The Orange field hockey team continued its early season domination thanks to a late goal.
No. 6 Syracuse (6–0) extended its home winning streak to 38 games on Sunday with a late goal by senior Leonie Geyer that put the Orange ahead 1–0 over Ohio State University with just under five minutes left in the game.
Home-field advantages play key roles in the success of a team throughout the course of the season.

The quest to New Orleans for a National Championship is over for the Syracuse Orange after a 77-70 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Early foul trouble forced SU out of its typical rotations and the Buckeyes made them pay by getting to the free throw line. Brandon Triche led the Orange with 15 points but the Syracuse offense was unable to get into a rhythm without contributions from Dion Waiters, who faced foul trouble.
