It will be SU’s 13th-straight year in the NCAA Tournament, though it hasn’t made it out of the first round since 2017.

A little over two weeks ago, Syracuse found itself in a must-win situation to avoid going under .500 with a two-game Atlantic Coast Conference road trip coming up. The Orange’s leading goal-scorer, Chase Scanlan, had just been suspended, and their defense was ravaged with injuries to starter Nick DiPietro and vital short-sticks Dami Oladunmoye and Brandon Aviles.
SU, which came into the season as one of the favorites to win it all, was fighting to just ensure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. But a win at Virginia to sweep the season-series against the Cavaliers rid SU of its tournament doubts.

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.
