For about a half of lacrosse inside the Carrier Dome on Monday night, the Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team looked like they were on their way to turning in their best performance of the season.
That feeling evaporated as the night wore on, and the home team Orange let a big early lead slip away against the Cornell Big Red, as they fell in overtime, 16-15.
After jumping out to big leads in the first half of 4-0, 6-1 and 10-4, SU led 11-6 at halftime. It was a tale of two halves, however, as the Big Red owned the second half, outscoring ‘Cuse 10-4 after the break.
