No. 5 Syracuse remained undefeated on the young 2014 season with a dominant 5-1 win over Miami (Ohio) in Columbus on Saturday.
"Our kids played with a lot of maturity today," Orange head coach Ange Bradley told SU Athletics [8]. "Our offense still has to get better, but we're creating goal-scoring chances."
The Orange (2-0) was led by senior Lauren Brooks [9], who had two goals on the day. Brooks opened the scoring in the 17th minute with her first tally of the season.
SU pelted the RedHawks (0-1) with 17 shots in the first half, two of which resulted in goals.
The Orange eventually broke the game open with a three-goal spurt in the second half. Jordan Page, Lies Lagerweij and Brooks all scored to build a five-goal advantage.
Miami freshman Cooper Hudspeth scored the lone RedHawk goal in the 68th minute.
The Orange will continue its road trip through Ohio on Monday against Ohio University at 1 p.m.
