Men’s lacrosse suffers first loss of the season to Maryland
SU men’s lacrosse suffered their first loss of the season Saturday, losing to the defending national champion Maryland 15-12 in College Park, Maryland. While the Orange outscored the Terrapins in the final two quarters, their 9-5 deficit after two was too much for them to overcome.
Nine players scored a goal for the Orange, including freshman phenom Joey Spallina, who had an absurd goal, behind the back, no-look that caught the internet by storm.
Next up for Gary Gait and company is a matchup against North Carolina Saturday at the JMA Wireless Dome.

Syracuse basketball lands seven foot big man recruit
Syracuse men’s basketball secured their first recruit from the class of 2023 this past week, 7’2″ big William Patterson.
Patterson, from Brooklyn, New York, has a nice opportunity to compete with freshman big Peter Carey, who is out for the year due to injury, for the starting spot that will possibly be open next year due to senior center Jesse Edwards graduating.
While Patterson is the only recruit for the class of 2023, he presumably will join a litany of young talent that the Orange currently have including freshmen Justin Taylor, Maliq Brown, and Chris Bell.
