8 home games highlight Syracuse men’s lacrosse 2015 schedule

Syracuse men’s lacrosse head coach John Desko released the 2015 schedule via an SU Athletics release Friday. The slate includes matchups with six of the Inside Lacrosse preseason Top 10 teams and seven NCAA tournament teams from last season.

The Orange, ranked No. 4 in IL’s preseason poll, start its season off on Feb. 7 in the Carrier Dome at 4 p.m. against Siena. Atlantic Coast Conference play begins three weeks later, when SU faces No. 10 Virginia on March 1 in the Carrier Dome at noon.

The defending national champion, No. 3 Duke, comes to Syracuse on March 22 for a 12:30 p.m meeting. Then the national runner-up will face SU in the Orange’s first true away game, when Syracuse travels to South Bend, Indiana to face No. 2 Notre Dame at noon on March 28.

The ACC tournament will once again be held at PPL Park in Chester, Pennsylvania, and the Orange will conclude its regular season after the ACC tournament with a May 2 visit to Colgate.

In all, the Orange has eight home games, three away games and a neutral-site matchup with St. John’s in Kennesaw, Georgia on its schedule. SU is coming off a first-round NCAA tournament loss to Bryant and was picked to finish second in the ACC by the conference’s coaches.
