ACC Thursday Night Lacrosse is legit. There's just no two ways about it. On both the men’s and women’s sides, primetime, televised lacrosse on Thursday nights needs to become a permanent thing for the ACC — because it rocks.
This particular Thursday night, however, did not rock for the No. 3 Syracuse Orange women’s lacrosse team. It was a night that started with celebration for the honoring of Syracuse’s graduate students, and ended with heartbreak on multiple fronts.
Syracuse lost the game to No. 4 Boston College Eagles: a 14-13, absolute barn-burner of a contest between two conference rivals and two of the best teams in the country.
