Coral Gables, Fla. (www.hurricanesports.com) – – Building on the momentum they established in Friday night’s upset win over Notre Dame volleyball, the Hurricanes will look to seal a spot in the BIG EAST Conference Championship Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Knight Sports Complex when they square off against Syracuse.

Syracuse is 19-10 overall and 5-6 in conference play, while UM is 23-4, 8-3.

The Hurricanes snapped Notre Dame’s 43-match regular season win streak over BIG EAST opponents with Friday night’s win.
