The Orange were upset 15-14 by Harvard over the weekend for their second straight loss. Before Saturday, the Crimson were 0-18 against the Orange.
If you told Syracuse (3-2) before the game it’d have a 28-4 advantage on draw controls, the Orange would’ve thought it was an easy win over the Crimson. Instead Syracuse wasted the massive face-off opportunities, turning it over a season-high 15 times. The Orange also had 27 shots on goal compared to Harvard’s 24.
Goaltender Jimmy McCool was pulled after allowing 10 goals and saving five shots. Syracuse replaced him with Michael Ippoliti, who allowed five goals on nine shots. Orange coach Gary Gait said that McCool would remain the starter going forward. It was McCool’s first game saving less than 50% of the opposing team’s shots this season.
On top of the lopsided advantage in draw controls, Syracuse started the game with a 5-0 lead. It also had a man advantage after a late-game cross check from Harvard, but only scored one goal in the final minutes.
Along with a week off, Syracuse has a break from ranked opponents this weekend. Utah is 1-3 this season, most recently losing 11-10 to Vermont. Syracuse beat Vermont 13-5 on Feb. 7.
