The No. 4 Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team got dominated in their return to the Dome on Saturday, falling to the No. 9 Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 18-11.
For the second consecutive game, the story was the Orange getting dominated at the face-off X. After going 8-of-32 against Duke, SU went 9-of-32 (28 percent) today against the Irish. As you would expect, they also got beaten badly in the ground ball game, getting more than doubled up, 45-20.
Put those together and you have a recipe for Notre Dame controlling 66 percent of the possession, a disaster for a Syracuse team that has the talent on offense but needs the ball in order to do anything about it.

Brendan Curry reads defenses like they’re “dealing cards face up.”
That’s how Curry’s high school coach describes the All-American’s abilities. Curry always knows where his five offensive teammates are and where they’re going to be. He can dish the ball from the invert at X, from the top of the box and from the wings. He can feed from anywhere because he’s “the smartest player on the field,” said Torre Kasemeyer, Calvert Hall (Maryland) High School’s offensive coordinator and Curry’s current shooting coach.
