The ACC coaches have spoken, and they’ve determined that two members of this year’s Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team were worthy of 2023 all-conference season honors.
Those two players are Joey Spallina and Cole Kirst. Spallina was named the ACC Freshman of the Year, while Kirst was named to the All-ACC Team.
After a decade in the conference, Spallina becomes the first Syracuse player to be named ACC Freshman of the Year, while Kirst is the only ‘Cuse player to be named to the weirdly-constructed All-ACC Team that includes six attackmen, three midfielders, four defenders, and two FOGOs (plus one goalie, one LSM, and one SSDM).
