A late power play for the Lions opened up the opportunity for the game-winning goal with six seconds left in the contest.
The Syracuse University women’s ice hockey team fell to 7-8-2 on the season after losing to the Lindenwood Lions Friday night at Tennity Ice Pavilion by a score of 2-1. Senior Caitlin Roach scored the Orange’s loan goal and Jenesica Drinkwater made 20 saves in the loss. Lindenwood recorded just its second win of the season, improving to 2-13-2 on the year.
Syracuse scored four goals and held Boston College to one goal in a big ACC upset.
Senior goaltender Kallie Billadeau called it the biggest win in team history.
While that may or may not be true, there’s no doubt Syracuse (3-4) certainly made a statement against a national powerhouse Friday night.
Sparked by 43 saves from Billadeau and goals from four different skaters, the Orange surged past No. 3 Boston College (5-2), 4-1, in front of 258 fans at Tennity Ice Pavilion.
