Wouldn't be shocked if we didn't make the Top 10.

Too many questions, and too many better teams.
 

NO. 12 SYRACUSE​

2025 record: 10-9 (5-4 ACC)

Last seen: Ending a rocky 2025 with a nail-biting 9-8 loss at Yale in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Notable departures: Olivia Adamson, A (Northwestern); Emma Ward, A; Superia Clark, M (Florida State)

Notable Additions: Ella Peers, A; Mackenzie Borbi, M

Initial forecast: Losing the two strongest recruits in the country and what would have been Syracuse’s top scoring option next year in Olivia Adamson are big blows, but the Orange will return a large bulk of last year's depth. Just 20 percent of their offensive production is leaving, and Syracuse’s entire starting defense will return outside of Superia Clark.

Midfielder Emma Muchnick (34G, 7A) is the Orange’s most productive returning player alongside encouraging sophomores Caroline Trinkaus (32G, 11A) and Mileena Cotter (21G, 2A). How Syracuse will replace the production of Emma Ward and Adamson on attack is still a major question for new head coach Regy Thorpe.

Seems a fair analysis but Adamson was basically gone all season.
A lot of young players got a lot of game experience.
We need to figure out the face off position.
I think our defense will be the strength of the team.
I have confidence that at the end of the season we could be top 5.
Now if we can stop losing ny players to North Carolina we could really take the next step and win a championship.
 
Florida overrated, Stanford underrated. Syracuse appropriately rated. They should have put a big gap between bc nw unc and the rest of the top ten.
 
Defensively they are as strong as anyone. Will take a little bit to establish the offense but adding Marissa white was huge for them. She is a stud and will be given the keys immediately.

I wish SU could play them early in the season and not the last game of regular season.
