Sometimes in life, when someone is so fantastic at what they do, the way that Syracuse lacrosse's Ben Williams is at taking and winning face-offs, the conversation about them begins to veer from how good they are to WHY exactly they are so good.
That is what happened in Syracuse University's Carrier Dome last Sunday evening, following a convincing 16-7 takedown of the #12 ranked Albany Great Danes. Ben Williams had just won 17 of 24 face-offs to help the Syracuse Orange control the pace of the game and dictate possession and shots.
