Syracuse, N.Y. — Syracuse lacrosse transfer Nick Mariano is like a dangerous 3-point shooter, according to coach John Desko.
The UMass transfer can net a vicious shot from long range, forcing the defense to hurry out to him.
And if it does that, Mariano is good enough to dodge and drive toward the cage and put even more stress on the defense.
"Not everybody can shoot the ball like he can from the outside," Syracuse lacrosse coach John Desko said of his junior attack following Syracuse's dominant 15-4 victory against St. John's on Saturday afternoon at the Carrier Dome.
