After 4 years with Syracuse, Madison Knight has signed with the Professional Softball League’s New York Rise. Knight was a 2-way sensation at SU and hit a career-high 15 home runs in 2026 @DOsports.

For the second straight season, Syracuse softball missed the ACC Tournament. @gabe_ewen analyzes the numbers behind SU’s horrid campaign, which included 10 game cancellations and 43 different lineups.

[The Daily Orange @dailyorange]

Syracuse softball finished its 2026 season 4-18 in ACC play and 18-26 overall. From inconsistent hitting to lackluster defense, a variety of factors contributed to SU’s poor campaign. @spencerbrod20 grades key position groups for the Orange.

“They’re just the better team.” Virginia Tech knocked five home runs in its 12-1 run-rule win over Syracuse Sunday. It’s the first time SU has been mercy-ruled in all three games of a series since 2019, from @PeterRadosh.

Syracuse’s season ended earlier today against Virginia Tech. For a second straight year SU’s season ends in early May and without an appearance in the ACC Tournament. Here’s my story ⤵️

[Daily Orange Sports @DOsports]

Syracuse softball’s season concluded Sunday with a 12-1 run-rule loss to No. 17 Virginia Tech. The Hokies exploded for five home runs and 14 hits, plunging SU to a 4-18 finish in Atlantic Coast Conference play, from @gabe_ewen.

Here’s my story on yesterday’s result, which eliminated the Orange from ACC postseason contention ⤵️

[Daily Orange Sports @DOsports]

Syracuse softball dropped its fifth straight game Saturday, officially eliminating it from playoff contention. The Orange took an early 2-0 lead, but Virginia Tech’s 13 runs across the final three innings sealed its 13-2 win, from @gabe_ewen.

I’m here at Skytop Softball Stadium with @gabe_ewen as Syracuse ends its 2026 slate against Virginia Tech. We’ll have all coverage for @DOsports

Erika Zamora was a senior in high school without a Division I offer when she decided to deconstruct her swing and build it back up. Now, the second-year Syracuse infielder is on the doorstep of breaking out, from @gabe_ewen.

Jadyn Burney and her father Maurice call after each game. Thirteen hundred miles away from home, it’s Jadyn’s time to analyze her plays. @PeterRadosh has how it’s helped make her SU’s most consistent hitter this season.

Syracuse softball’s ACC woes continued in its 13-7 loss to No. 25 Louisville Sunday. SU was swept in conference play for the fourth time in 2026 and is on the verge of missing the ACC Tournament for the second straight year.

[Daily Orange Sports @DOsports]

Syracuse’s solid defensive efforts proved insignificant as it failed to convert with runners in scoring position in Saturday’s 5-1 loss to No. 25 Louisville. The loss drops SU to 4-14 in ACC play.

[Daily Orange Sports @DOsports]

Syracuse led 5-0 in the fifth inning but allowed 10 fifth-inning runs en route to a 13-5 mercy-rule loss to No. 25 Louisville Friday. SU remains winless against ranked opponents with the defeat.

Syracuse took one of two yesterday at Buffalo, scoring all six of its runs on the day in a single inning. Here's my story ⤵️

[Daily Orange Sports @DOsports]

Syracuse split its doubleheader against Buffalo Tuesday, losing Game 1 4-0 before a 6-2 win in Game 2. The Orange didn’t score in 13 of their 14 innings, but a six-run third inning in the second game was enough to earn a win.

Down 0-2 in the series, Syracuse rallied from down 0-2 in the game Sunday, collecting a win this weekend on the back of another quintessential Madison Knight performance. As a player and a leader. Here’s my story ⤵️

[Daily Orange Sports @DOsports]

Syracuse’s Madison Knight hit two home runs, including a walk-off dinger in the Orange’s 3-2 win over Notre Dame Sunday. Her two homers batted in all three of SU’s runs during the contest. https://t.co/2rHC7g7jgt

[Daily Orange Sports @DOsports]

“The last at-bat was exactly what my walk-up song is: 'Go Big or Go Home.'” Madison Knight’s walkoff homer — Syracuse softball’s first since 2022 — lifted the Orange to a 3-2 win over Notre Dame, from @PeterRadosh.

And the top of the lineup comes through. Madison Knight goes opposite field and walks it off. 3-2 Syracuse

[Gabe Ewen @gabe_ewen]

I’m here with @PeterRadosh at Skytop Softball Stadium for Syracuse’s weekend series finale against Notre Dame. First pitch is in 10 minutes. I’ll have live updates for @DOsports

[Gabe Ewen @gabe_ewen]

And the top of the 7th goes 1-2-3. Verni with another swinging strikeout. Lantier then top up next for the Orange in the bottom of the 7th
