The longest game in program history ends in heartbreak.

Syracuse fired 45 shots toward RIT goaltender Ali Binnington during Saturday's CHA title game, more than enough to create a few golden scoring chances.

But it could only convert once and let a golden playoff opportunity slip away.

The Orange took an early lead on a redirection goal by Emily Costales, but couldn't light the lamp in overtime as RIT fought back for a 2-1 victory and an automatic berth in the NCAA championship tournament.

Sisters Carly and Cayley Mercer lead Clarkson past Syracuse, 2-1.

Sparked by two goals and an assist from the Mercer sisters, senior Carly and sophomore Cayley, No. 3 Clarkson (4-0) doubled up the Orange, 2-1, in front of 234 fans at Tennity Ice Pavilion.

Despite being outshot 41-18, Syracuse stayed within striking distance the entire game. However, it just couldn’t muster enough offense.
