Men’s lacrosse falls to ACC opponent
Syracuse men’s lacrosse fell to Duke on Sunday 14-13 in overtime, extending their losing streak to three after starting off the year winning three straight.
Syracuse had a 5-1 lead after the first frame, but was outscored 11-5 to help the Blue Devils storm back and take a lead at one point.
Seven players scored goals for the team in the contest, including graduate student midfielder Cole Kirst, who had four in the contest.
After losing three straight, the Orange are officially out of Inside Lacrosse’s Top 20, but will look to rejoin it with a strong performance against their next opponent, Inside Lacrosse’s 10th ranked team, Johns Hopkins, who they’ll play on Saturday at 4:00 p.m.
Syracuse softball swept by ACC opponent
After losing to Rutgers on Feb. 26, Syracuse softball suffered a sweep to ACC opponent Clemson this past weekend.
Through the first two contests, the SU team was outscored 12-1. But in the last game of the series, the team put up a valiant effort behind a dominant performance by freshman pitcher Madison Knight, who tallied her first complete game where she yielded only one run to the Tigers.
The team will now travel across the country to face Harvard, UC San Diego and California Baptist University in the Lance Up Invitational in Riverside, California. The team still has over three weeks until their first home game of the year.
