Syracuse Orange men -Lacrosse: North Carolina Preview and Game Thread

Things change so quickly in the world of College Lacosse NCAA tournament bubble.

At that time last week, the Syracus Orange was in the middle of the pack of eight largen and in conversation for a home game. Seven days later and a lifeless performance with an 11: 7 loss against Duke, and the orange and blue devils exchanged the places, with Cuse taking its place directly on the edge of the bladder.

Now SU arrives at the Senior Day to need a victory to improve your résumé in a matchup with the North Carolina Tar Heels and to dissuade her own brutal defeat against emergency lady last weekend.

The game is set for a 5 p.m. anti-game in the ACC network.

• All -time series: 33. Meet; Syracus leads, 20-12
• Last meeting: Syracuse W, 10-9 on April 13, 2024
• Syrakus CV: 9-4 total, 2-1 ACC, RPI 10, SOS 9, 3-4 against RPI top 20 teams
• UNC resume: 9-3 total, 2-1 ACC, RPI 6, SOS 11, 4-3 against RPI top 20 teams

Simply expressed, this is a very good team in North Carolina, which basically has strength everywhere where you look in the field.

You have the 12th points of the country (13.42), the sixth defense of value (8.42) and you are incredibly strong in the middle of the field on the face-off strip and online.

Everything starts with Fogo Brady Wambach (179 of 274), which is a physical animal with the numbers that take third place in the accused percentage (65.3) and in the floor balls per game (8.25).

The good news for the orange is that Johnny Mullen (189 of 299) is right there with him and occupies the seventh nationwide nationwide in view of the result (63.2) and second place in floor balls per game (9.46). If there is something in the way these two match each other, which give a decisive advantage over the other, it will be great in this game.

Your crime is led by the dynamic duo of Owen Duffy (30g, 20a) and Dominic Pietramala (37g, 2a) that dominate the chances for the Tar Heels. The couple summarized 41 percent of their total recordings this season this season. Duffy is the hard -to -tangible fire starter, usually made of X, and Pietramala is the external threat with a real rocket launcher for a shot. If you give him time and space to shoot, you are sorry.

Ty English (19g, 3a), brother of Sammy, is the leading goal scorer outside the Big Two and her top threat from the midfield. He is connected to the third attacker James Matan (12g, 10a) for third most common points in the team. Cornell Transfer and Baldwinsville born Spencer Wirtheim (5G, 14A) runs next to English in the first midfield and is second in the team in assists behind Duffy.

At the finish line, Princeton Transfer Michael Gianforcaro (108SV) brings a lot of experience and an all-American caliber trunk tree between the pipes for UNC. He has fulfilled his settlement for the heels with an 8.66 GAA and a percentage of 52.9 savings this season. This cannot be one of these poor early shooting days for the orange against Gianforcaro, or they could get into trouble in difficulties against the veterans.
