No. 4 Syracuse’s game against Georgetown, scheduled for Tuesday, has been postponed due to COVID-19 within the Hoyas’ program. The game has been moved to April 6 at 1 p.m., according to a release from Georgetown Athletics.

Syracuse’s season-opener is still scheduled for Saturday at No. 5 Loyola. The Orange are 14-6 all-time against Loyola and were set to face off with the Greyhounds last season, but that game, among many others, was canceled due to the pandemic.

Syracuse, led in attack by All-American Emily Hawryschuk, returns 10 of 11 of seniors as the Orange chase their first national championship in program history. With the Georgetown game postponed, SU’s two-game road trip is cut in half before the team returns to Syracuse for its home-opener in another ranked matchup against Stony Brook.

These three games against Loyola, Georgetown and Stony Brook will serve as precursors to the start of Atlantic Coast Conference play. The ACC includes seven teams ranked in the top 20.
