The Real Reason Why Syracuse Lax Has Become an ACC Cellar Dweller
The worst season in Syracuse men‚Äôs lacrosse history is finally over. We all knew this was a program in rebuild mode coming into the season. What we did not know is that the house that needed a remodel needed to be completely gutted and bulldozed. This SU team brought in some high level architects in…

Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse vs #5 UVA
The worst year in major Syracuse athletics continues to get worse. SU dropped its fifth consecutive game and really demonstrated just how far it must go to get back to a relevant level in the ACC. UVA clinched a share of the regular season conference title with the win in the Dome. Perhaps people thought…

Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse @ #15 UNC
Sigh. Syracuse comes up short in another game it should have won. SU came back with a big fourth quarter and took a 13-12 lead with about two minutes to go but couldn’t hold on. UNC punched in a pair of late scores to survive the ‘Cuse in Chapel Hill. This was a very impressive…

Three Keys for Syracuse to Upset #15 UNC
Gary Gait and company hit the road for their regular season finale on Saturday bound for Chapel Hill. Syracuse looks to keep its season alive with a win as at 4-7 a loss would all but eliminate the Orange from postseason play. SU hasn’t suffered a losing season since 2007 but that history is dangerously…

Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse @ #16 Notre Dame
Well that was ugly. Notre Dame scored three touchdowns and added a two-point conversion in a 22-6 win over Syracuse on Saturday. This is the most goals SU has conceded since last year’s 22-8 drubbing at the hands of the Fighting Irish. Furthermore, the 16 goal shellacking is the largest the ‘Cuse has absorbed in…

Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse vs #10 Duke
Duke might be the worst team in the ACC this year; however, let’s not takeaway from Syracuse’s spectacular two-way effort against the #10 Blue Devils on Saturday. SU needed to shut down one guy and it did from start to finish. The ACC’s leader in scoring, Brennan O’Neill, was mitigated to just three goals as…

Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse @ Stony Brook
Syracuse flexed its muscle (however small or large it may be) in a 14-9 win over Stony Brook. SU and Stony traded blows in the first half much like they did in 2021, but things changed after halftime. The Orange outscored the Seawolves 5-1 in the third quarter to breakaway to a five goal win.…

Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse @ #19 Johns Hopkins
This is a game we will look back on at the ends of the 2022 Syracuse Lacrosse season with sheer disappointment. SU dominated this game outshooting JHU 54-29, winning the face-off battle 14-7, and forcing 21 turnovers. Nine out of ten times, the team with the upper-hand in each of those categories wins the game,…
-
Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse @ #2 Virginia
Well if the game had started at 12:25 p.m. instead of noon, Syracuse would’ve been okay in this one. SU dropped its second consecutive game over the weekend to #2 Virginia. The Orange were outscored 8-1 in the first quarter and allowed 20 goals for the whole game. Let’s look back at some highlights and…

Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse vs. #1 Maryland
The first loss of the Gary Gait era is in the books but if anyone would earn that honor it would be the #1 team in the land. Syracuse was put in a 25-foot hole early but climbed its way back in it and even got as close as peering its head above ground. However,…
-
Fizz Film Room: ‘Cuse Lacrosse vs Holy Cross
Syracuse made a statement last weekend against Holy Cross. The Orange peppered the Crusaders with 28 goals and took care of business against a lesser opponent. It’s difficult to really put a whole lot of stock in a blowout win over a very below average Patriot League team. With that said, there were some positives…

SU Is At Risk Of Its Worst Sports Year In Decades
As we plod on into mid-February, an oasis would typically be materializing on the horizon.

We entered this season expecting the team to race on towards its usual destiny, but things changed. This…

Syracuse Destines ‘Air Gait’ to Restore Order on the Hill
Last season didn‚Äôt meet the standards, nor the expectations of Syracuse lacrosse. The Orange stumbled all year and inconsistent play found them limp to a 7-6 finish and early exit from the NCAA Tournament. Now, rebuilding or reloading seasons are warranted every now and then but 2021‚Äôs version of SU lax was far from that.¬†…

Is it Time for Syracuse to Move On from John Desko?
Syracuse Lacrosse disappointed. There’s a laundry list of reasons why. However, just like with every college sport, the buck has to stop with the head coach. In his 23rd season as the leader of SU, John Desko failed to take one of the most talented teams in Orange history past the first round of the…

Here’s Why Chase Scanlan Was Arrested but the Investigation is Still Open
Compared to the ugliness SU fans braced for, Chase Scanlan being arrested on a misdemeanor today felt extremely light. Friday morning on South Campus, Scanlan was arrested on what amounts to a destroyed phone.

Tim Nelson was part of arguably the best pair in Syracuse history. He and Brad Kotz led the Orange to a national championship in 1983, and national championship appearances the next two seasons.
