In the first five minutes of Saturday’s game, Syracuse’s offense only setup in the offensive zone once. And at the end of that possession was a disappointing turnover from the stick of Brendan Curry. Meanwhile, North Carolina poured in four goals and wrestled away any semblance of control the Orange may have thought they’d have playing in front of fans at the Carrier Dome.
A lack of possessions has become the common culprit in Syracuse’s losses this year. The offense certainly didn’t believe there was much the Tar Heels were doing defensively that slowed them down.

John Desko put both hands on his head and stared at the Carrier Dome turf beneath him. For the previous 35 minutes, heâd paced the Syracuse sidelines, yelling at players when they made errant passes, raising his arms in confusion when their clear attempts failed, trying to find the elusive solution thatâd help the Orange scrape away at a North Carolina lead that kept growing. But this time, with his gray mask resting on his chin and UNC players celebrating in front of him, Dekso stood still at the 25-yard line.
A cross-checking penalty by Grant Murphy with 10 minutes left in the third quarter erased a Drake Porter save seconds earlier. Syracuse trailed by eight, but the Tar Heels had already peppered its cage with six shots before the Orange located their second. Thatâs what happens when one defensive breakdown after another lumps together, when one elusive solution multiplied and becomes more difficult to fix.
