COLLEGE PARK, Md. – No. 4/4 Syracuse's upset bid of No. 2/2 Maryland came up just short as the Terrapins scored in overtime to record a 12-11 victory. The Orange are now 6-2 this season with their setbacks coming to the No. 1- and No. 2-ranked teams in the nation. "It was an exciting, back-and-forth game," said Syracuse head coach Gary Gait. "Again, I credit the defense as it made saves and gave us possession and a chance to win the game. We were better in the second half today. There's a lot we can learn from today that we can use moving forward." HOW IT HAPPENED The Orange won the draw to start the first three-minute overtime period. After Gait called timeout, a turnover gave Maryland (6-0) possession. But the Terrapins also turned it over and Syracuse couldn't get off a shot before the clock ran out and the teams switched sides for the second three-minute session of the first overtime. This time Maryland won the draw and drew a free-position. Hannah Warther passed the ball to Kali Hartshorn, who put her shot in the back of the net for the game winner, giving the Terrapins their 80th consecutive home victory.
