Syracuse men’s lacrosse: Late winner pushes Orange past No. 11 North Carolina, 15-14

The Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team kept their postseason hopes alive on Saturday with a 15-14 win over the No. 11 North Carolina Tar Heels on a goal by freshman Michael Leo with 12 seconds remaining to improve the Orange to 8-5 and 1-3 in the ACC.

Leo displayed a lot of guts in a late-game situation and some fancy maneuvering as he went right around his defender, showed great footwork and body control, and dove low for a strong finish to give the Orange the win. It was an amazing display from the freshman.
