The match held special significance as it marked Senior Day, honoring twelve dedicated seniors who have left their mark on the program. The celebration kicked off in the 27th minute when senior Kate Murphy found the back of the net, thanks to a well-placed corner kick by Ava Uribe. Murphy executed a stunning volley, connecting perfectly and scoring on her first touch to give the Orange an early lead. Murphy reflected on her time at Syracuse and what it meant to score on her final senior day at SU Stadium, "It was really special to see everything that's happened throughout my career being my fifth year now, the team's constantly getting better, and it's just really amazing to see it all come together." Building on the momentum, Syracuse continued to dominate the match. In the 39th minute, Freshman Vita Naihin scored her first collegiate career goal. She added to the tally with a one-touch finish, set up by Moo Galbus, who skillfully maneuvered into the box before delivering a precise cross. Erin Flurey sealed the victory in the 59th minute, scoring with assistance from Ashley Rauch. Rauch's pass slipped through the defense, allowing Flurey to make a skillful run onto the ball and shoot. The ball deflected off the keeper and then ricocheted back off Flurey into the net, securing the Orange's win. Head Coach Nicky Adams was asked how the team looked to take on opponents like St. Bonaventure in non-conference play, and she responded, "I just love how my players are so calm. Cool and collected under pressure, we stick to our identity and get the job done." With this victory, Syracuse concludes their non-conference play with an impressive 6-1-1 record, tying the third-best start in program history. The Orange will now shift their focus to the ACC conference as they head on the road to face the SMU Mustangs on Thursday, September 12, at 7 p.m. in Dallas, Texas.
