Transfers — Some key transfers really made an impact this weekend: First, Austin Geisler, who transferred to High Point from Virginia, had 18 saves in a near-upset of Duke. Then, Jordan Greenfield, a transfer from Fairfield, led Marquette in scoring (3, 2) to top Lehigh. Mickey Hofmeister (VMI graduate) led Richmond to beat a great Saint Joseph's team, and don't forget Ben Williams at Syracuse. He could be the answer to the Orange face-off woes, going 17-of-20 on draws. He's a transfer from Holy Cross. Sometimes a new face can do wonders.

Syracuse Face-Off Opponents — Syracuse coach John Desko must be jumping cartwheels around the Carrier Dome after the impressive debut of sophomore FOGO Ben Williams. The Holy Cross transfer dominated MAAC Faceoff Specialist of the Year Casey Dowd, winning 17-20 attempts, to help the No. 4 Orange in a 21-7 home-opening victory. It’s going to be a long season for ‘Cuse opponents if the Orange don’t have to worry about possessions off the face-off.
