Syracuse[/I][/URL][/B][I] Orange play Army on Sunday in the Carrier Dome. Anish Shroff and Paul Carcaterra, two SU alums, have the ACC Network coverage. I’m anticipating that the two-deep resembles something close to: An attack of Griffin Cook, No. 22 Chase Scanlan and Stephen Rehfuss with freshmen No. 77 Owen Hiltz and Liam Ferris coming in off the bench. The first midfield unit is without equal — Brendan Curry, Jamie Trimboli and Tucker Dordevic — who may have to be double-poled on a weekly basis. The second line is outstanding, as well, with players like Owen Seebold, Lucas Quinn and Jacob Buttermore vying for PT. Peter Dearth is a Top Five SSDM nationally. Jakob Phaup and Danny Varello seem like they’ve been the FOGOs in the Dome for a decade. [URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/team/DUKE/2021'][B]3. Duke[/B][/URL] Chemistry is earned. The Devils played a sensational first quarter in a [URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/game/47258/2021']17-8 win over Mercer on Saturday i[/URL]n a cold rain storm. They led 8-1 after 15 minutes. Joe Robertson returned after missing 2020 with a torn ACL, contributing five points. Nakeie Montgomery dished out three assists and Michael Sowers looked like his old self (4G, 2A). The game featured a combined 48 turnovers. 44 members of the Duke roster played. Those that didn’t huddled up by the new $700 electric heaters on the sidelines. Mercer dug in after a shaky start. Mastering the fundamentals is a never ending journey. Dino’s Devils travel to Towson this weekend. [URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/team/UNC/2021'][B]2. North Carolina[/B][/URL] The Heels[URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/game/47314/2021'] handled Jacksonville on Saturday night 18-7[/URL] at Torrance Field in a chilly drizzle. Nobody is complaining about the weather in 2021. We are just thrilled to be competing. Chris Gray gave social media an ample supply of splash plays: a no-look assist and shovel shot, there is no end to his functional creativity and improvisation. William Perry, the microwave, scored three times. Carolina’s collection of scoring threats is like a never-ending gobstopper. They created 53 shots. High Point is next on Tuesday at 2 p.m. on the ACC Network. [URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/team/UVA/2021'][B]1. Virginia[/B][/URL] The Wahoos' schedule flexibility combined with Army’s suddenly open date as a perfect match. Inclement weather pushed the game to Sunday, when it was played on the lower turf practice field. Cavalier goalie Alex Rode was unavailable, and Matt Moore (3G) dressed and started. UVA led 8-4 at halftime as Payton Cormier (3G, 2A), the Oakville Ox, scored three times in the first 30 minutes. His ability to rumble inside to pay dirt at 230 lbs. is concerning for opponents. [URL='https://www.insidelacrosse.com/game/49217/2021']The Cavs won the Ace Adams Cup 14-9 [/URL]behind Petey Lasalla owning 75% of the draws and Army’s inability to clear. Charlie Bertrand (1G, 2A) and Ian Laviano, the ferocious rider (2G, 1A, 3CT) became the 18th Cavalier to reach the 100 goal milestone. UVA plays at Loy[/I]ola on Saturday at 5 p.m. on ESPN+.
