After a 5-0 start, the Orange now sit at 6-4 after losing 4 out of their last 5. The result? They are in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament for just the 2nd time since they won their first NCAA Title in 1983.
It is ironic, isn't it? The fact that a season which has been marked as the centennial celebration for Syracuse lacrosse, perhaps the most storied collegiate program in the history of the sport, has turned into such a nightmare for the current edition of Orange men's lacrosse.
That was never more apparent than a week and a half ago, when Syracuse hosted the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a Saturday evening content televised on ESPNU.
