Coming off a narrow road loss to #8 Ohio State (6-4), the Pioneers had a chance to earn a statement win against the ranked Orange. At halftime, the score was close (6-5 Syracuse) but a six-goal Syracuse third quarter looked to bury Denver. However, the Pioneers rallied in the fourth quarter and forged a chance to tie the contest in the final minute. DU’s attempted game-tying shot bounced wide of the cage and Syracuse left with the win, 13-12. Continue reading Syracuse Uses Six Goal Third Quarter to Escape Denver Rally, 13-12
