The Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team closed out the 2021 regular season with their most prolific scoring day of the year, putting three touchdowns on the board for a football final score of 21-14 over the
Robert Morris Colonials on Friday afternoon.
That’ll do it from the Dome.
The Orange exploded out of the gates in this one, scoring NINE goals in the opening quarter and 14 in the first half, and never really looking back from that start. In fact, SU got up by three goals late in the first quarter, and Robert Morris never got closer than that the rest of the game.

After the 2018 season, High Point’s Asher Nolting and Chris Gray were spoken about in the same breath as two of the best freshmen in college lacrosse. In 2019, they had two of the most productive seasons in recent memory as Nolting put up 92 points and Gray put up 108. Last spring, Gray debuted at North Carolina after transferring from BU and Nolting’s production slipped a bit, posting 33 point in eight games as the Panthers started 2-6 before the season was shut down.
Now, they’re on a collision course for Tuesday afternoon as the Panthers and Tar Heels adjusted to Bellarmine’s recent 14-day program pause, opening up an opportunity for the North Carolina foes to meet at 2 p.m. on ACC Network in a battle of undefeateds.
