Orange to face Seattle Sunday at the SU Soccer Stadium.
Syracuse men's soccer head coach Ian McIntyre is thrilled to spend and celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with his team, while awaiting this Sunday's third round matchup against Seattle. The Redhawks are tied for the most wins in the NCAA with 18.
SU capitalized on its few offensive possessions to roll past tournament newcomer Bryant at the Carrier Dome.
Chris Daddio knew his offense wasn’t going to have many chances to put the ball in the back of the net during the Orange’s first-round NCAA Tournament game against Bryant.
Facing the nation’s top faceoff specialist in the Bulldogs’ Kevin Massa can do that.
Syracuse (30-4) travels to Salt Lake City for its Sweet Sixteen matchup with Butler (30-4). Tip-off is 7:07 p.m. EST.
Syracuse starting forward Rick Jackson getting into foul trouble was the best thing to happen to Syracuse on Sunday afternoon.
With two hands tied behind their backs (the team's other starting forward Arinze Onuaku was inactive with a leg injury), the Orange took a bat to Gonzaga’s pumpkin chariot, and put up 87 points on the Cinderella-turned-NCAA-regular.
"This is as well as we've played all year," said Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim. "It was a tremendous performance."
