Each game was decided by one goal and another classic could be in store on Saturday. The Orange will travel to South Bend, Indiana to play its first true road game of the year.

Syracuse Storms Past Duke 19-7

March 23, 2015

Kevin Rice pumped his arms above his head with two hands on his stick as if he was performing a bench press. And then he did it again. And again. It was an homage to Randy Staats, who missed No. 1 Syracuse’s (7-0, 2-0 Atlantic Coast) 19-7 win over No. 4 Duke (7-2, 0-1) with a lower-body injury and usually celebrates goals with this hand gesture. And even without its…

Syracuse Stays Strong in Georgia

March 8, 2015

Syracuse defeated St. John’s with a score of 14-6. While that may seem like what many expected, the way that score came about matched nobody’s expectations. The first half of lacrosse had echoes of last year’s NCAA opener against Bryant for Syracuse’s offense. St. John’s picked up right where they left off in their last game where they took a great Yale squad down to the wire to lose in…

Syracuse Battles Red Storm in Georgia

March 7, 2015

Syracuse is playing St. John’s in the Cobb County Classic in Georgia. The event is the brainchild of former Orange attackman Liam Banks as part of his LB3 lacrosse organization. These teams played each other in the same event last year with Syracuse being the victors 14-8.

Syracuse and Army Highlight NCAA Sunday

February 22, 2015

When Army and Syracuse play on Sunday evening in the Carrier Dome, they are restarting one of my favorite series on the Syracuse schedule. This rivalry took a year off because of the Orange’s move to the ACC last year, which put Maryland into the weekend typically reserved for Army’s visit. With Maryland’s departure from the ACC, the Army date is back on. Army and Syracuse both are typically loaded…
