By Andy McCullough
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - All day Saturday, Noel Devine threatened. Devine, the pint-sized dynamo and sophomore West Virginia running back, broke off a pair of 20-yard runs in the first half, his speed a visual and visceral reminder of the danger he posed to the Syracuse football team.
Clayton: Once again, Brinkley's best not quite enough for Syracuse
By John Clayton
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Curtis Brinkley should be savoring games like this. He is, after all, playing the best football of his collegiate career, a sort of redemption after four frustrating seasons crammed with injuries and setbacks. But there wasn't a hint of satisfaction about Brinkley Saturday, only anguish scribbled on the senior tailback's face following Syracuse's 17-6 loss here at West Virginia.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Pat Shadle posed for a picture or two outside Mountaineer Field after the game here Saturday, smiling a bit and laughing despite his team's loss. Why not? Shadle, the senior Syracuse kicker, had hit a career-long 53-yard field goal in his hometown.

By John Clayton
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - With two weeks to gameplan for West Virginia's high-octane, spread offense, Greg Robinson had plenty of time to concoct a defensive scheme.

By Edward Paik
Ange Bradley knew she had insurance. The SU head coach felt a sense of relief, standing on the J.S. Coyne's Stadium sideline, 20 minutes into the first half of Sunday's 3-1 win over No. 20 American. Even though American was the aggressor for most of the game to that point, Syracuse had the goal.
FH | Goalie Hess makes 4 vital saves to help Syracuse preserve narrow win
By Conor Orr
Whenever No. 2 Syracuse isn't on the field, Ange Bradley finds SU goalkeeper Heather Hess' mind tends to wander. "She does star-gaze quite a bit from what I've seen off the field," the Syracuse head coach said. But Hess' vigilant play between the posts Sunday was anything but lackadaisical.
MSOC | SU defense can't keep up with Rutgers, allows season-high 20 shots
By Michael Bonner
Brien Chamney didn't want to talk about it. Every question thrown the defender's way came back with a frustrated succinct answer. Syracuse lost in overtime to Rutgers 3-2, but the three goals made it seven SU has allowed in the last two games. For a team that allowed five goals the entire season before last Wednesday's game against St.

WSOC | SU held scoreless for 4th straight game in home defeat to Marquette
By Jen McCaffrey
Tension spread across the face of head coach Phil Wheddon as he tried to answer the same questions to yet another Syracuse women's soccer loss. Another shutout, eerily similar to Friday night's contest against South Florida, created more frustrations and disappointment among the Orange.
VB | Syracuse creates chances but can't score in 1-0 loss to South Florida
By Andrew L. John
Phil Wheddon was eager to see how his team would respond. After losing two straight road games, Syracuse needed a home game to get back on track. After all, SU hadn't lost at home in six games. But any possible momentum evaporated nine minutes into the game when South Florida midfielder Gina Pacheo scored from 15 yards out.
