Bermudian midfielder Sachiel Ming and his Syracuse University team-mates produced a commanding second-half display to secure a 3-0 road victory over in-state rivals Colgate.
Following a tightly contested opening period, the Orange broke through just two minutes after the restart. Chimere Omeze opened his account for the season at the 47-minute mark, finishing a slick move orchestrated by Ivan Irinimbabazi and Gabriel Oksanen.
Syracuse doubled their advantage through Dakota Jonke, who seized on an opening to net his second goal of the campaign with an unassisted strike.
With Colgate pushing forward in search of a route back into the contest, Kelvin Da Costa put the result beyond doubt in the 90th minute, pouncing to score an unassisted effort for his first of the season and cap a clinical away performance.
Syracuse dominated the statistics at Beyer-Small '76 Field, outshooting the hosts 15-9 overall and 9-4 on target. Between the posts, goalkeeper Juan Martinez-Bastidas stood firm with four saves over the 90 minutes to ensure the clean sheet.
The victory improves Ming and the Orange to 5-3-0 on the season as they continue to build momentum ahead of their upcoming conference fixtures.
