Syracuse lacrosse relishes Cornell rematch: 'I'd love to get revenge against these guys'

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Payback will be the first order of business for the Syracuse lacrosse team in the NCAA Tournament.

That was the table set when No. 8 Syracuse was pitted against No. 9 Cornell in the tournament opener 7:15 p.m. Sunday in the Carrier Dome.

Cornell (12-4) easily handled 8 SU (8-6) 13-8 on April 10. That was a tough night for the Orange, which makes the players appreciate the chance for a do-over even more.

"I'd love to get revenge against these guys. I hate losing. I can speak for the rest of our team.
