6. Syracuse
Paul Carcaterra has said it a few times this season. “Owen Hiltz is the most skilled freshman to come to the ‘Cuse since Mikey Powell.” So far, Hiltz (Inside Lacrosse’s No. 2 overall recruit) has delivered. He’s followed up a three-goal, two-assist effort in his first career start against Virginia with back-to-back four-goal games. The ACC Freshman of the Year race projects as a four-man derby between Hiltz, Duke’s Brennan O’Neill, UNC’s Collin Krieg and Virginia’s Connor Shellenberger.
Syracuse’s next opponent, Hofstra, has paused team activities after a positive COVID-19 test. Holy Cross has stepped in to replace the Pride for a trip to the Dome on Saturday.
