[B][URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/team/syracuse/2022']18. Syracuse[/URL][/B] I expected Cuse to start 1-3 and, as I’ve written and said multiple times, the Orange's performance vs. Maryland exceeded the expectations I had for them in the preseason (which is why they broke into my Top 20 and have stayed here since).

I expected the Orange to beat Hobart (though the performance on Sunday didn’t inspire a ton of confidence, that, as mentioned above, probably has more to do with how good Hobart is).

Now, Syracuse is 2-3 going into what I think will be their most important game of the year. Dave Pietramala’s return to Homewood Field will be electric for a lot of obvious reasons, but for me, it’ll be a bellwether of the remainder of the Orange’s season. 3-3, on a three-game win streak with Stony Brook, then Duke coming to the Dome and a trip to South Bend on the heels of that? Let’s go.

On the other hand, 2-4, coming off of a disappointing and emotional loss to a not-that-great Hopkins team with Duke and Notre Dame on the horizon?

Those are two very different scenarios to take them into early April.
