The 2021 lacrosse season is spiraling on the No. 11 Syracuse Orange. Three loses in four, two of them by a combined 19 goals at home. Injuries. Suspensions. A 5-4 record and needing one win in the last two to ensure a postseason berth (unless they find a replacement for Utah).
Unfortunately, the setup for Saturday doesn’t appear any rosier, as the Orange take a trip down to Charlottesville to face yet another highly ranked ACC team, the No. 5 Virginia Cavaliers. There is no relief for the downtrodden in this conference. There is no sympathy, nor is there pity.
