Syracuse field hockey head coach Ange Bradley was named 2008 Coach of the Year by womensfieldhockey.com.
Bradley led the Orange (22-2) to its first-ever No. 1 ranking as well as the first Final Four berth in the program's history in her second season at SU. Syracuse finished the season second in scoring defense. But the Orange was known for its offense. SU outscored its opponents 116-25. The 116 shattered the old school record of 58.
Under Bradley's direction, the Orange clinched a spot in the NCAA tournament with its Big East tournament championship.
Bradley and her team's season ended in the Final Four in Louisville with a 3-2 loss to Wake Forest in the national semifinal.
Six other members of the team were honored by womensfieldhockey.com as well. Senior midfielder Shannon Taylor and sophomore forward Lindsey Conrad were named first-team All-Americans. Freshman midfielder Martina Loncarica and senior goalkeeper Heather Hess were named second and third-team
All-Americans, respectively. Loncarica and fellow freshman Anne-Sophie Van der Post were named to the All-Rookie team.
Ice hockey blows chance at sweep
The women's ice hockey team stopped its four-game losing streak Saturday against Carleton with a 3-1 win in Ottawa, Ontario. But the winning ways didn't last long. The Orange lost the following day against Ottawa in overtime, 4-3.
Sophomore co-captain Julie Rising got the Orange (4-11) on the board in the second period of the first game. Her short-handed goal at 13:02 in the period put SU up, 1-0. But Carleton converted on the powerplay less than two minutes later. Jacqueline Everson found Jennifer Slewidge at 11:31 of the second stanza to even the score at one.
Freshman forward Kylie Klassen put the game-winner by the Ravens' goalie with 10:21 remaining in the game. Defender Kelly Dimmen gave SU an insurance goal 50 seconds later on the powerplay.
Allison Lee played in goal for Syracuse, turning away 11-of-12 shots she faced.
