The Orange were slated to play Lehigh Saturday at 6 p.m. at the Dome and then host Cornell next Tuesday, Dec. 21, at 9 p.m.
The athletics department said it is currently re-evaluating the schedule to determine if these games can be made up later this season and will provide further information about that down the line.

The Syracuse women’s basketball game scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday against the University of Maryland, Baltimore County is set to continue as planned, the athletics department announced.
