Deep breath, everyone!
So that wasn’t exactly what we were all hoping to see, but in the end the Syracuse Orange men’s lacrosse team came away from their season opener in the JMA Dome with a 7-5 victory over the Vermont Catamounts.
It was just an absolute mess of a game from start to finish; a game that saw more than three times as many turnovers as goals. It was the kind of slop-fest that you might expect from a season opening game, featuring questionable decision making, very inconsistent offense, and the lacrosse ball spending more time bouncing around the Dome turf than nestled in anybody’s pocket.
