    Put These Guys On the Radar - Matt Kinnear Billy Dwan, D, Syracuse It’s not easy to call someone with the last name Dwan and his recruiting profile “under the radar,” but he is coming in to his own. He and Syracuse’s week against Delaware then Duke might be the best few days for a defense this...

    Notre Dame Game Preview (3/30/24, 2pm)

    The Syracuse Orange face off against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish this Saturday in a battle of top 3 teams. The Irish have had the Orange's number recently (and that's probably an understatement). I think I saw a stat the Irish have beaten the Orange by a combined 50 goals over their last...

    Hope they win a whole lot more games before the year is out, but this is still reassuring to read.

    Fieldystick is too modest, but here is their most recent bracketology. Good stuff, I always get way too engrossed in bracket prediction. I've long thought his predications are better than what the actual committee comes up with. Fiedly (if I may call you that), this seems like a silly...

    Hobart Gameday...

    If I remember correctly, Jordan Beck and Billy Dwan came in as man down specialists. The grad transfer from Kenyon did as well until he got hurt (it was pretty early in the season). But I think that was about it, definitely wasn't the entire unit.

    I wonder which programs Quint is thinking about here?: "I have a feeling that we could be seeing massive coaching turnover at the end of the 2024 season. I sense some coaches are now on the hot seat. Two or three key jobs that domino into five or six changes at “Power 5” programs. Let’s see how...

    Hobart Gameday...

    I guess I wouldn’t go as far as to call SU’s attack “elite”. I think I’d still put them behind teams like UVA, Notre Dame, Penn State and Cornell. They are very good, and the key is in most games they’ve been “good enough” to win. What makes the offense very good, is its ability to take what the...

    Hobart Gameday...

    Think he’s playing attack. Not sure he works well with a line that doesn’t have a super good dodging option. Hiltz dodges enough to keep defenses honest. I’d put Leo down at attack. Guessing Hiltz got hurt pregame?

    Hobart Gameday...

    Shorties getting roasted out there has to be the biggest concern. Not really sure what’s going on with the offense, but four in one q isn’t bad. Have to fix the mental stuff. Hiltz not being out there is not great.

    Lax Pick em’ : Week 8

    Im not against scheduling difficult games, just Army in particular always seems like a bad bet. To me, they beat SU, fine, but then they don’t hold up their end of the bargain, and they end up consistently dropping games they shouldn’t, hence SU loss doesn’t look as good.

    Lax Pick em’ : Week 8

    I feel like this is why you don’t play Army. They always play Syracuse like it’s the Super Bowl, then they drop inexplicable Patriot League games they have no business losing, hence damaging RPI and the like. Curious if they don’t win the PL tournament if they will make it in. Doesn’t seem...

    Hobart start time moved to 3:30 PM

    All good points. I guess I just feel like the weather can be unpredictable no matter what. If they have to play a tourney game in the pouring rain, I'd feel better knowing they've faced-off in not so great weather. I know it's highly unlikely that they would play a late season game in...

    Hobart start time moved to 3:30 PM

    I guess I disagree. I think its important for SU to play outside, and teams like Army, Cornell, Vermont, Colgate, ie plenty of "northern" teams play outside in February and March. Yale and Cornell are playing in Ithaca on Saturday where it sounds like the weather should be similarly as bad as it...

    Hobart Game Preview (3/23/24, 3:30pm)

    The Orange embark to play their first true road game of the season against the Hobart Statesmen this Saturday, the start of a four game road trip. This will most likely be the last time the Orange play a team outside of the top 20 this season. Hobart is 3-4 on the season, with wins against...

    Haha, probably too soon to tell. Who knows if kids will still be thinking of this game come September 1st? I have to imagine it helps that SU plays so many games when no one else is and is getting loads of social media attention for it. Playing on Memorial Day weekend will definitely be a boon...

    Incredible defensive performance, best I’ve seen from this team in many many years. Guys were completely locked in. Special days from Figueiras and Dwan who dominated their matchups. Have given Caden Kol a lot of grief on here but, with help, he held Dyson Williams scoreless. And what can you...

    The Orange welcome the Duke Blue Devils to the Dome for both teams ACC opener. This should be a spirited affair. The Orange have had some Dome heartbreakers this season, hopefully they turn their luck around against a team they've had some success against recently. Duke has put up video game...

    6. Syracuse Kinnear’s Vote: 7 I covered the Orange the past two weeks, both at neutral sites. The game against Johns Hopkins did really feel like a monkey off the Orange’s back; that game was emotional and tense and postgame felt cathartic. From that final whistle through their one-sided win...

    Cornell vs. Princeton

    I certainly hope you are right. It is a mid week road game, coming off a trip to Chapel Hill. I still think that game against UNC is the most important of the year, but the Cornell game feels must win as well. Definitely like SUs chances against the Big Red defense, especially the short...

    Cornell vs. Princeton

    True, but if they don’t win the requisite faceoffs Cornell can rack up goals. No time to get over confident!
