat RIT 3-0.
Despite winning the faceoff battle 30-20, Syracuse couldn’t muster any offense to get past RIT, falling 1-0. The Orange now sit on the doorstep of missing the CHA playoffs for the first time in program history.
