Thanks for all the insight - obviously not the result we were looking for, but hope the Orange can take some lessons away from the game. Kind of makes me wonder if playing two scrimmages in the fall is really worthwhile? I still think they overdo it with the scrimmages and wish they would play a 13th regular season game.  Seems like whatever the coaches are doing to "shape" the season isn't really working ... maybe try something different? I don't think it would be a bad idea to schedule more midweek games during the regular season. If they want to be successful during the ACC tournament and Final Four weekend they have to learn how to play with little rest. I think the coaches are putting too much bubble wrap on this team by giving them as much rest as possible between games.

Off the top of my head it seems like the top performers of the fall were Cook, scoring six goals in two games, and Scanlan with 5 in three.  Nobody really jumps off the page, but sounds like some younger players put up some solid performances, the Kim twins, Berkman and Rosa come to mind. Also it was good to see that Dordevic looks like he's back to normal, and most important of all no big injury news.

Obviously this post should come with a gigantic asterisk that says "FALL BALL", but a little concerned that Rhefuss didn't make much of an impact in the fall.  Coming off last season I think it's imperative that he be a big contributor for Syracuse next year. He's a senior so it's not really super important for him to have a good fall, but I thought we might see a little more from him.  Something to keep an eye on I guess.
