Syracuse Men's and Women's Lacrosse Stand Pat in Latest Polls

Syracuse men's and women's lacrosse both remain among the best in the nation in the latest polls. The men are ranked 6th and 7th in the nation, while the women are 2nd in both polls. 

The USILA Poll puts the Orange men seventh, with North Carolina earning the top spot. The Tar Heels are followed by Duke, Maryland, Rutgers, Georgetown and Army. The Inside Lacrosse Poll has Syracuse sixth behind top ranked Duke, North Carolina, Maryland, Rutgers and Georgetown. 

The Syracuse women remain ranked number two in the nation in the Inside Lacrosse Poll. North Carolina was ranked number one and has been all season. Northwestern, Notre Dame and Penn State round out the top five. 

The Syracuse men started the season slow with a blowout loss at home to Army despite holding an early 6-1 lead. The Orange bounced back with a convincing victory over rival Virginia and then holding on against Vermont. Syracuse is back in action on Saturday against Stony Brook. The game starts at 1:00 p.m. Eastern and will be broadcast on the ACC Network. 

The Syracuse women have started anything but slow. The Orange has dominated three straight top 10 opponents in Loyola, Stony Brook and Duke. Syracuse has done so with a dynamic offensive attack despite the loss of superstar Emily Hawryschuk and an elite defense with superb goaltending. Goalie Asa Goldstock may be the best player in the nation regardless of position. Syracuse is next in action against Notre Dame on Thursday at 7:00 p.m.

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.
