In their final tune-up game before the season opener, the Orange men’s lacrosse team shut down a solid Maryland squad 10-7.

Syracuse’s defensive unit performed admirably in the first half, limiting Maryland’s high-octane offense to just seven shots. Junior goalkeeper John Galloway was solid, allowing only one goal in the half. Junior defender John Lade provided excellent leadership, picking off several passes during key Terrapin possessions and quickly sending the ball back to the offensive side.
