Syracuse pulled away late in the first half and extended its lead throughout the contest to push past Northwestern, 11-7.

“No matter what players they have on the field they know how to win,” Alyssa Murray said. “I think that’s very telling of our team this year. We were able to dig deep and even though they came out and scored two quick ones on us, we were able to bounce back from that and make a good run on them to close out the game.”
