I’m not a huge fan of recapping Fall Ball events, mainly because it doesn’t really show anyone anything about what to expect. So take this with a grain of salt. Syracuse participated with the Naval Academy and Towson on Sunday to wrap up their Fall Ball slate. It was a tale of two teams, but we’ll take it slowly. First, the Orange took on Navy early in the morning, which…
With the departing of some long time starters and game changers, who will become the next backstop to a national champion? Jake Runkel won his title with Loyola, Niko Amato came close during his tenure at Maryland as they topped the All American Balloting. Gunnar Waldt – Bryant With a win in the NCAA Tournament in the vaunted Carrier Dome under his belt, Waldt is in contention to be…
WHO: Syracuse and St. Johns WHERE: Kennesaw, GA WHAT: Cobb County Lacrosse Classic WHEN: Saturday, March 8 @ 4 pm SYRACUSE Woof. What a rough road it’s been. Despite stellar performances on offense and the same defense as previous seasons, the Orange’s shortcomings all come down to one factor: realignment. In 2015, NCAA lacrosse divisions and conferences are being reorganized to better reflect other sports in the league and…
WHO: Syracuse @ Virginia WHERE: Charlottesville, VA WHEN: TODAY! Noon SYRACUSE The Orange are coming off one of their most brutal losses in recent memory. I could not begin to describe my disappointment last week as a ‘Cuse fan. However, many games come down to referees and in-game moments. Maryland deserved the win as they have become one of the greatest lacrosse programs in the modern lax world. All…
In front of 5,283 at Syracuse’s Carrier Dome, the fifth-ranked Maryland Terrapins defeated the No. 2 Syracuse Orange 16-8 on Saturday afternoon. The Terrapins second quarter 10-goal charge led them to an impressive victory over the Orange. Freshman Midfielder Connor Cannizzaro and Attackman Jay Carlson led the Terrapins in scoring with four points each, on three goals and one assist. Matt Rambo also contributed to the Terrapins’ win tallying two…
A record 30 games were played in NCAA Division 1 on Saturday in the last weekend of play in February. Below is a quick recap of my observations from today’s Syracuse vs. Maryland game. The Terps came into the Carrier Dome for the first time since 1983 and won 19 of 27 face offs and outshot Syracuse 55-32 to double up Syracuse 16-8. Junior Charlie Raffa was the man of the…
Last week’s rankings saw North Carolina on top of the pack, with Syracuse and Northwestern right on their heels. After a week’s worth of play, were the Tarheel’s able to remain on top, or did Syracuse bump them down to number two? 1. Syracuse- I was hard-pressed to remove North Carolina from the number one spot, but the Orange has played one game more than the Tarheels, and…
Overtime is the early theme in the 2014 college season. With the expanded field, these one-goal affairs could play a factor when determining the bubble teams. Otherwise, it was a good week for the ACC. We saw some impressive victories by some of the up-and-coming programs. If these February games are any indication, we might be in for a bedeviling season. 1 Duke (2-0)—Duke got a head start and won…
WHO: Albany Great Danes and Syracuse Orange WHERE: Carrier Dome, Syracuse, NY WHEN: Sunday, February 16, 4 pm Syracuse Orange After staying unbeaten in all four preseason scrimmages and thrashing down on Siena in the season opener 19-7, the Orange Men’s lacrosse program is already living up to their top-rank position. In the opener against Siena, Attackman Dylan Donahue recorded a career high eight goals and one assist. Donahue…
We are heading into the first week of the NCAA lacrosse season, and already have a ton of injuries to report. To start, Loyola sophomore Zach Herreweyers will miss the entire season. He missed their preseason game against North Carolina last weekend. Jimmy Bitter sat out this weekend with an injury for North Carolina but he is expected to play this week against Furman. The same goes for Joey Sankey….
