SYRACUSE LACROSSE REMAINS UNDEFEATED, HOLDS OFF PRINCETON, 7-5
PRINCETON, N.J. – Top-ranked Syracuse (9-0) extended its winning streak to nine games with a 7-5 win against Princeton (2-6) before a crowd of 5,401 Saturday, April 9 at Princeton Stadium. The Orange held the Tigers scoreless in the fourth quarter and scored twice in the final period to emerge victorious.
Senior Stephen Keogh (Toronto, Ontario) recorded his 19th career hat trick, leading the Orange with three goals, including the game-winner with 7:30 left in regulation. Classmate Jeremy Thompson (Nedrow, N.Y.) had two points (1g, 1a) in the victory.
Playing without injured star John Lade (Randolph, N.J.), Syracuse also received a tremendous performance from its defense Saturday. The Orange gave up only five goals, the third time in the last four outings Syracuse held its opponent to five goals or less. It killed all five of Princeton’s man-up opportunities, including a one-minute penalty against sophomore Brian Megill (Clark, N.J.) for slashing late in the fourth quarter while clinging to a 6-5 lead.
Redshirt sophomore David Hamlin (New Hartford, N.Y.) made his first career start in place of Lade. He drew Princeton attackman Luke Armour as his primary assignement and held him to one goal for the game.
It appeared Princeton would provide little resistance to Syracuse early on. The Orange opened up a quick 2-0 lead on goals by senior Josh Amidon (LaFayette, N.Y.) and Thompson in first two minutes of the game. After Armour got the Tigers on the board at the 8:11 mark, senior Joel White (Cortland, N.Y.) delivered a bounce pass to an open Keogh for a layup with 1:43 remaining the first to push the SU lead to 3-1.
In the second quarter, Princeton’s Chris McBride scored unassisted with 8:44 left in the half to pull the Tigers within one, 3-2. But the Orange defense blanked the Tigers for the rest of the period, and Syracuse got goals from Keogh and junior Tommy Palasek (Rocky Point, N.Y.) to go up 5-2 at the half.
However, Princeton refused to left Syracuse pull away. Mike Grossman and McBride found the cage less than a minute apart to reduce the Orange lead to 5-4 with 9:24 left in the third quarter. Tom Schreiber made it three straight Tiger goals when he found the cage with 29 seconds to go in the period to tie the game at five.
Princeton’s defense held the Orange scoreless for a stretch of 26:55, including the entire third quarter. Goalie Tyler Fiorito made five of his 10 saves in the third frame to give the Tigers’ offense an opportunity to knot the score. It wasn’t until redshirt sophomore Steve Ianzito (Clay, N.Y.) found Keogh inside for a 6-5 SU lead with 7:30 left in the fourth quarter that the Orange finally broke the scoring drought.
That was all the Syracuse defense needed. The Tigers generated just two shots the rest of the game.
Junior Kevin Drew (Katonah, N.Y.) put the finishing touches on the win, firing a shot into the empty Princeton net from 12 yards out while falling to the ground with 1:17 remaining to produce the final score. Fiorito was caught out of position on the play when he left the cage in an attempt to force turnover.
Senior goalie John Galloway (Syracuse, N.Y.) recorded six saves against the Tigers to earn his 53rd career victory. His save on Jeff Froccaro’s shot while Princeton was man-up with 2:36 to play in the fourth quarter gained possession for the Orange and ultimately led to Drew’s insurance tally.
McBride’s two goals paced the Tigers. Schreiber also finished with two points on one goal and one assist.
The Orange held the advantage at the faceoff X for the first time in six games. The Orange won eight draws to five for Princeton. Thompson led the way, winning five of his eight attempts. Syracuse also owned the advantage in ground balls, 29-26.
Syracuse returns home to the Carrier Dome on Tuesday, April 12 for a 7 p.m. showdown with Cornell. The game will be televised live locally on Time Warner Sports.
Game Notes: Ianzito’s assist on Keogh’s game-winner was the first of his college career … Keogh has nine career game-winning goals, including four this season … Saturday’s game was the 200th of John Desko’s head coaching career … It also marked the first time in the 23 meetings between Princeton and Syracuse since 1992 that one of the participants was unranked at the time of the game … Princeton’s 2001 NCAA title team celebrated its 10th anniversary Saturday and was recognized in a ceremony at halftime.

But Fleming scored consecutive goals on long blasts to regain a two-goal advantage at 7-5 with 1:00 left in the third quarter. Mike Fetterly notched his second goal of the season with 18 seconds left in the third to extend the lead to 8-5.
Hudson, Ohio native Bobby Tyler — playing against his homestate team — then finished off a fastbreak 1:16 into the fourth quarter for his first-career goal and a 9-5 edge.
The final exclamation points came from the stick of Mooney who netted his first two career goals, 57 seconds apart in the final minutes to close out the win.
The defense in front of Tim McCormack (6 saves) was strong again, limiting the Buckeyes to just 21 shots. UMass forced OSU into 18 turnovers with Jake Smith cauing four turnovers. The defensive midfield was strong all afternoon as well with key play from Rushing, Tyler, Ryan Hollenbaugh, Stephen Zorkers, Mael Walkowiak and Casey Rahn.

No. 18 Pioneers Extend Win Streak to Seven With 9-8 Win Over No. 17 Fairfield
For the second straight week, the Pioneers come-from-behind to defeat their opponent by one goal, claiming a 9-8 win over the Stags
HARTFORD, Conn. – For the second straight week, sophomore Mark Matthews (Oshawa, Ontario) used a late fourth-quarter goal to seal the win as the No. 18/20 University of Denver men’s lacrosse team (10-4, 5-0 ECAC) defeated No. 17/18 Fairfield University (8-4, 4-2 ECAC) 9-8 in the first game of the Inaugural ESPNU Warrior Classic at Rentschler Field in East Hartford, Conn. Denver has now won seven straight games.
Also scoring for the Pioneers was senior John Dickenson (Dallas, Texas), juniors Andrew Lay (Denver, Colo.) and Todd Baxter (Eden Prairie, Minn.), sophomores Alex Demopoulos (Canton, Conn.) and Patrick Rogers (Portland, Ore.) and freshman Colin Scott (Ridgefield, Conn.).
“I thought we played a much better game after the first quarter,” said head coach Bill Tierney. “Fairfield really made it difficult for us and took advantage of a lot of our mistakes in the first half, but in the style that we have played in all season long, we found a way to win down the stretch when it counted. A lot of credit for this win needs to go to Chase Carraro, who did an excellent job winning the ball for us on face-offs and getting our offense some really good looks.”
A freshman from Louisville, Ky., Carraro finished the game winning 12-of-19 face-offs and scooping up four ground balls.
Posting his sixth complete game of the season, senior goalie Peter Lowell (Freeport, Maine) made nine saves for Denver between the Pipes, including four in the second quarter.
Denver held the advantage in face-offs, winning 13-of-21, while Fairfield held the advantage in shots (29-23) and ground balls (24-16). Fairfield’s Sam Snow led the scoring efforts for the Stags, scoring three goals and tallying one assist for four points, while Brent Adams added two goals.
Up next, Denver will host No. 7 Loyola University at INVESCO Field at Mile High on Sunday, May 2, 2010 at 1 p.m. MT. The game will be held after Denver Outlaws training camp, which will run from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
This is the second consecutive year in that the Pioneers will host a game at INVESCO Field. Last season, Denver took part in the Sixth Annual Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Showdown, hosting Notre Dame. Since turning Division I in the 1999 season, the Pioneers have not faced the Greyhounds.
Tickets for the game are on sale at all Ticket Master locations. Fans can also purchase them through www.DenverOutlaws.com or by calling (303) OUT-LAWS. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for youths (12 and under).
