When the Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team opens up the ACC portion of their schedule inside the JMA Wireless Dome this Saturday (3 PM on ACCN), they’ll be doing so against the team that mirrors them greatly in roster construction and program placement, the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Much like Syracuse, North Carolina is a team in transition, trying to navigate a world without Chris Gray and figure out how to make it back to the NCAA Tournament.
Head Coach Joe Breschi is attempting to put together a lineup consisting primarily of young players getting their first real chance at the collegiate level mixed with a handful of veteran transfers.
