Syracuse held a 17-16 lead in a tightly contested first set and outscored the Eagles 8-6 down to stretch to win, 25-22. Gorelina chipped in three key kills and Christina Oyawale punched home the set-winning kill.
The Orange led 12-10 in the second set and used a 9-1 run to pull away. 'Cuse took the set 25-16 and out-blocked Boston College 4-0. Saada posted five kills and three digs along the way.
