SYRACUSE, N.Y. – FDU (1-10, 1-4) fell by a score of 18-8 on Wednesday at the hands of Le Moyne (5-4, 4-0). The matchup in Syracuse was the first time these programs have ever met.

Jordan Santana extended her goal streak to eleven games with a strike that brought her 2024 goal total to 12.

Nora Codianni did her best to play the role of disruptor, causing three Le Moyne turnovers singlehandedly.
Le Moyne held slight edges in draw controls (15-14), shots (32-25), and shots on goal (23-17).
