On Sunday, the Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team pulled off yet another one-goal victory: an 11-10 squeaker over the Yale Bulldogs that moved SU onto the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.
Our own Jim Simmons covered the faceoff disaster that led to the close game (and the needed late goal to win). But it’s worth discussing this season’s strange spat of one-goal games a bit more.
Namely: How much longer can the team keep this up?
In 15 games this year, Syracuse is 13-2, with 10 one-goal wins (three in overtime) and two one-goal losses.
