Nicky Galasso to Miss 2013 Season

According to Inside Lacrosse, recent Syracuse transfer Nicky Galasso is expected to miss the entire 2013 season for the Orange.

Galasso, who recently transferred from North Carolina, sustained a lower body injury in a pre season practice and will have surgery. He is expected to miss all of 2013.

Galasso was described to have a leg injury this weekend when he was held out of two scrimmages against the Hofstra Pride and Holy Cross Crusaders.

Reports have said that the injury is a broken bone in in his foot, and not the same foot that bothered him when he played for the North Carolina Tar Heels last season. Galasso is a junior and he played for two seasons with the Tar Heels, and would have been a fantastic addition to the Orange for this season.

In 2011, Galasso was the ACC Freshman of the year in his first year of duty on the attack for the Tar Heels. The Orange have to worry about not getting his projected production this season.
