It was a big week of college lacrosse with upset wins from Harvard and Georgetown, and Denver facing off against North Carolina in one of the matchups of the year. We take a look at all of the best action in this week’s college lacrosse wrapup.
The third-ranked Orange travel for their first away game of the season as they take on 15th ranked Virginia Friday night at Klockner Stadium in each team’s ACC opener. This will be the 31st overall meeting between the two legendary teams, with Virginia holding the slight 16-15 edge in the series. The Orange are coming off of a highly-contested 9-8 win over Army West Point last week inside the Carrier…
Senior goalie Warren Hill made a career-high 10 saves and midfielder Tim Barber scored the eventual game-winning goal as the Orange escaped the Black Knights 9-8 Sunday night at the Carrier Dome. The scoring began with a Cole Johnson unassisted goal after the Black Knights stymied the Orange offense for the first two minutes of the game. Derek DeJoe tied things up at one before Connor Cook‘s man-up goal and Tim Coll gave Army a surprising 3-1…
The USA Patriot Act was passed back in 2001, which had a backronym of “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001.” The act helped strengthen security measures throughout our country, and increased the wait time at our airports. There are many Patriots throughout American history, from the Patriot Act, to the New England Patriots and Pat Patriot, to Mel Gibson…
Syracuse stormed out of the gate early in the first quarter en route to a 16-7 victory over in-state rival Albany Sunday afternoon in the Carrier Dome. The Orange came into Sunday’s game without graduate transfer attackman Nick Piroli, who head coach John Desko said would be week-to-week with a lower-body injury. Senior Tim Barber took his place, as he spent some time at attack last season when Randy Staats was injured. Barber…
Madness? THIS. IS. FEBRUARY LACROSSE! If you don’t know what movie that sort of is from, it’s from 300 (and you should probably watch at least that scene right now). We have a great slate of Division I games this weekend, including six of the top ten teams in the nation taking on another ranked team. Many of these games are on Saturday, so set aside your Saturday. SATURDAY #1…
Weekday lacrosse games aren’t the most exciting on paper, but can provide some good excitement if you tune in to some of these games. And it’s rare that there’s a top five matchup on a weekday. The highlight of the work week comes from Division III, where a top five matchup will take place Wednesday in Maryland, with No. 2 Lynchburg taking on No. 5 Salisbury. This game was originally…
The Orange opened up their 100th season with a big bang, as they defeated in-state foe Siena 18-5 in front of 2,736 spectators who braved the extremely dangerous weather outside to watch some lacrosse inside the Carrier Dome. The highlight was Dylan Donahue’s nine points on the day, which included four goals and a career-high five assists in a new role as the team’s quarterback of the offense. The starting…
Achieving 100 in nearly anything is worth celebrating. Whether a person turns 100-years-old, or someone gets 100 wins, or someone gets 100% on a test, the number is a very magical one. For Syracuse, they turn 100 years old since first fielding a team back in 1916, and they will celebrate it all year long. It started in the fall with the team getting these chrome helmets: And there will…
Remember last week’s preview when I said this: “And with a mainly mild winter (except for last weekend with a huge snowstorm throughout the east coast), we may not see many games getting postponed due to snow!” Well, I was sort of right, for now. Sort of, because the east coast is gonna get bone-crushing cold this weekend that is altering the college lacrosse schedule throughout all divisions. Some games…
