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.
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.
“It's very helpful to have someone who understands both positions and can jump in all situations so she's done a great job sticking with it.” Maya D’Arcy has been a viable piece for the Orange, showing offensive versatility as a defenseman.
“Those were definitely two points we needed today." Syracuse finished with 44 shots on target in its 2-1 win over Robert Morris for just its third conference win of the season.
