It’s been a rough start to 2023 for the Crunch. They’ve lost their first three games of the year, and combined with the two games they dropped at the end of December they were on a five-game losing streak. For the most part they’ve been in games and kept them close despite not being able to roster a healthy lineup. Now they’re dealing with two suspensions, and an archrival with a better record is coming into town to wreak havoc on a team that’s desperate for points. Not to fear, the reinforcements were on the way, and the game results were starting to break Syracuse’s way.
