[I]Senior midfielder Nicky Galasso was named the Syracuse recipient of the Nick Colleluori Award and said the speech made at halftime of the event by HEADstrong President Cheryl Colleluori brought tears. His mother, Cindy, passed away 10 years ago due to lung cancer and a brain tumor and he also was touched by Katherine Frega's inspirational story.

"It's an honor getting the award and I feel for the (Colleluori) family," Galasso said. "That girl's story hit my heart. I started tearing up, thinking of my mom."

Galasso's Orange also excelled, defeating Bellarmine, 14-5 and Binghamton, 13-6.

"As a team I think we did pretty well - I think we had to pick up where we left off at our Alumni game. I think we are playing pretty well and we're excited for the season."

Syracuse's lone Philly player, senior defenseman Bobby Tait (Germantown Academy) enjoyed coming home and seeing his team close Fall Ball with momentum.

"It was a really awesome event," said Tait. "It's always great coming home and seeing family, but the cause here is the most important thing. Being from the area, I have always known what the (HEADstrong Foundation) message is, but wherever you're from, upstate or anywhere around the country, I think the message is important and everyone should be aware of it.

"I think we always have things to work on, but it's good to play against someone else and see our strengths and weaknesses. Luckily, we brought a lot of guys back and I think we can make a run again."[/I]
