Let’s face it guys, they’re just a bad first quarter team.
On Sunday afternoon, the Syracuse Orange women's lacrosse team overcame yet another slow start to defeat the Princeton Tigers, 13-9, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
In a trend we’ve seen far too often this season (although “seen” is in quotes here because of the malfunctioning ESPN+ stream), the Orange got off to a terrible start in the first quarter before essentially dominating the Tigers in the final 45 minutes.
Princeton scored the first three goals of the game in less than five minutes and held SU scoreless for almost the entire first quarter.
