Syracuse (0-1-1) lost to Bemidji State (1-0-1), 5-0, in its second game of the season at the Sanford Center in Bemidji, Minnesota. Syracuse was outmatched in almost every facet, getting outshot and penalized more than the Beavers.

After a 0-0 draw on Friday, the Orange never found its rhythm in a tough afternoon outing. BSU outshot SU by 10 and consistently fooled senior goalie Abbey Miller en route to a five-goal performance.

Forty seconds into the game, the Orange found itself down via an Emma Terres goal. In the first period, the Beavers dominated possession and saw Terres beat Miller twice in 11 minutes. A Bemidji State penalty six minutes into the frame allowed a brief stretch of control for the Orange, but its inability to convert was ultimately Syracuse’s downfall.

While only getting outshot by five in the second period, the Orange still failed to execute on the other side of the ice. Syracuse committed two penalties and allowed one goal in the second 20 minutes.

Down 3-0 entering the second period, the outlook was grim for SU.Just over a minute into the third period, the Beavers ended any chance of a comeback with an even strength goal.

While Syracuse tallied more faceoff wins than the Beavers, the Orange’s inability to capitalize on power plays and other quality chances was the difference.

The Orange are back in action on Friday, Oct. 6, at 4 p.m. against Wisconsin.
