By Kyle Austin
The season is officially six days old, but it's already crunch time for Syracuse lacrosse. If recent history is any guide, Sunday's 3:30 p.m. matchup against Army (1-0) in the Carrier Dome will go a long way toward determining the course of this season.

If something happens once, it's a fluke. Twice and it's probably a trend, but in the case of Syracuse softball, if history repeats itself four times it's tradition. Four of the last five seasons, the Orange has started the season 0-4, including this year.
Track | Drouin heads to Big East championship as conference's scholar-athlete
By Heather Crowley
As Jillian Drouin prepares for the upcoming Big East Indoor Championships, the Syracuse senior will no doubt be focused on adding another title to her already impressive resume.
