The Syracuse University field hockey team heads into the Big East tournament as the number one seed thanks to a 6-0 record in conference. The regular season champions finished a stellar regular season at 16-2. The Orange open play Saturday at 11 a.m. against Providence, who is hosting this year's tournament. "It's their field," said senior Tracy Dietrick. "They are going to want to win it."

Coach Ange Bradley leads Syracuse into its third straight Big East tournament. Last year's team took home the championship and she expects the same effort this time around. "I think they're ready. They know that they have one game before them on Saturday," she said. "And if they want another game they have to earn it.
