Stellar all-around play keys unbeaten start for Syracuse By Jasmine Watkins CONTRIBUTING WRITER
With balanced scoring and staunch defense, the Orange has managed to remain undefeated going into conference play. Emma Russell, Kelsey Millman, Lauren Brooks and Gillian Pinder all lead the Orange in goals this season with three each. The luxury of having multiWho: Villanova ple players with Where: J.S. Coyne Stadium the ability to When: Friday, 4 p.m. score makes the team a nightmare to defend. “Our whole system, the way we move and reshape, it’s like a triangle offense in basketball,” head coach Ange Bradley said. “So when we reshape, if people are in the right place, our defense sets up our attack.” The No. 2 Orange (5-0) takes on Villanova (4-2) at 4 p.m. Friday at J. Stanley Coyne Stadium. And on Sunday, Syracuse plays Kent State (3-4) at home. The team focuses on all aspects of the game — both sides of the ball — and takes on different positions to keep its opponents off balance. It is not only the offense that should be credited with the winning streak, but also the team’s defense, which has allowed only three goals the entire season. While the Orange’s barrage of scoring stands out the most, goalkeeper Leann Stiver’s ability to do her job while also managing to focus on what the defense should be doing has been just as critical. “I work mostly with the backs, so the more I can communicate from the back and have them slide over, double-team and help each other, the less I have to actually step up and make saves,” she said. Stiver, who recorded her third shutout of the season against Boston University, stresses that offense and defense go hand in hand.

CALHOUN FROM PAGE 24
The 70-year-old Calhoun guided the Huskies to four Final Fours and three national championships. Calhoun won 873 games in his 40-year head coaching career, which began at Northeastern. Calhoun became UConn’s head coach in 1986 after coaching Northeastern for 14 seasons. While at Northeastern, he oversaw the transition of the program from Division II to Division I. He started his coaching career in the high school ranks. His first job was at Old Lyme High School in Connecticut, and he also coached at Massachusetts schools Westport High School and Dedham High School. In Calhoun’s 26 years at UConn, the Huskies also won 10 Big East regular-season championships and took the Big East tournament title seven times. He was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005. Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim spoke at an SU event on Wednesday and lauded Calhoun’s accomplishments. “I believe that Jim Calhoun has done the best job building a program in college basket-
“We know that the defense is just as important as the offense,” Stiver said. Russell believes that the key to their undefeated streak is their unselfishness and chemistry as a team. “I’m never thinking about scoring, to be honest; if I have a chance to score, I will,” she said. “If someone else is in a better position, I think it would definitely be smarter for them to take it.” Emphasis on team play is what will aid against SU’s Big East opponents, starting with Villanova. “It’s really important that we start off strong because the Big East Championship, we win that, and that is what gets us our ticket to the NCAA tournament,” Bradley said. The team will try to use home field to its advantage against Villanova on Friday. “In order to come in this week and have Villanova on our home turf, we want to work really hard and play for 70 minutes, and get a result that we’d be 1-0 in conference play this weekend,” Bradley said.
“If someone else is in a better position, I think it would definitely be smarter for them to take it.”

UNIVERSITY HILL REALTY No matter what the strategy is, the underlying rule of the team is teamwork, and Bradley can’t stress that enough. “I definitely think it’s more of a team thing,” said Bradley. “We have all three lines covered by experience, strong people with personalities and character that can come through in critical moments for us.”

ball,” Boeheim said, according to the SUinDC Twitter account. Calhoun’s departure is another blow to the storied program. The NCAA conducted a 15-month-long investigation into the program that ended in 2010. It found that Connecticut committed eight major violations, including reaching out to recruits and offering them improper benefits. Further controversy struck the program when Connecticut was ruled ineligible for the 2013 NCAA tournament because of low Academic Progress Rate scores. Calhoun also served a three-game suspension at the start of the Huskies’ Big East schedule last season because he did not maintain an “atmosphere of compliance.” Ollie takes over a team that saw Alex Oriakhi, Roscoe Smith and Michael Bradley transfer while Jeremy Lamb and Andre Drummond left for the NBA following the postseason ban. With Calhoun’s retirement, a long chapter in the history of UConn basketball is closed. “Connecticut basketball will never be the same,” Boeheim said Wednesday night, according to the SUinDC Twitter account. cjiseman@syr.edu @chris_iseman
