The NCAA men's lacrosse quarterfinal between Syracuse and Denver was a close match with lead changes. Denver took the lead at halftime and maintained it, winning 10-8. Syracuse, predicted to finish last in the ACC, showed potential but fell short.
Final from Towson: 10-8, Denver. Orange falls in the NCAA Quarterfinals. Had been picked to finish last in the ACC this preseason. Lot of potential with this team. Just not quite ready for championship weekend yet. https://t.co/bXqYoCeYgQ
NCAA lacrosse quarterfinals FINAL: Denver 10, Syracuse 8 Denver scored with 30 seconds left in the first half, then outscored the Orange 6-2 in the third quarter to grab control of this one. The Pioneers will face ACC champion No. 1 Notre Dame on Saturday in Philadelphia.
Smart pick play there for SU to cut Denver's lead down to 10-6. SU will need more of those with Leo, Hiltz or Birtwistle shooting. Load up the guys with cannons and let them fire.
End of the third period. Most eventful by far, though the Orange is now in a five-goal deficit entering the final 15. Denver leads, 10-5. SU goals by Stevens and English. Last Pioneers goal was challenged by Gait. https://t.co/bXqYoCeYgQ
A little life here from @CuseMLAX. Two badly needed goals to cut @DU_MLAX lead down to 8-5 with 2:50 to go in the 3rd.
Another late goal gives Denver the edge at halftime after Syracuse held it scoreless most of the period. Pioneers up, 4-3. Leo netted Syracuse's only goal of the second period. https://t.co/bXqYoCeYgQ
NCAA lacrosse quarterfinals (at Towson) HALFTIME: Denver 4, Syracuse 3 Denver's Ty Hussey scores with 30 seconds left coming out of a timeout. Teams mixed it up in the Syracuse end just before halftime. Orange goalie Will Mark has 7 saves and 'Cuse is 6-3 at the faceoff X.
This has been a grinder so far in Towson. @DU_MLAX doing a nice job getting SU players off their spots. @CuseMLAX doing a great job making Denver take longer shots. Whoever makes the halftime adjustment to open up the offense wins this one.
Mark already over halfway to his best performance of the postseason thus far. Has 6 saves; finished Towson game with 10. 3:17 to go until halftime. Syracuse and Denver tied at 3. https://t.co/J9PhzunQkm
Denver just took the lead back at the 49 second mark to close out the first period, 3-2. Strong defensive play so far, but SU's offense also had a few passes not meet targets the last few times its had the ball. SU goals by Leo and English. https://t.co/bXqYoCeYgQ
