A struggling offense and off-the-field distractions derailed a promising start to the 2014 season.

Syracuse head coach Phil Wheddon had one word to sum up the 2014 season.

Disappointment.

Although the Orange strung together a decent start, it began to hit a lull during the middle of the campaign and struggled to capitalize on scoring chances, an issue that became even more prevalent against four ranked opponents at the end of the season. SU finished with an overall record of 5-10-4 and failed to qualify for the Atlantic Coast Conference and NCAA tournaments.

In its only exhibition game of the 2014 preseason, Syracuse piled up five goals in a win against Binghamton.

But during Friday's season opener against Missouri, scoring proved a much harder task for the Orange.

Freshman Street leads balanced attack with two goals during exhibition game.

Syracuse women's soccer trotted onto the pitch Saturday for an exhibition match against Binghamton without star sophomore Stephanie Skilton, who is currently playing in the FIFA U-20 World Cup for New Zealand.

But even with Skilton's absence, SU had no trouble finding the back of the net.

Nine different Orange players recorded a point, and freshman Sheridan Street led the way with two goals as Syracuse opened the season with a 5-3 win over the Bearcats at SU Soccer Stadium.
