[I][B]6. Syracuse[/B] Executing a simple endline out-of-bounds play has its virtues. When the ball-carrier runs hard with conviction, the second attackman sets a solid screen and the pass is on target to the cutting third attackman, great things can happen. Nick Mariano's goal with 1.6 seconds in the game made the big difference in the Dome. Mariano claims he wasn't listening in the final huddle — he didn't need to. That is a play SU has been running all February. The screen got the Albany defense to switch and created enough separation to free up the Mariano's hands. His shot snuck in, near side hip height, partially obscured by the defender. It was the simplest of plays. It was the best of times for Cuse and the worst of times for Albany. Where would SU be without transfer Ben Williams, Nick Mariano and Brendan Bomberry (1G, 3A)?

Orange have won 43 consecutive games when holding their opponent below 10 goals. They may have to rely on their defense more this year. Getting a win after overcoming a 6-1 second quarter deficit bodes well for my round fuzzy friend Otto. Cuse plays Army next.[/I]
