It wasn't 6-seed @CuseMLAX's day in Saturday's @NCAALAX semifinal, falling to 2-seed @NDlacrosse 15-7.

Fighting Irish goalie Thomas Ricciardelli stood on his head, stopping two-thirds of SOG.

It's also the end of the road for SU's star-studded senior class.

@NCAALAX @CuseMLAX @NDlacrosse @CitrusTVSports 🍀 7, 🍊 4 | HALF

Work to do for the Orange, who started down 4-0. Outside of a two-minute stretch in the first, SU has one goal.

Notre Dame is spreading the wealth. Six players have a goal.

And then there were four. 🥍

It's the @NCAALAX semifinal between 6-seed @CuseMLAX and 2-seed @NDlacrosse from Charlottesville, Virginia!

The winner faces top-seeded Princeton on Monday in the title game.

I'll thread updates for @CitrusTVSports.

A big story in Saturday's @NCAALAX quarterfinals at Hofstra was the noticeably slippery turf. @BrentAxeMedia asked @CuseMLAX coach Gary Gait about it postgame. His answer explains why it was so slick. ⬇️

The rest of the tourney is at Virginia's Scott Stadium, a grass surface.

[Cole Purvis @Cole_Purvis]

It was a party on Long Island for 6-seed @CuseMLAX, beating 3-seed @UNCMensLacrosse 13-11.

Senior Joey Spallina had three goals and three assists. ‘Cuse gets to championship weekend for the second straight year.

2-seed Notre Dame awaits this Saturday at UVA.

@UNCMensLacrosse @CuseMLAX @CitrusTVSports 🍊 13, 🐏 11 | FINAL

The third time's the charm! Syracuse beats North Carolina after falling to the Heels twice before.

Attackman Joey Spallina came up huge, tallying three goals and three assists.

'Cuse ➡️ Championship Weekend!

A trip to championship weekend is on the line! It’s 3-seed @UNCMensLacrosse against 6-seed @CuseMLAX from Long Island.

WOAH. Huge news to start the 2026 season. NCAA Men’s Soccer will transition to a two-semester season starting in 2027-2028. Leaves questions for Syracuse. The Dome could be the home of SU sooner than later with winter conditions. Subject to cabinet approval.

[Cole Purvis @Cole_Purvis]

In the first round of the NCAA Tournament, 6-seed @CuseMLAX just barely survived an upset bid from @YaleLacrosse, winning 16-15.

'Cuse goalie Jimmy McCool made two saves in the final 30 seconds.

SU plays 3-seed North Carolina next weekend on Long Island.

The road ends for @CuseWLAX in a 11-10 overtime loss to 6th-seeded @NavyWLax. It's the second straight year the Orange are bounced in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

@CitrusTVSports.

[Cole Purvis @Cole_Purvis]

@CuseMLAX @YaleLacrosse @CitrusTVSports 🍊 16, 🐶 15 | FINAL

SYRACUSE WINS!

A clutch defensive stop and a crisp clear led to the clock hitting all zeros. The Orange survive by the skin of their teeth.

Michael Leo and Finn Thomson record hat-tricks, and John Mullen wins 21 of 35 faceoffs.

@CuseMLAX holds off @YaleLacrosse to advance to the @NCAALAX quarterfinal. The Orange face @UNCMensLacrosse on Long Island next Saturday.

[Cole Purvis @Cole_Purvis]

@CuseMLAX @YaleLacrosse @CitrusTVSports 🐶 8, 🍊 6 | HALF

A 4-0 run to close out the half gives the Bulldogs their first multi-goal lead. The Yale crowd has fed off the energy on the field, as well.

The Orange trail despite leading 29-29 in shots.

Gut-check time for SU, who needs to come back to avoid elimination.

@CuseWLAX is eliminated from the NCAA Tournament following an 11-10 overtime loss to @NavyWLax. The orange led by 6 at halftime.

[Ryan Croke @ryancroke_]

@CuseWLAX @NavyWLax @Drew_Albaugh @CitrusTVSports 🍊10 - ⚓️11 | FINAL/OT

Alyssa Chung rifles a shot through traffic into the left-side netting past Guyette. SU's season ends in heartbreak, allowing seven straight goals to Navy to fall in round two of the NCAA Tournament.

Stay tuned for @Drew_Albaugh's postgame report.

[Ryan Croke @ryancroke_]

@CuseWLAX @NavyWLax @Drew_Albaugh @CitrusTVSports 🍊10 - ⚓️10 | END REG

The Orange force a turnover on the Midshipmen's final possession and don't have the time to get off a quality look. SU is lucky to be headed to OT after a disastrous second half.

A trip to College Park for the quarterfinals on the line. Next goal wins.

[Ryan Croke @ryancroke_]

@CuseWLAX @NavyWLax @Drew_Albaugh @CitrusTVSports 🍊10 - ⚓️6 | END 3Q

A quiet third quarter for both offenses, but Navy takes momentum into the fourth. 15 minutes away from a quarterfinal berth for Regy Thorpe in his first year as SU's head coach.

[Ryan Croke @ryancroke_]

@CuseWLAX @NavyWLax @Drew_Albaugh @CitrusTVSports 🍊9 - ⚓️3 | HALF

A dominant first half for SU ends on a bitter note: Mackenzie Rich limps off the field with what appears to be pain in her right leg.

The Orange, who haven't eclipsed 10 goals since late March, have nine on the board after 30 minutes.

[Ryan Croke @ryancroke_]

@CuseWLAX @NavyWLax @Drew_Albaugh @CitrusTVSports 🍊3 - ⚓️2 | END 1Q

Three unanswered Orange goals close the quarter. Encouraging sign for an SU team unaccustomed to high-scoring games to be up on the nation's third-best scoring offense after 15.
