Syracuse's Chase Scanlan has been suspended indefinitely from the lacrosse program, according to a report from Inside Lacrosse. The suspension is a result of an incident after the Orange's 21-9 loss against North Carolina. Syracuse.com reports that Scanlan has denied any wrongdoing through his high school coach.

“He says it’s nothing but it’s become something,” Silver Creek head coach Rob Genco said. “According to him, there’s literally zero chance that anything happened.”

Scanlan leads Syracuse with 24 goals on the season. He is second on the team in points with 33. Scanlan is fourth on the team in shooting percentage, second in shots on goal percentage among players who have attempted more than one shot, and fourth in ground balls. Scanlan is considered one of, if not the, best players on the Orange. 

Syracuse is currently 5-4 after that loss to North Carolina. There are two games remaining in the regular season. Both are on the road against top three teams. Syracuse plays at Virginia on Saturday and at Notre Dame the following Saturday. If Syracuse does not win at least one of those two games, the Orange will be ineligible for the NCAA Tournament due to having a losing record. 

It would be a disaster of a conclusion to the season given that Syracuse started 4-1 and was ranked number one in the country one year ago before the season was cancelled. Nearly everyone came back, leading to high expectations for the 2021 campaign.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
