Syracuse University will welcome a Division-I hockey team beginning in October. In the mean time, the women's club team calls the rink at Tennity Pavilion home. Before their final game of the season, many of the athletes made it clear just how much they are looking forward to welcoming the D-I team to Syracuse. Current club team member Alison Lee looks forward to the competition the D-I team will bring to the club team.
"I believe that it will bring higher quality players to the club team" said Lee before the teams last game of the season.
And other members, like Sophie Pitt, cannot wait for the opportunity to play Division I hockey.
"D-I [...] we'll give them a run for their money" said Pitt.
Syracuse University hosted the Northeast Women's Hockey Association Spring Tournament which included teams from Rochester, Potsdam, Brockport, and Niagara. The University made room for the Division I team by cutting the swimming and diving programs. University Athletic Director Daryl Gross plans to name a coach after the Frozen Four at the end of the month.
