[B][URL='http://www.insidelacrosse.com/article/reaction-no-4-syracuse-21-siena-7/30801']Reaction: No. 4 Syracuse 21, Siena 7 (IL: Rahme)[/URL][/B]
 
[I]Two startling revelations accompanied No. 4 Syracuse’s 21-7 dismantling of Siena on a snowy Saturday afternoon before a crowd of 2,740 in the Carrier Dome, SU’s earliest-ever opener. Each should serve notice to upcoming Orange opponents that two chinks in the perennial lacrosse powerhouse’s armor may no longer exist.

First, a four-year drought at the face-off X, a wilderness in which the Orange somehow crafted a 51-19 record despite X woes that ranged from a woeful low of .420 (2013) to a mediocre high of .483 (2011), appears to be over courtesy of Holy Cross transfer Ben Williams.

Second, the team’s bad habit of playing hot potato with a lacrosse ball early in the season due to its inability to practice on a full field thanks to Central New York’s notoriously nasty winners has been broken with the erection of the 87,000 square-foot Ensley Athletic Center.

Here is how each development defined Saturday’s contest...[/I]
