Brian and I are live from Gillette Stadium for the "North Regional" of the NCAA Lacrosse Championship. Game 1 is #1 Syracuse vs. unranked Maryland; game 2 is #5 Duke vs. #4 Notre Dame. The first game features the top seeded Orange, who have never lost in Foxboro, against the unseeded Terrapins, who upset North Carolina last week with some trickery. The second game is a rematch of last year's National Championship game; no doubt the Irish are looking for a little revenge. I'll have coverage here on Orange::44, while Brian has things over at CollegeCrosse. Lacrosse coverage coming at you from all angles!Labels: Open Thread, Syracuse Lacrosse
Both defenses and goalies looking good in the early going.
Jeremy Thompson with the first goal for Syracuse at 3:03 in the first.
Defensive struggle as goals are hard to come by. Syracuse up 1-0 after the first quarter.
Jovan Miller with the goal at 4:45 to put Syracuse up 2-0.
Drew Snider puts it in for Maryland. 2-1 Syracuse, 3:58 in the half.
Syracuse really needs a Danny Brennan out there. Faceoffs killing them.
The half ends tied 2-2. This faceoff situation will be the death of Syracuse if they don't fix it in the second half.
