MLAX | Syracuse slows down, beats Princeton at own game

By Mark Medina

It's been 17 matches that have spanned between Syracuse and Princeton since Tigers head coach Bill Tierney took over the helm in 1988. Reflecting those matches, he joked in Saturday's press conference following SU's 7-5 upset over the No. 5 Tigers that Syracuse seems to abandon its style of play only when it faces Princeton.

Softball | Syracuse splits scintillating doubleheader against Notre Dame

By Kelvin Ang

Like two prize-fighters, Syracuse ace Erin Downey and her Notre Dame counterpart, Heather Booth, refused to go down. They suffered hit after hit, inning after inning, but bounced back each time to mow down the opposing lineup. And finally, after almost five hours, it was Downey who succumbed to a big hit by the Fighting Irish, marring a gutsy afternoon and a scintillating performance by the pitcher earlier in the afternoon.

MBB Recruit | Shadow of Doubt: Mike Jones is another versatile prospect. But he's not eligible yet

By Matt Gelb

It was Gerry McNamara Day at the Carrier Dome. Before Syracuse and Villanova took the court, portions of the student section recognized two familiar faces on the floor. Recruits Paul Harris and Mike Jones made an appearance before the sell-out crowd of 33,633 to see what it could be like to bask in the glory of the Dome.

MLAX | Rival Princeton another ranked opponent for SU

By Zach Berman

A preview for a men's lacrosse game between Syracuse and Princeton ordinarily would lead with some poetic opening about two storied programs clashing in lacrosse's version of a heavyweight bout. It would wax on the tradition of the two programs, which have won 13 of the last 18 national titles.

WLAX | SU's Miller instrumental in bringing Loyola to Big East, now must face storied Greyhounds

By Zach Schonbrun

Syracuse women's head lacrosse coach Lisa Miller was part of the Big East coalition trying to add independent Loyola into the conference last year. Now the Big East's newest member will look to make Miller sorry she even asked.

Track | Syracuse bonds, sightsees on 8 road trips without home meet all season

By Jackie Friedman

The Syracuse track and field team never has a home field advantage. Out of eight regular season outdoor meets, the closest to home the Orange competes is Ithaca - still an hour-long drive. Its farthest road trip takes it to Tempe, Ariz., a journey it is fortunately allowed to make by air.

Tennis | Huignard undefeated in singles play after forced into role

By Drew Stal

Carolina Huignard has normally had help this season. Last weekend she proved she could win on her own. When senior Wei-Ming Leong left last Saturday's match early after a sudden injury against DePaul, Huignard, who has seen much of her recent success in doubles, was called upon to replace Leong in singles play.

Rowing | Mansfield continues national trend of female coxswains

By Christopher James

Courtney Mansfield is your typical athlete. A two-sport star in high school, the sophomore walked on to the Syracuse men's rowing team last year as a coxswain. There's just one thing - Mansfield is a woman. Surprisingly, Mansfield is the latest in a long line of female coxswains, not only on the men's team, but around the country.

Staff | Softball crushes Binghamton for 5th straight win

Eight of the nine starters on the Syracuse softball team had at least one hit as the Orange defeated Binghamton, 9-1, in five innings at the East Gym Complex in Vestal, N.Y., on Thursday. And Alexis Switenko stood out. Again. The senior improved to 7-1 on the mound and went 1-for-3 with a double at the plate to extend her hitting streak to 10 games.
