Syracuse
The Orangemen already looked in midseason form. Coach John Desko’s loaded team back came in great shape, moved the ball extremely well, defended well and after five weeks of practice were sharp.
Syracuse toyed with Bellarmine in its first game and in a real class move, Desko asked the scorekeepers to take down the score and start over again in the second half.
Dylan Donahue looked great, Kevin Rice, Bob Wardwell, Hakeem Lecky, Sergio Salcido and Tim Barber all followed suit. The most intriguing player for the Orange was hulking 6-foot-8 redshirt freshman middie Matt Lane. He moved well for someone his size, and in the ACC, his length could prove to be a big help for Syracuse if he continues to improve.
“I thought the attack looked particularly good, but they’re all returning starters from last year’s team,” Desko said. “We had good spacing on the offense and the defense was pretty stingy. Overall, I’d say I was pleased. Tim Barber, a transfer, did a good job. Wardwell did well. Matt Lane did pretty well, too.”

Kudos to Sergio Salcido - this kid came from a non hotbed of lacrosse in Florida, he is a great athlete who no one really expected to see a lot of the field in his first few years but he has forced the coaching staff to give him more playing time, first off the wings at faceoff to explot his athletisim and speed and last season as a SSDM. This season he has really worked on his shooting and looked like a valid 1st/2nd line offesnive middie, running past his Defensmen with ease down the alley and showed some very smart shot selection, he has obviously worked on in the off season!
Great to see![/QU
Guess that answers my previous Matt Lane ?
