Syracuse Lacrosse, by all rights, should have lost this game. Down multiple times throughout the contest, and with no momentum, the game looked over midway through. Even I, one of the most devout Syracuse fans (if I may say so myself) almost turned off my monitor ( I was watching it on WatchESPN). It looked like it wasn’t going to be Syracuse’s day.
Then, things changed and the game did an entire 180. It was everything this rivalry was and is. Close, tense, and a nailbiter. If you read my last post about this rivalry, you’ll see most Syracuse-Virginia lacrosse games are decided by a goal or less.
