JoJo Marasco scored the game winning goal with 2:32 left to give Syracuse a 13-12 win over No. 7 Princeton Saturday at Princeton Stadium. The Orange scored the last three goals of the game to pull off the come-from-behind win.

Sophomore Henry Schoonmaker led the SU attack with a career-high six points (four goals and two assists). He also made a major contribution as a wing on faceoffs, helping the Orange rally with key ground ball pick-ups in the fourth quarter.

Syracuse started the game strong, taking a 3-0 lead in the first quarter, but Princeton rallied to tie the game at 5-5 by halftime. The Tigers took control heading into the fourth with a 9-7 lead and went up 12-10 halfway through the final period.

But the Orange got three easy looks late to pull ahead and hold on for the win.
