Syracuse men's lacrosse is a program with a long history of national dominance. The Orange won the NCAA title as recently as 2004 and 2002 ? the 2002 victory came over the Tigers by just a single point.
Just one week short of the Ivy League Championship, this weekend's Princeton Invitational not only gives the men's golf team an opportunity to impress family and friends, but it's also the last chance to "send a message to the Ivies that we're ready to go," junior Brent Herlihy said.This Saturday and Sunday, the Springdale Golf Club will host fourteen golf teams, including Penn and Columbia."A lot is at stake this weekend," senior captain Jason Gerken said.
Last weekend, still seeking dependable bullpen arms and productive bats for the bottom half of the order, the men's baseball team was swept by Dartmouth and Harvard in a pair of home doubleheaders to open its Ivy League season.As the Tigers (4-16-1 overall, 0-4 Ivy League) travel to face Brown (3-13, 3-1) and Yale (14-10, 3-1) tomorrow and Sunday, respectively, another week has been devoted to the search, but the same deficiencies that have doomed Princeton to its wretched start continue to make the immediate prospect of securing league wins unlikely.Not only are the Tigers mired in a seven-game winless streak, but their foes this weekend are each heating up just in time for their returns home.All three of the Bears' wins this season have been claimed over their last four games, and they should be eager to play their first game on their own field after rain cancelled what would have been their home opener Wednesday night.
With 664 career strikeouts, a 0.92 earned run average and a .297 batting average on the season the numbers speak for themselves.
Making three key saves in the final 66 seconds of play, sophomore goalie Meg Murray helped the women's lacrosse team secure a victory Tuesday evening.
Once the preseason favorite to win a national title, the Duke men's lacrosse team can now only watch from afar as the rest of the nation battles on.
As far as good baseball omens go, not much beats the second hitter of the game blasting the first pitch he sees over the left-field fence for a solo home run.After Tuesday afternoon's 11-1 loss at Monmouth, though, the Tigers are probably wishing they had done themselves one better.Freshman shortstop Dan Degeorge went yard for the second time this season to stake the Tigers to a 1-0 lead with one out in the top of the first inning, and it looked like Princeton was ready to give its full support to sophomore pitcher Evan Alexander in his first career start.But the Tigers (4-16-1 overall, 0-4 Ivy League) were held scoreless over the game's remaining 26 outs, and the Hawks (13-10) exploded for eight runs off Alexander in the bottom of the first to pull away early.Alexander, who missed his freshman year after undergoing Tommy John surgery, had looked sharp in two appearances out of the bullpen this year.

Going into Tuesday night's match with NYU (10-14, 0-12 Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association), the men's volleyball team was feeling confident?after all, the Violets have been the worst team in the EIVA this year, and the Tigers (6-11, 4-7 EIVA) rolled over them in three straight games earlier this season.When the Tigers arrived in Manhattan to face the Violets in the Coles Sports Center, however, they found themselves in a stressful situation, to say the least.

In one of the few regions of the country where lacrosse is as commonplace as bread and butter, it's not so hard to believe that many of the college club lacrosse teams have players who could compete at the varsity level.
