CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The top-ranked Syracuse University men’s lacrosse team scored seven of the last eight goals of the game to rally past 17-ranked North Carolina 12-11 in overtime before a crowd of 4,338 fans at Fetzer Field Saturday afternoon.
The Orange scored the last four goals of regulation and then won the game on an extra-man goal by Sergio Salcido 1:18 into the overtime period.
The furious Orange rally sent the home fans to the exits unhappy on what had been a festive day at Fetzer Field. The game marked the final regular-season game scheduled to be played at the edifice, which has been home to UNC lacrosse since 1949.
