Virginia would get on the board first with a goal from Ashlyn McGoverm, but Syracuse would answer one minute later with a Meaghan Tyrrell goal, assisted by Emma Ward.
Emma Tyrrell followed with her first of the night before Virginia’s Rachel Clark tied it.
Ward scored the first of her four goals to retake the lead, but Clark had another answer for it.
The Cavaliers would take the lead back when Mackenzie Hoeg found Morgan Schwab. Then, two goals from Olivia Adamson and Emma Tyrrell within the last minute of the first quarter gave the Orange the lead, and they ran with it.
Maddy Baxter, Sierra Cockerille, Meaghan Tyrrell, Megan Carney and Ward all scored in the second quarter making it 12-6 heading into the half.
The Orange went 10-of-13 from the draw thanks to Katie Goodale and Olivia Adamson, who combined for 13 draw controls to give Syracuse a 21-11 edge in the draw circle.
Virginia would only score three more goals, one of those being from McGovern, who had a hat trick on the day, to the Orange’s nine in the second half.
It’s the seventh time this season that Syracuse has held their opponents to less than 10 goals and the third time they have scored 20 or more goals.
Ward had a career high 10 points with four goals and six assists, while Meaghan Tyrrell was one point shy of her with three assists, tying her own season high of six goals.
Their perfect record will be tested again this coming Saturday when the Orange host no. 22 Clemson at 2 p.m. at Cicero-North Syracuse High School.
