The Syracuse Orange fell to the Towson Tigers 10-7 in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals on Sunday. It was an underwhelming end to a fantastic season for this SU squad.
With the Syracuse loss, this is the first time since 2004 when the ACC will not be represented at Championship Weekend.
First, I have to give credit where credit is due. Towson’s defense was suffocating. The Tigers gave up one goal and one assist to the best midfield tandem in the country of Sergio Salcido and Nick Mariano. In net, Matt Hoy stood on his head all day with 12 saves, many of which were absolutely spectacular.
