The Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team got jumped in their own building on Saturday when the North Carolina Tar Heels came to town and crushed them, 19-13, in the ACC season opener.
Unfortunately, we saw a lot of the issues in this game that have been prevalent for this program in recent years.
The defense had an awful day at the office, surrendering 19 goals to a team that had scored 16 goals in their last two games combined. The narrative on UNC’s offense coming in was that they were still trying to figure out the pieces and how they’d work together.
