Syracuse releases schedule featuring games against 8 of country’s Top 10 teams

The Syracuse women’s lacrosse schedule was released Thursday afternoon, and it includes eight of Inside Lacrosse’s preseason Top 10 teams.

Coming off a trip to the national championship game last season, the Orange — ranked No. 4 in Inside Lacrosse’s preseason poll — will face the three other final four teams from 2014 and the other seven teams that reached the quarterfinals.

SU’s season opens at home on Feb. 7 against Denver at noon, followed by a matchup with Canisius at 7:30 p.m.

Syracuse begins Atlantic Coast Conference play on Feb. 23 against Virginia in the Carrier Dome. The Orange will play its first road game of the season on March 7 against Maryland in a rematch of the 2014 national championship game.
