Syracuse (6-14-2, 5-4-1 CHA) began its three-game stretch of games away from Tennity Ice Pavilion today, as it faced off against in-state rival Colgate (20-3-1, 10-2-0 ECAC) in Hamilton. The game was tied going into the final period before SU ultimately fell to the Raiders, 2-1.

Syracuse’s Abbey Miller was back in net after two straight starts by freshman Edith D’Astous-Moreau. Miller had 30 saves for the game, but a goal by Colgate’s Shae Labbe at the 12:30 mark of the third period put the Raiders on top for good. Syracuse has had trouble against the Raiders of late, last defeating Colgate in the 2014-2015 season.

Colgate was first to score, as Jackie Leone scored on an unassisted goal at the 17:45 mark of the second period. Six minutes later, the Orange answered with its lone goal via a power-play score by SU’s Brooke Avery, her ninth goal of the season. SU was outshot by the Raiders 32-21.

The Orange was successful on the penalty kill, killing all four of Colgate’s opportunities. The Raiders were able to deny the Orange on five of its six power-play opportunities, though, and Colgate’s Liz Auby was able to save 20 of SU’s 21 shots on goal.

The Orange has lost seven of its last eight games. Syracuse takes the ice again at conference rival Penn State this weekend.
