College Park, Md. The Syracuse lacrosse team’s season of high expectations ended with a thud on Saturday night.
Declan McDermott and Jake Carraway each scored five times, and Dylan Hess added four as Georgetown thrashed SU 18-8 in a first-round NCAA tournament game in College Park, Maryland.
Jamie Trimboli paced SU with three goals. Drake Porter made 15 stops in net for SU while his Hoyas counterpart, Owen McElroy, stopped 10.
Georgetown’s total was one shy of the most goals SU has ever allowed in a NCAA tournament game. The Orange’s deficit was also one shy of its biggest tournament loss ever, 19-8 to Johns Hopkins in the 2003 semifinal. Syracuse has lost in the first round of the NCAA tournament for three straight years (not counting last season’s Covid-shortened season).
