Message: [QUOTE="OrangeXtreme, post: 2977907, member: 41"] [MEDIA=twitter]1111644266319790081[/MEDIA] [B][I]No. 9 Syracuse at No. 10 Notre Dame Saturday, noon, ESPNU[/I][/B] [I] Notre Dame needs Charles Leonard to have one of his best outings of the season. A respectable .600 percent (87-for-157) on faceoffs this spring, Leonard matches up this weekend against Jakob Phaup and his gaudy .660 winning percentage (70-for-106). Syracuse has grown accustomed to playing one-goal games, as 20 of its last 36 contests have been decided by that margin, one way or the other. The Orange are coming off a 9-8 overtime win against Duke, coming back from four goals down in the fourth quarter against a top-notch defense. Phaup gives Syracuse chances, and Leonard needs to do his best to limit those. Even though Notre Dame’s defense is a top-15 unit, Syracuse can capitalize with enough opportunities. [/I] [/QUOTE]
